PureBasic Forums - English

Frédéric Laboureur or Richard Anderson,

Have you plans for rewritten the static libraries for using in PowerBASIC of can you distributed the declarations of the LIB files. I will paying the translated static libraries LIB or DLL's files for using in the PowerBASIC for Windows Compilers

Give me an repley if you interest for rewritten this LIB for other BASIC's like PowerBASIC, IBasic Pro

Kind regards
Stephane

Ps: I waiting to buy an copy of PureBASIC because I will see more block structures and modular programming like Visual BASIC, PowerBASIC

This is NOT allowed to use the PureLibraries in any other langage.

From the FAQ on www.purebasic.com:
Is it allowed to use DLLs made with PureBasic in other projects ?
Generally yes. You can make DLLs including PureBasic commands for your own projects without any restrictions. But it's not allowed to release simple "wrapper" Dlls to include PureBasic commands in other programming languages.

"Give me an repley if you interest for rewritten this LIB for other BASIC's like
PowerBASIC, IBasic Pro"

Just compile whatever code you want to use/code in PowerBasic into a DLL and use it
from within PureBasic. Forget about trying to mix PowerBasic with PureBasic, just use
whatever PowerBasic stuff you need within PureBasic, now you have the best of both
worlds...

I, personally, would use PowerBasic ONLY if I can't do it in PureBasic, so far that
hasn't happened yet. I get a small, very fast EXE, a Visual Designer that works and
all the Gadget commands to make it work, what more do you need?

A WEB Browser in PB (PureBasic) is 14K! In PowerBasic you can't even do one (unless
you find someone else's library...)

IMO, stick with PureBasic, these guys here have no ego problems, let you speak your
mind and actually tell you if there's a bug, so you can deal with it; unlike the
PowerBasic guys, who banned me from posting when I asked why we can't have a "What's
new" list for update releases. Zales actually spoke of destroying his life's work,
because someone wants to know what's new with the PB 7.02 release, imagine that!

This kind of stuff isn't going to happen to anyone here, so that's where I'll stick
around... With every update you get a "What's new" list, what has been fixed, and
what is still an issue, just what a programmer really needs...



Plus, they aren't just talking for 5 years of having a Linux version, here they
actually have one! Just what the doctor ordered, now you have more than one platform
on which your code can run.

So forget about making PureBasic run with PowerBasic, make PowerBasic run with
PureBasic and do it only if you need Windows-only programs.

My 2 Cents worth...
