PureBasic on Linux
I have used purebbasic for windows since 2007 for some complex programs ,but I am not a skilled computer user. I bought a new machine with ubuntu MAKE installed on it. I got purebasic installed and the IDE working. I can get my old programs loaded but they will not run. I can write simple progams but I can get output only thru DEBUG. I went thru the process in purebasic/checkinstal.sh. It indicated that everything is in order. I went to “terminal” and found that most of the required packages had not been installed and I was unable to find them on ubuntu MAKE.
Is there a desktop distribution that I can change to,which will have the necessary packages? Would ubuntu with no derivative like MAKE be a good choice? Is there a source of packages outside linux distributions?
