I tried to code a simple self-editor for have a compiler-ide,
but failed with some massive problems:
-Commando 'RunProgramm' failed with
PureBasic.o: In function `main':
PureBasic.o(.text+0x6a): undefined reference to `PB_RunProgram'
#He Fred, seems that this is not implemented yet.
-MessageRequester
Still reports to console instead of open a window
-StringGadget
no Wordwrap and there is no Richtextlibrary (like in Windows).
-Procedures (userdefinied)
Some Problems is that when i try to call them, i must
be patient of Low/Uppercase of the calling syntax.
(I have search for over 10 minutes to eliminate this feature (Or Bug)
cause compiler says
Line 62: test() is not a function, an array, or a linked list
so Test() and test() are not the same
please elimnate this problem
Another problem is the ProcedureReturn-Function
it did not return any value !
See code:
Procedure.l Test(Value.l)
MessageRequester("Information", "Value:"+str(Value.l), 0)
Value.l=Value.l+1
MessageRequester("Information", "Value:"+str(Value.l), 0)
; ProcedureReturn=Value.l
ProcedureReturn=13;Value.l
EndProcedure
MessageRequester("Information", "PROCEDURE-TEST", 0)
var1.l=10
Result=Test(var1)
MessageRequester("Information", "Value:"+str(Result.l), 0)
MessageRequester("Information", "Value:"+str(var1), 0)
; Result=RunProgram("Test","Parameter",Flags); DID NOT WORK!
End ;
-FileSystem
I Don't know if it is a general LINUX-Problem
i'm logged in as root.
CreateDirectory works fine
CopyFile,RenameFile and DeleteFile
-SUB-Routines
Same as Procedures ->PureBasic.asm:116: symbol `pMySUB' undefined
-using variables
same Problem as Procedures an Starting compilation
-InlineAssembler fails
I tried to compile AsmInline.pb and the compiler failed with:
Line 16: 'VALUE' is not a valid operator
-Some wishes for a new version:
Add a simple editor with compile_to and Run-Options.
Better try to code them in PureBasic itself.For a early version there is no need
for Coloring keyqwords.Simple Open/Save-requester etc.
I would do that for you, but I cannot compile the easiest things because
some Things are missing:
->RunProgram
->MultiLineTextButton
Or should we use kwrite ?, It can color different syntaxes and comes
with source.This Textfile is edited in kwrite.
Use a newer Syntax-checker to prevent Errors while compiling.
(Upper/Lowercase sensitive)I Think that is a massive problem.
Some Hints and Tips:
The Freeware packer UPX can compress EXE's, also under Linux.
And some good news:
Most of the stuff works fine.
