Before you start with Raspbeery, you can practice with Linux. I recommend creating a VM with VirualBox with Ubuntu 21.04. You can find a simplified installation here (should also work with Raspbeery).jacdelad wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:56 pm I would also like to try it on a pi. I never have used Linux before. From what I've seen on the Raspberry OS website I think I'm capable of installing the os, but hopefully someone skilled can make a step by step instruction on how to set up PureBasic afterwards (for 5 years old ones).
It would be v6 because the code base and output are radical new parigms compared to v5.xx.Lebostein wrote: Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:05 pm Why is this version 6? I see only a very small list of new features, most of them are updates of third party libraries...
Can anybody explain that? Thanks!
Added new C-backend compiler, added support for macOS M1 (arm64) and Raspberry PI (arm32)Lebostein wrote: Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:05 pm Why is this version 6? I see only a very small list of new features, most of them are updates of third party libraries...

While our two preceding notes are correct, what I should have said was "because you've been hiding under a rock and haven't been reading the forum lately." (And this would come with the kind request to see it as friendly sarcasm, because I see you have not posted since summer.)Lebostein wrote: Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:05 pm Why is this version 6?

Say what? PureBasic has just undergone a MAJOR upgrade in a huge way. It now compiles to both ASM and C output, and is the only Basic on the market that doesn't requiring any supporting frameworks (like Java) to compile for 5 different platforms (6 if you include the web with SpiderBasic): Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry PI, and Amiga. (I admit the Amiga support is very bad, but you can still download the old Amiga version and use it).Lebostein wrote: Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:05 pmWhy is this version 6?

That's a major technical implementation change, but not any improvement to the language itself (syntax, constructs, grammar, refinements, productivity). Anyway, looking at this forum the vast majority seems to use it exclusively on Windows and many gadget details need sadly low level hacks(aka api calls). Anyway 2, a v6 would be a logical release for breaking changes/improvements. Evolve the language. Just check the feature request forum for what is felt missing.BarryG wrote: Tue Dec 14, 2021 1:29 amSay what? PureBasic has just undergone a MAJOR upgrade in a huge way.
