Problems passing options to the shell compiler...

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a case of "newbie-ness", but I cannot seem to get the shell compiler to accept any arguments.
Example 1:
According to the doc's, the /? should present a list of options. Instead, I get:
$ pbcompiler /?
******************************************
PureBasic Linux x86 v3.81
******************************************
The file '/?' isn't found or can't be opened !
Example 2:
Compiling while using the /EXE "filename" option is supposed to create an executable using the name specified. Here are the results copied diectly from the shell:
$ pbcompiler /EXE "test" Example.pb
******************************************
PureBasic Linux x86 v3.81
******************************************
Loading external modules...
Starting compilation...
33 lines processed.
Creating the executable.
- Feel the ..PuRe.. Power -
**Note- In this case the executables *are* being generated, but always as "purebasic.exe" instead of the name specified.
Any ideas or tips?

pbcompiler -h
lists alls options and you can create an executable with:
pbcompiler -e filename filename.pb

Hi!
This should really be included in the help. I've also searched for this.
But why does the Debugger (pbcompiler -d code.pb) does not work? I've tried to compile a easy ...
... but it didn't work.
best regards,
Christian

I get this error when I try to compile a program that access to Linux API

@robink:
Exactly the same like me! Strange ...
This is also a strange thing: Every time compiling a code, this 'purebasic.exe' is compiled.
@Saboteur:
Which Linux API commands? GTK, SDL or other? Perhaps you have some example?

Christian

The purebasic.exe is your compiled program, you can change the outputfile with -e filename.

I tried to compile the example: linux_api.pb (in examples/sources), but with no exit.

I have something different on RedHat 9..
..I can compile fine, but cannot execute from the terminal window.
If I use the file browser and double click, then the program runs.
..a simple console app I cannot get the executable to run either
from the terminal window nor the file browser; however,
if I just pbcompiler filename.pb
it runs from the terminal window and outputs there..
..I think I saw something about that in another posting; so please
excuse another (Linux) newbie...

The exactly message I get with linux_api.pb is:
Code: Select all

@RobinK:
This seems to be logical.
But why is this file an exe-file? I think this is windows specific?
@TronDoc:
I'm not sure, but the help says that the console functions just run under windows.
@Saboteur:
OK ... know it becomes scary. Have the same problem now, too. But I know exactly that the linux_API.pb example worked fine, some days ago. So there is a problem with the libgcc ...
Tried to include the gcc-library in the code and it worked then:
Code: Select all
lib.l = OpenLibrary(1, "/lib/libgcc_s.so.1")
*Buffer = CallFunction(1, "malloc", "10000")
If *Buffer
MessageRequester("PureBasic", "Memory allocated", 0)
; Free the memory block by calling 'free'
CallFunction(1, "free", Buffer)
EndIf
CloseLibrary(1)
End
I don't know what distro you have, but I hope the lib is on the same place like mine. If not, try to find it on your system.
So purebasic have a problem to find the lib. Don't know why ... (perhaps Fred has an idea?) ... nevertheless it's strange that it worked first without including the lib directly.

Christian
PS: Perhaps anybody else tries the linux_API.pb example?

Some of the console functions are working under Linux and i can execute console applications
from the terminal but not from the filemanager.
I've got the same problem with the linux_api.pb and Christian's code works on my pc.

Seems really to be a bug. I'll send a PN to Fred.
