Hello PB Team,

Threading :wink:

WaitThread seems not in cluded in Linux distribution.

Its not listed in the Thread lib, The Docs say its there
also the TODO does not include its missing.

Feature Request: WaitThread

It would be a shame to keep linux not waiting :wink:

Regards,
Norman.

Hi pbdep, this worries me. I only bought pb less than a week ago, specifically for using on Linux. From the amount of posts I've seen it looks as though the Linux version is unusable, or is that not a fair conclusion? Also, anyone any idea of when the next release may be? I've emailed Fred but got no answer yet (I forgive him, it is xmas after all :wink:

Hi dmoc,

When reading the documents i looks exiting for Linux, but i think
PB Teams needs a little more input for Linux :wink: Overall it seems
that a lot of Windows users use it (how abut Amigas?).
Linux needs to be 1o1 with windows and that needs input,
thats why im posting a lot :wink:

Yes there are some main functions missing for the use in linux,
wich are critical for linux use, And i bought it too ( 2 weeks ago)for use under linux :wink: Still i can only build my programs under windows and hope linux release catches up very quick!

I realy hope that PB team will do its best , i think so, and will
release the next release 1o1. I dont know when eighter :wink:

Greetings,
Norman.

The Windows version of PureBasic is the primary version, and always
updated first. Then, Linux/Amiga follow, but at a slower rate. So
while Windows has many cool commands and features, it always takes
a bit longer for Linux/Amiga to be ported from the Windows version.
