PureBasic Forums - English

Hello,
Just installed this application and tried to run the demo programs. The compiler errors out with a message that says to use the "rerun as root using sudo" command to run as an admin. How do I that? Seems strange that the program would ask that?

Chris

Hi,

a bit less informations.

Which PB version?
Which OS?
Which demo program?

I guess you installed the linux version.
If so, did you run the check install script?

I think it's Linux

Hello, and welcome to the PureBasic forum.

Assuming that you are indeed running on Linux, the PureBasic installation requires a few extra steps. This PDF tutorial would be the best place to start:

Where did you install PureBasic? Outside /home ? In this case you have to start the PureBasic IDE itself as root, since running a programm from the IDE (I think) creates the assembla/executable within purebasics folder.

I've just extracted the archive into my home directory. It's imho the better way.

Wow - thanks for the responses. Actually, I'm on a Mac. I just extracted Pure Basic to my desktop. I'll locate the folder elsewhere and see if that works.

Chris.

Mac OSX 10.11:

I copied only the dmg on the desktop.
2 double clicks and it works out of the box.

No problem here.

But I still doesn't know which example you tested.
So I can not try to reproduse it.

Okay, I moved the PB folder into my Applications folder.
I am on an Apple iMac, OS X El Capitan, 10.11.3

Here is what version of PB I have:
PureBasic 5.41 LTS (MacOS X - x64)
Feel the ..Pure.. Power

I still get the same error message:
"PureBasic - Linker error
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo."

No matter what I try - the compilation starts and then this error pops up.

I do have Xcode on my machine in order to program in Swift. I'll see if there is something I can spot in the Xcode environment.

Chris

Hi,

yes, you have a probblem with your XCode.
But since I'm only a 'sometimes' OSX use, I can not remember what was to do.

Maybe one of our OSX gurus can tell you the answer.

Better write OSX in your headline, than they look inside this thread

Bernd

Found the problem.
I had recently downloaded and installed the newest version of Apple's Xcode.
I had not used this program. When I started Xcode, it had me agree to the license. Xcode then started normally.

When I did that, PureBasic would now run the sample/demo programs.

Therefore, there is some dependency between Xcode and PureBasic.

Chris

Of course, there is.
PB uses XCode.
But that is also written somewhere.

But now you can start in the world of PB programming
