PureBasic Forum

Just bit the bullet and installed ubuntu linux from a magazine on a small portable. My first time ever.

Downloaded the pdf from the tutorial page to follow. Also downloaded latest PB release for Linux and found the script to install all the dependencies. Both the one from the PDF and the one in the install.sh fail telling me they cannot find the bits they are looking for!

Can anyone help please?

With Ubuntu it´s easy

Translate:
I don't think it's very topical anymore. Maybe ts-soft can provide a current version of ts-soft.

I myself make it easy for myself with all the settings. So no...

Create a folder named "Programs" under' Personal Folder' and put Purebasic in it.
Create a shortcut to the program' Purebasic' and copy it to the desktop.
Start the terminal program and perform the following three installations:


Ready

P.S. Install only right the PB-Version to Linux. PB-x86 to Ubuntu 32bit and PB-x64 to Ubuntu 64bit

Thanks

Typed in the first line into terminal and it tells me several lines of

Unable to locate package libgtk2.0-dev

followed by some couldn't find etc

any ideas?

A little digging on net.

Used sudo apt-get update and computer went mad updateing.

After that finished used the first line above and it appears to be working telling me it has to update loads of packages which it is doing.

So far so good

Thanks mksoft

The apt-get update seems to have done the trick.

Ran all three commands in your post after that and it took a bit of time but it all worked.

Restarted computer and a new icon appeared "software Updates" so ran that as well two hours later it finished with a restart. After restart downloaded latest release for 64bit unpacked and it worked.

Just need to move my programmes across now which will be for later.

New to Linux so silly question how do I distribute my programmes compiling using Linux archive them and ship archive or some other way?

Thanks to all

PureBasic Rocks!

Got it all going and transferred one of my larger attempts at programming (12,000 + lines of code) ran first time in Linux just a few issues with the form design where buttons are a little bigger etc but nothing major at all!

Absolutley BRILLIANT!
