i am creating some terminal app on Linux Mint 20, but when i compile, show this error :
I checked all the functions to see if there isn't one that calls a window, but it doesn't, how do I solve this?

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: Window.a(Window.o): on function "PB_Window_FlushEvents":
Window.c:(.text+0x13): reference not set to "gtk_main_iteration_do"
/usr/bin/ld: Window.c:(.text+0x18):  reference not set to "gtk_events_pending"
/usr/bin/ld: Window.a(Window.o): on function "PB_CloseWindow":
Window.c:(.text+0x62): reference not set to "gtk_widget_get_type"
/usr/bin/ld: Window.c:(.text+0x6e): reference not set to "g_type_check_instance_cast"
/usr/bin/ld: Window.c:(.text+0x76): reference not set to "gtk_widget_destroy"
...
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

on compiler options, in executable format I set it to : Console, and it still shows the error...

There must be a command somewhere that requires GUI. A WaitWindowEvent or something similar is enough.

Minimal code

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()

Print("Press Enter!")
Input()

CloseConsole()

Possibly also an external library

Question?

Why can't I just start the console programme from PB-IDE under Mint 20, like with Ubuntu?

Awesome !!
thanks !

i remove commands related to Usage PNGDecoder() and it worked !!

which libraries do I need to install on my client's computer (linux) so that he can use console applications made in purebasic?

Usually nothing. Except if you use GTK2 or QT. Unfortunately, Webkit still doesn't work (WebGadget).
