This simple code works fine in win10, but no console is diplayed in Ubuntu 18.04?
Code: Select all
OpenConsole("Test")
ConsoleLocate(100,100)
A$ ="xxxxxxxx"
PrintN(A$)
Debug A$
Delay(5000)

Not a bug.

List of Platform-dependent Functions
ConsoleCursor() "
On Linux or MacOS, this is ignored as the console is only line based"

Ok, but why is this not working on Linux? Yet it still works on Win10?
Code: Select all
OpenConsole("Test")
;ConsoleLocate(100,100)
A$ ="xxxxxxxx"
PrintN(A$)
Debug A$

Under "Compiler Options" did you set "Executable Format" to "Console" ??

MacOS must also be set to Console if you want to compile a console app.
For "Console" the PureBasic help file says...
"If your program is intended to be a pure console application (i.e. not a GUI application which sometimes opens a console) then you must remember to set the executable format to 'Console' when you are compiling your programs."
