I am probably wrong, but when I unpack the tarball and read the install information It appears that PB 6.0 for ARM64 is designed to only work on Ubuntu.
Since the Debian based Raspian OS is the most commonly used OS for Raspberry PI, I guess PB 6.0 for ARM64 does install there.
Unfortunately Raspian does not work well on my PI 4B, but Manjaro for ARM64 works on the PI 4B just like it does on a high end desktop. So, does anyone here have any experience or information about the possibility of running PB 6.0 on Manjaro.
Any information or pointers would be welcome.
Dave
Install PB on Manjaro
Re: Install PB on Manjaro
although I only fire-up my pi4 once a month for updates, raspian64 works without any problems but I have not tried to run PB, what problems do you have?
Re: Install PB on Manjaro
For me, the Raspberry Pi OS with desktop [64-bit] works very well on my Raspberry PI4 Model B.
And Purebasic also runs on my Raspberry.
PureBasic for Raspberry is available for Arm 32-bit and Arm 64-bit.
But it also runs on others like Ubuntu 20.04 (Arm64)
(And under Parallels on a macOS with M1)

Re: Install PB on Manjaro
Hi Jack,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I heve several issues with Debian Rasputin, but the main ones are:
Mouse and keyboard delay/stutter make Debian unusable. Manjaro (same hardware) mouse and keyboard functionality is smooth as silk, just as I would expect on a high end desktop box.
I really don't want this to become a "red herring" debate about the pros & cons of one OS v another, I just want to be able to use PB 6.0 on my PI 4B without "fighting" the OS. My main interest is to use PB to access the Pigpiod library.

Re: Install PB on Manjaro
Hi mk-soft,
You and your many code examples have been a fantastic help to me over the years, for which I thank you.
I am very pleased that Raspian OS works for you, but for me it is a 100% total bust, to the pint that I am just about ready to "bin" the PI.
Obviously there is something different in our respective environments, but that doesn't explain or resolve the reason why Manjaro and Raspian behave such extremely different ways in exactly the same environment.
Regards Dave

Re: Install PB on Manjaro
I once installed Manjaro on my PI 400.
Then unpacked Purebasic for Raspberry (Arm64) and started it. It runs.
Because I have no experience with package manager "PACMAN", which packages I have to install, I installed all "base-devel".

For the WebGadget and the OpenGLGadget I installed the following packages.sudo pacman -S base-devel
After that, so far the examples of Purebasic ran.sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
sudo pacman -S glfw-x11
sudo pacman -S glu

Re: Install PB on Manjaro
I am again indebted to you. Following your steps I had a couple of false starts, but now I have PB 6.0 working under Manjaro on my PI.
There are still some things that I have to sort out, but they are related to configuring the OS rather than PB, so I will go and harass the folks in the Manjaro forums.
Thanks & Regards
Dave
