Hi.
I just recently purchased Pure Basic on advice from a friend of mine and I love it. I am from a Linux background and would like to help develop the Linux version of Pure Basic even further.
I am on a steep learning curve with this but already i have a few ideas on what to add.
Just one thing what development programs do you need to develop the linux side of things?
Bye for now,

Hi Peter,
welcome to the (few) Linux user of PureBasic.
The most problem of the Linux-version is the version number.
This means that only 50% of PureBasic form Windows are translated to Linux.
(Correct me fred if i'm wrong).The compiler itself is a bit buggy, but most
of them fred has fixed.We have to wait for a new version.
I'm coming from the PRO-side, this means i'm a Pro-coder for buisness.
We work with Windows, but I have to watch the rest.
Something i personally missing is seriell-port access and of course how
to call the system libs (IO,Drivers etc.) (with examples please) .
I want to code some TCPIP-Servers which has access to the seriell and IO-Ports of the computer.BTW the compiler crashes to often at this time.I reported it to fred already and we have to wait.
Personally I'm learning Kylix today, but want to write some of the smaller
code with PureBasic(Its smaller and faster of course !) .

Hi Siggi, some of the guys are working on serial libraries from what i've heard. Won't be in the 2.80 release I don't think. I've also seen some other (not in the Pure distribution package) TCPIP servers and general web handlers that were quite impressive so if I remember who it was, I'll ask them if they developed some i/o libs.Something i personally missing is seriell-port access and of course how
to call the system libs (IO,Drivers etc.) (with examples please) .

To develop on Linux, you have (as on Windows) the choice between gnu C and NAsm (Assembly). I could send you the tool to make lib on Linux starting from 1st january (not at home for now..).

Happy to see than some of you (Hi RingsJust one thing what development programs do you need to develop the linux side of things?

Yes! I'm also interested to see a 2.8 Linux version.
There are some Basics for Linux (Phoenix Basic, Gnome Basic, KBasic...) but some are not finished or a P-Code compiler.
So I think a stable, up to date Linux version would increase the amount of PureBasic users.
You are the man, go for it Fred!
BTW: Fred, once you announced a QNX and a Be version. But the wonderful Be is sold to Palm (nobody knows what Be's future is...) and QNX is not very popular. What are your goals to support other OS in the very far future? Maybe Darwin (MacOSX for i386 computers)?
Have a nice day...

May be I will do a MacOS version (real PowerPC one) when the other version will be complete/stable enough. I like this processor and the MacOS X seems not too bad at all.

A MacOS-version sound interrest.(There is only a Language named REALBASIC for that OS available), but please first finish more stable version for Win/Linux first.
thx in advance,

Hi all,
Well I am back again to help develop this excellent compiler for Linux.
One question has anyone got any serial port routines or samples I can look at?
I am looking for reading and writing to serial port routines.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that would be fine if Fred can convert some of these stuff(seriel Port) to native linux, after he bugfixed the new version.One question has anyone got any serial port routines or samples I can look at?

Hi,

I am interested in providing some more libraries but i need to know what language to write them in and how to link them in.
