Code PBLibs in PB

Post by **Polo** » Mon Dec 29, 2003 1:18 pm

Well, you can let it like it is now, If we really want to modify it, we just have to go into library sources and modify it by ourselves

Anyway, you say that array won't works, but will it work one day ? I would be interested if you can allow the Dim arrays

To be honest, the beta version is quite complete; it only lacks array handling, and variable argument/CPU specialized*/debug functions, which is somewhat buggy yet. And: a help file, helper libs to allow using TailBite for plugins and good samples.

Yes, it'll support arrays, it's very easy to fix that but I just can't do it until 4 or 5 January, sorry.

And anything reasonable you suggest. I won't work in TailBite until 4 or 5 January, when I'm back home.

*Yes, it would be absurd to use TailBite for this task, I just want to give that possibility.

ok, I can't wait for array supports

Hi El_Choni,

Thanks for your tool.

I have a suggestion (i think it's not your priority).

It will be good if your tool accepts dropped files (folder ?), pb file to do a lib from it and desc to do the lib from asm files.

I don't know if I understand you, Denis, but the ASM sources can be available, you just ave to check the option "Keep Sources files" in the Tailbite Manager.

Hi Polo,

what i want to say is:

from explorer you select a pb file and drag and drop it onto the TailBite.exe or onto the TailBite manager window, then the lib will be directly done with default parameters.

The same for asm file, it this case i was thinking for personal asm files, but there are no differences between own asm files or TailBite asm created files to do the lib.

The drag'n'drop thing is a good suggestion. In the TB Manager, i'll make it put the dropped file in the below string gadget (so you do what you want with it).

Compiling from a desc file is already implemented, provided that you use the folder structure used by TailBite (I know, it's not documented, remember there is a help file missing

). Dropping a pb or desc file in TailBite should already work (pb or desc file is the first parameter), but I haven't tested it (I must make it use the default params yet, though).

El_Choni,

i just try with the manager, not with TB.
I'll try soon with TB.

Tks

I can't do this. I need a desc file or pb source to know what to do with the asm file. Or maybe I don't understand what you mean.

I use this way with my tool to done the lib from my own asm files.

I drag'n drop my desc file on my window and my tool process all the asm files, and create the .Lib and then create the lib itself.

My asm files and the desc file are in the same folder.

None of the examples work under WIN2k !!!

I've build all examples, they are in the right directories but Purebasic does not load them has internal functions!!!

:roll:

Hmmm... I see there are still problems with Windows 2000 for some reason. Anybody else has tested TB with Win2000?

BTW, there's only one example included. Could you test with this and see if it works?:

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL MyBox(message$)
  MessageRequester("MyBox", message$)
EndProcedure

Remember to relaunch PureBasic after making the library. And don't give your PB file the same name as an existing UserLbrary (the previous will be erased). Thanks and regards,

LOL!

It works!!! By George it works!!!

The example included is the one I was using for debugging, most probably won't compile ok. I suggest you use your own code, you see how it works, it's easy.

@El_Choni
just testing your LIB tool and for now (after making some small test libs) it works fine.
