Hi,
Is it possible to use a different ide which then calls Purebasic for compilation and debugging ?

I'm used to using Visual Code on Mac.

I saw this post https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewto ... 26#p619926 but I'm not sure what a liner is/does also the post appears to be Windows only.

thanks in advance.

I've never tried it, but there is this VSCode extension for PureBasic.

Probably the same stuff but with some more PB related comments.

Or if you like Github

Hello, Notepad ++ also work with PB and include syntax too.

It doesn't work on MacOS, otherwise I would suggest my AkelPad assembly

The compiler supports the command line. But in the native IDE there are many useful things that are bundled and cannot be transferred. The IDE has settings that are saved to the source, and the compiler uses them as parameters for each source individually. I suggested making this a separate module so that it could be more easily adapted to another IDE.

You can open both IDEs and edit in one and compile in the other, just like I did before when I started using PureBasic. There is nothing complicated about this, you write the code and when it’s time to try it, expand the minimized editor window, it offers to update the modified file, you press Enter to apply and then run the code, that’s it.
