PureBasic Forums - English

Hi,

I sometimes test the codes proposed on the forum and it happens that some codes do not want to launch in the PB IDE 6.11 x64.
I have this message: "Cannot execute the file with the internal debugger. Please try the standalone one."
What does that mean and how to no longer have this message?

Thx

I don't know why you received the messages but this is how you can select the standalone debugger:

Compiler menu -- Compiler Options menu item -- Compile/Run tab -- Use selected Debugger drop down list

Here's the link to the help file information: https://www.purebasic.com/documentation/reference/ide_compiler.html

I personally only use the standalone debugger because it was required when using jaPBe and I never found a need to use the internal one when using the PureBasic IDE. That is one reason I am unaquainted with the message you saw to please use the standalone debugger.

that will usually happen when the files compiler configuration uses another version of the compiler or x86 vs x64.
Check the compiler options of the file.

try disabling windows defender. (I found it in forum)

Instead of disabling anything, I would rather understand...
And especially, know what the message "Please try standalone" means.

I only see this message when another program is still running and the integrated Debugger is still in use.

Trellix also see PB (V6.11) as malware. It blocks the debugger or does not allow work. I send them a message that tells to put PB in their whitelist. We will see..

It's not seen as a malware but as a generic variant of some virus/trojan according to some heuristics that shows false positives in most of the cases.

Virus scanners are always garbage.

W11 is a bane for programmers!
W10 is a joy...
