Wrapping 4.0 Commands into 3.94

Post by Nik »

We all know that it's illegal o directly wrap PB Commads in a dll to use in a different language, but as now Fred stated that 4.0 will have a different library Format, and we need Libraries from 3.94 but want to use 4.0 functionallity within our app, are we allowed to wrap the new PB Commands into a DLL and use it with software compiled with PB 3.94 as it isn't exactly a different language?

If you are distributing a dll containing wrappers of single PB commands then it is illegal!

i cant undersyand why there is so much confusion regarding this.

Because my project needs the XML Lib ^^
But maybe this will also be converted 8)
Yeah I think it's good that it's illegal to wrap Purebasic commands I only thought it could be something else if you only use it in a PB Project (an older^^)

are there any plans to update tailbite to be compatible with 4.0?

or will 4.0 include NATIVE ability to take PB code and generate a PB library?

some of us have written fairly complex and time consuming libraries. i have kept all my sources VERY safe. i guess if need be i can compile the sources to a DLL, keep the LIB generated, and statically link it to my 4.0 exe if i HAVE to.

what say you Fred? is it going to be a nightmare to reconfigure our libs for 4.0?

im interested because i plan on selling my first commercial app soon, to get some extra $$ to get rid of my piece of crap car, and for a down payment on a house.

im going to apply for a federal small business grant, so id like to get a general idea of how drastic the change is going to be of the lib use.

should i hold off on writing the app until 4.0, because it will include ALOT of what ive written already.

Code: Select all

!.WHILE status != dwPassedOut
! Invoke AllocateDrink, dwBeerAmount
!MOV Mug, Beer
!Invoke Drink, Mug, dwBeerAmount
!.endw

Theorically it shouldn't be long to port an old lib to v4 (especially with TailBite).

Old bugs good, new bugs bad! Updates are evil: might fix old bugs and introduce no new ones.
