Anyone has tested for Purebasic with Rasperry ?

Anyone has tested for Purebasic with Rasperry ? If yes ? What is your experience from that ? Is it difficult for embedded system in programming ?

Thanks a lot.

I did. Installation was a bit of work, but someone in the German forum wrote a script which automates this. So run it and relax.
PureBasic itself worked nice (tried 6.00 on a RasPi 400), I had no problems so far. Just did a small project to test whether it works at all.
Some others here already did a lot more.

Works exactly like the installation on Linux x86/x64 systems.
Just stick to the instructions for Linux.
Runs with me on a PI 5 super fast.
A tip
Under Raspberry, set from Wayland to X11 back. There are restrictions at Wayland (OpenGLGadget, Systray)

I had to do the same to get PB to run. We have had many problems due to Wayland, it broke so many things. I'm not sure the Pi using Wayland by default was a good idea at this point in time. There was a bit on denial in the pi forums by the devs that it was breaking so many things.

Thanks to all for sharing to infos

You can install Windows and PB for ARM64 on Raspberry PI 3, 4 and possibly 5 (not tested).
And develop applications for Windows.

It should work just fine with the current Raspberry OS (linux). It has only C backend but I see no drawbacks there. On RP4 the 3D examples work for me only at 15 FPS but I use full resolution 1920x1080 which must be a brake on performance. I haven't used it in weeks but I like to test things on it, console and network programs preferably but also anything else. Mouse support is still poor for me (I might have overlooked the trick) so I suggest to use joystick/gamepad controls for 2D and 3D apps when using Linux; it's a thing to invest in no matter the platform. The raspbian OS comes with preinstalled VNC server you only need the client on your PC, and then you can easily use purebasic and the desktop apps; but it won't be good quality if you try 2d/3d full screen apps, for this you should directly plug a monitor to the Rpi.

It reportedly works very well on RPi 5 - I have none but a user here tested it, it loads and compiles at least 2x as fast on the newer one. Loading and compile times are significantly longer than when you use a PC, and sometimes the IDE may seem to react slowly (this might partially be due to the VNC connection) but it is very usable imo! Best practice is to close all unused source files, especially the big ones, or it can take a "very" long time to start the IDE

What I miss with the Raspberry PI OS is the dynamic mouse acceleration we have with Windows, macOS, or Linux PCs.
However, I haven't found any other mouse drivers that do this yet.
