FreeBasic IDE-poseidonFB(Update 2020.07.20)

I tried different iup versions, but no luck! :-)
I agree, that the weak point of installation, is the iup.

My personal opinion is, that today's Linux in not something like DOS used to be.
Linux does not provide any guarantee that the code who successfully compiled at another distribution, can be compiled for you too.
It isn't Poseidon only. It's a general and wider problem-weakness.

I think (although compiling locally is the best approach), virtualization is a worthy alternative path.
Maybe at some point you have to think, if it's a viable solution for Poseidon, providing an AppImage (like avidemux does, for Linux).

THANKS for your help and keep up the excellent work!!! ;-)

I've tested AppImage to pack poseidonFB, I've solved *.ini issue( mount is read only ), but I can't solve the terminal issue while using "Run" and "Quick Run", the error message is:

Code: Select all

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'


(Edit) gnome-terminal issue! I've tried install "mate-terminal" or "lxterminal" and modified "/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator", then "Run" and "Quick Run" are OK~

Ooops!!! It brings me a segfault and aborts. :-(
Oh well...it seems rather complicated after all.

I'm very sorry, I tested at Chakra linux and lubuntu in virtual box, it told me the same segfault message-
I must re-learn the AppImage that how to pack..

New AppImage:
Download at https://bitbucket.org/KuanHsu/poseidonfb/downloads/
Success on openSUSE-Tumbleweed-XFCE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20190723-Media

manjaro-gnome-18.0.4-stable-x86_64

manjaro-kde-18.0.4-stable-x86_64


Because of AppImage is mount to system, so poseidonFB_x64.AppImage will create a /.poseidonFB folder to ~ path, editorSettings.ini will save at /.poseidonFB/settings/

Hi All

Nothing like installing on a new laptop to find all the shortcomings.
Been using Poseidon for some time now and when trying to install it on a new laptop, I simply cannot get it to work.

Using Linux Mint 19.2
Downloaded the latest version and extracted it into poseidonFB_x64
Then downloaded and installed iup
Then downloaded and put the libiup_scintilla.so in /usr/lib
Rebooted and neither the poseidonFB_x64 or the consoleLauncher will launch.

Where are the step by step Linux instructions for installing this. ?

Regards

[srvaldez]

hello Dinosaur
have you tried launching from the terminal?
perhaps that may give us a clue if any error messages are returned.
I hope that I did not offend you by my suggestion.

Hi All

Thanks for your response srvaldez, it turned out to be downloading the wrong iup version.
The instructions in the manual.pdf are a bit vague there.
Anyhow up and running.

Regards
