No,
you must add the pbcompilerc over preferences of the IDE to the compilers

I have found the problem, with the ASM Backend and the C Backend without optimization the type recast seems to take care of it but the C Backend with optimization apparently don't. I mean using a ".b" return value for a Boolean purposes. Which is not the way to go with the C Backend and lead to problems.

To make a long story short use integer (-9223372036854775808 to +9223372036854775807) type for Boolean purposes even if it appear to be overkill for storing 0 or 1.

Sorry,
I'm gonna have to take a swing at that. A bool is always a whole register. I had already written that here.

With the optimisation of GCC, it seems to have caught up with you now.

I know now and if you check carefully I have edited the code to reflect that. It didn't took me many hour of investigation to figure out the problem. That being said I don't like that especially when you deal with binary files. Read/Write Integer don't use the same space inside a file depending on which system it was created 32 bits or 64 bits system. So you need to solve this issue, one way is to include a binary file header describing that aspect so a binary file written on 32 bits systems can be read on 64 bits systems and vice-versa. And this is something I would like to avoid at all cost.

- Brand new Raspberry version!

Thanks Fred and team, really good news

Will there be a sub-forum for reporting Raspberry bugs?

That's pretty cool!
Many thanks to Fred and the team!

Hello!

I can't seem to be able to make beta 1 accept the "C backend compiler" on Ubuntu 20.04.

See the screenshot:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Looks like pbcompilerc executable don't have execute permission. I changed and it works.

Take a look if that's the problem.

Yes, it now works, but there is an IDE bug.

Thanks!

IDE bug on Ubuntu 20.04, PB 6.00 beta 1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IkNtGPvhBw

Installing the following package in Ubuntu 20.04 gave an error: EDIT: IDE issue fixed by installing the packages.

libgnome2-dev is no longer needed

how happy to read that purebasic will support raspberry pi and other platforms, you and fantaisie software are admirable !

Thank you Fred, Andre and Timo. You have made an old man happy.
Total love for the PB 6 and the pi version. You guys are the best. I've put off going out on a date tonight to try the pi version
If you come to Oz I will shower you with drugs, alcohol and women, or boys if you wish.
