One quick and short question

Post by ZX80 »

Hello, everyone.

What version of PB for linux should I use if I want to write something under fedora or redhat ?
Is this possible with the versions of PB we have for linux (Debian / Ubuntu) ?

Thanks.

Debian for 32 bit version
Ubuntu 18.04 for old Linux version
Ubuntu 20.04 for current Linux version.

I don't know yet how to install the developer libraries for Redhat or Fendora.

The information of the Lunix distributions only says on which system purebasic was compiled.
So the Raspberry versions also run on other Linux Arm systems. For example, on a Linux Arm VM on a macOS with M1/M2 processor.

mk-soft, AZJIO,
thank you for your responses. And what can you say about such a flavor of Linux as qnx ?

mk-soft,
in other words, I can build a project in Linux Mint and it will work in red hat, did I understand you correctly ?
And if I need debugging then I should use either Debian or Ubuntu. For these systems, the operation of the PB is guaranteed. Right ?

Will probably not run on QNX, because the purebasic libraries need linux as a base.

You should also compile it on Redhat to see if the appropriate libraries exist.

If it is compiled on Mint Linux, you should test it on Redhat to see if any libraries are missing for the program.
Unfortunately not all libraries are the same on all Linux distributions. But should be an exception

P.S.
Once again, the target system is missing extended libraries like the webkitgtk2 or movie libraries, which have to be installed on the target system.

mk-soft,

fine. Thank you very much for your response. It's not for movies at all. It is possible that I don't even need an interface, but only a console. I was wondering how PB is doing with exotic versions of LInux. You understand that this is a specialized, custom, unpopular micro operating system among ordinary users (like fedora).
