PureBasic Forums - English

I'm now trying Kubuntu, which is KDE. I like it. Perhaps it is a good place to start. I took a test online and they came up with 4 I should try.

Xandros was too resource heavy (according to them) and was not a good choice for a laptop.

Their other choices:

Madriva
Ubuntu
OpenSuse

Will Kubuntu run PureBasic?

>> Will Kubuntu run PureBasic?
Yes, purebasic run on all (x/k)ubuntu without problems. See the tip from Beach for install required libs.

That's not true. The GTk 2 IDE doesn't work and the GTk 1 IDE is very buggy.

I guess, that was not the question... the issue with the GTK2-IDE is discussed several times... it will work on machines with GTK-Libs 2.4 (maybe on 2.6 too) but not with the actual GTK-Version... The "buggy" ide (gtk1) is buggy on every distro....

So far the statement "PB runs on all (X/K)Ubuntu" is correct as this is not a statement about the errors PB still have in 3.94.... and with V4.0 all this issues might be gone.....

Yes, but not the "without problems" part.

Purebasic is the programming language. The progamming language run
without problems (only colorrequester doesn't work).
In ubuntu all required libs avalaible. Opensuse for example has no gtk1-dev.

Personally i use Gentoo Linux. I try to use before RedHat, SUSE, Ubuntu, Kubuntu. And now my choice is Gentoo.
As editor i use Kate - KDE integrated multilingual editor.

Kate is the best free editor you can get there for Linux!
I use Kate to do my coding in PB, looks better than the PB IDE

I think same too. I use Kate for php, perl also. But for c/c++ i use VIM.

Mos of the time, I am using Konsole (X Terminal Emulator) and nano does its jobe quite well
I have been thinking of doing a similar application in PureBasic, but I don't know how to do it..

When you want to do something like nano, have a look at ncurses (google for it), There is no wrapper for PB yet though but when 4.0 comes this shouldn't be a problem since we will ahve import^^

I know about ncurses and all that stuff. I managed to make a terminal program with a menu in fasm, but the string management was so hard, that I gave up

Why not use C ? It should be much easier than with FASM, Or C++, then you also could wait for version 4

I am already doing stuff in the PureBasic 4 Linux alpha release and it's stable enough for a small application, but still waiting for the beta and hopefully it is more stable.

About C, I have used Pelles C in windows and the fact that I hate C or whatever bloated++ is very high.

ASM looks better than C, so I think I'll stick with FASM and I found a String management in ASM guide which should help me a lot.

Thanks anyway

Where you download PureBasic 4 for Linux? I check members download area now, but nothing about version 4.
