PureBasic Forums - English

I fail to understand the issue here. I had to watch the gif 3 times until i remembered ;) But it looks like a Windows things, right ? I guess it's only a Windows problem... But you can also reproduce the "bug" with a single monitor and with Performance Options "Animate windows when m...

Thanks! (and thanks for pointing out the possible setjmp/longjmp problem in your PM)

@ccode_new, @gltianya
You can use RuntimeSwitcher to create a custom msvcrt.lib (x86+x64) and switch between CRT and UCRT.

No, I'm just replacing the original msvcrt.lib (PB\PureLibraries\Windows\Libraries) with a custom one (e.g. VS 2022 libcmt.lib+libvcruntime.lib+libucrt.lib = _MT_17_msvcrt.lib).

I'm not sure if I understand this correctly: with the RuntimeSwitcher I can compile PB programmes with Visual Studio? And thus possibly use newer modern UI elements? :shock: :D With RuntimeSwitcher you can use static libraries created with VS 2015+ in PB. The idea was born here (raylib) . But even ...

http://www.Lunamedia.at/rts/RuntimeSwitcher.png The main purpose of 'RuntimeSwitcher' is to easily switch between PB's C Runtime (CRT) and the newer Universal C Runtime (UCRT). In addition you can also build your own UCRT (+STL +CLR) using Visual Studio 2015 or later, allowing you to use more recen...

Very nice! Now add some beat detection

You missed the 'e' in Profile and the dash between 1 and Microsoft is not Ascii 45 (but 8211)

Thanks very much! The replacement of "msvcrt.lib" was successful. I can now create a static library using "MS Visual Studio" and it works. Great, I'm glad to hear that! I wasn't 100% sure if everything would work on another computer... Can I tell PureBasic to use a different msv...

How to statically build the "raylib" library on Windows with PureBasic compatibility? (.lib / .a) I'm pretty sure you can't! PB's C runtime on Windows is very old and Raylib needs some of the newer features... Fortunately, you can do it the other way around. I created a custom msvcrt.lib ...

SetWindowColor does not set the background brush of the window and, in case of the FrameGadget, draws with the default window color instead. ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;- TEST PROGRAM FRAMEGADGET ;------------------------------...

...forces me to add Align #PB_Structure_AlignC to every structure I create... I'm a neofitos on this matter :? Which is the purpose of doing that? Aligned memory access is faster than unaligned... I hope it stays that way. I use a lot of structures for communication. I also use overlays of structur...

Maybe for compatibility with Visual Basic <= 5. Only later VB6 used the C standard with user types. Ok, maybe. But this downward "compatibility" forces me to add Align #PB_Structure_AlignC to every structure I create, just (in case) to get proper padding. Internal structures are already p...

Why does PB align structures to a 1 byte boundary by default? There must be a good reason for that, right?!

If you don't have or want a dedicated Linux machine, just create a virtual machine with VMware or VirtualBox and compile from there. The benefit is, as infratec mentioned, that you can also test your program right away.
