Title says it all.... just check: Probably even more such constants (=> https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... piler.html) are affected. I just felt about this one when compiling one of my codes with the newer PB versions...

In the "Compiler Options" window, click on the "Constants" tab and check the "#PB_Editor_CreateExecutable".

I never understood why this is necessary. Why can't the constant #PB_Editor_CreateExecutable be always generally available, like most other built-in constants that start with #PB_

I mean that this worked before?
Or it's just a lost IDE configuration when I started with a fresh PB6.30 on a new laptop, and wasn't aware of the needed compiler option I had always on with older PB versions for many years on the previous laptop

But I second the suggestion of Little John, the compiler shouldn't need the IDE configuration for this constants

Yes, for me this constant and it's name (as well as the other two (#PB_Editor_BuildCount, #PB_Editor_CompileCount)) is somehow strange. I have already considered this issue here: #PB_Editor_CreateExecutable not recognized
