Building PureBasic OpenSource Projects on Windows: A Quick Tutorial

[ChrisR]

Here are the official Build Instructions


And here are detailed, step-by-step Building Instructions on Windows, It's really simple, with pictures and enhanced batches :

• Menu, Compile with ASM or C Backend, Check the target PureBasic folder and if it is writable, Save PureBasic.exe to PureBasic_%hhmmss%.exe,
  Check if the IDE was created successfully or not.

Let's start by creating a dedicated Build folder (e.g. F:\PureBasicIDE) and start Downloading:

• Download latest full version of PureBasic

• Download the PureBasic OpenSource Projects, Branch devel : purebasic-devel.zip (direct link)
  Otherwise visit Github fantaisie-software/purebasic then click on the Code button, then on Download ZIP

• Download BuildPBIDETool.zip with improved batches

Extract purebasic-devel.zip and BuildPBIDETool.zip here



Extract Portable Purebasic by dragging and dropping the setup PureBasic_Windows_X64_LTS_6.xx (or X86) file on Extract_Portable_PureBasic.cmd
A shortcut PureBasic_Portable is created to launch PureBasic in portable mode





Copy PureBasicIDE Tool with modified batches inside purebasic-devel (open source) folder, confirming the replacement



Now open the Build Menu by dragging and dropping the Portable Purebasic folder, PureBasic_Windows_X64_LTS_6.xx on purebasic-devel\BuildMenu.cmd
Or run BuildMenu.cmd then drag'n drop the Portable Purebasic folder in the cmd window



Here's the Build Menu, select an option and press Enter



And here's the result of option 2 - Compiling PureBasic (C Backend)

Thanks for the feedback Gurj
It's good to know that building PureBasic open source projects also runs on Windows 7 x86 with minimum system requirements.
Thanks to Timo and Fred, the IDE is also Pure
