fasm: command not found

[GeoTrail]

I have installed Mandrake and appearantly have successfully installed PB 3.91.
When I try to compile using pbcompile -c source.pb it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

******************************************
PureBasic Linux x86 v3.91

sh: line 1: ./purebasic.exe: No such file or directory

As I am not a Linux expert, I'm not sure if the needed files, if any, are installed.

1. "fasm" command is in "compilers" directory. You need to copy it to /usr/bin (like "pbcompiler").
2. If you need to try 3D demos, you need to copy "engine3d.so" and "plugins.cfg" to your application directory.
3. You need 2 libraries to compile purebasic programs: sdl-dev and gtk+-dev (i don't know if that is the real name, you need the developers versions of sdl and gtk+).
4. Good luck,

1 - do a symbolic link from the "compilers" directory to /usr/bin, in a shell, it looks like : ln -s /home/foo/purebasic/compiler/fasm /usr/bin/fasm
2 - do the same thing for the engine3d.so
3 - you can generate a gtk-config by compiling the src of gtk.
4 - good luck ^_^

Thanks Saboteur and KarLKoX.
Finally got it working.
Just compiled my first Linux app

Just wondering though, how come it has an exe extension?
Isn't that just for Windows?

And another, isn't there a PB IDE or Visual Designer for Linux?
Kinda sucks to use KWrite without syntax highlighting and the Visual Designer

Try KACE, it comes with syntax highlighting for PureBasic

I use it with linux version of PB and it works great. Even compiles and runs your code from the editor.
