FreeBasic IDE-poseidonFB(Update 2024.03.03)

[Kuan Hsu]

I have installed:

cd-5.14_Linux54_64_lib
im-3.15_Linux54_64_lib
iup-3.30_Linux54_64_lib
for Ubuntu 20.04

all of those packages are at latest release for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

The problem is that the menu bar and icon bar are overlaped because poseidon is been built with old iup libraries and it needs rebuild.

I cant run poseidon with old iup packages and cannot build poseidon is missing instructions...

Please update iup release and release for ubuntu 20.04.

I believe you mean Ubuntu Mate, not Ubuntu 20.04
poseidonFB_x64_rev461.AppImage run on Ubuntu 20.04.2:

Even rebuild the IUP on Ubuntu Mate 18.04/20.04, the issue isn't gone. I've test IUP example code(IupScintillaDlg) and still the same, I think the issue is between IUP and desktop environment that I don't know how to fix.

The only way I found is( Test on Ubuntu Mate 20.04.2 ):
MATE Tweak -> Panel -> Change the user interface to "Contemporary"

Run poseidonFB_x64_rev461.AppImage:

Yes Ubuntu Mate 20.04 LTS has this issue.
The panel tweak fix the problem but i dont like Contemporary panels, so this is not a solution for me.

Is it possible the autocomplete feature to complete words with capitalize the first letter.
for example Print instead print...

[demosthenesk]

I have Ubuntu Mate 20.04.2 LTS and i installed Gnome Desktop.
The problem is still there...

The keyword complete had already supported, Preference -> Editor -> Auto Convert Keyword Case -> Mixedcase. the complete list about keyword will turn to Mixedcase.
If you mean all complete list, I need check my code that it should not be hard......

But the list is show the original word case and paste to document, if I enable all items of list are Mixedcase, they are different from original functions/variables/type....etc name, the sources are more hard to read, so I think I'll still keep the keyword complete enabled only.

I'm 100% sure the issue is about IUP and GTK, so I re-read IUP document, I found:

I insert one line in my code --

Code: Select all

IupSetGlobal( "GLOBALMENU", "NO" )

It's done

Thanks! Make an official release please. I am writing a book for FreeBASIC in Greek and i would like to use and mention poseidonfb as main editor in my book

What is the difference between "Run" button and "Quick run" button.
When i press "Run" i get mate-terminal empty... see screenshot.
When i press "Quick run" i actually run the executable.

How i compile multiple files of a project?
See zip file with a test project, i have 2 files, main.bas and f.bas. In f.bas i have a function. In main.bas i declare the function and use it.
Poseidonfb compiles only main.bas and return an error.

well i found my way....
i have to Build Project and Run...not quick run

Everyones have his coding style, for me, *.bi(includes) just is the file includes declares/defines, no code bodies, so "Build" the project at poseidonFB will pass all *.bas of project to fbc compile except for *bi.

Compile/Quick Run just pass one file(active document) to compiler.

If we want to pass one file to build project, in "Project Properties", set "Pass One File To Compiler" is ON and set the Main file, poseidonFB will pass only main file to fbc while building.

So, in your thread:viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29513&p=284440#p284438
If we create a project and have main.bas and sum.bas, then build project, we got error message:

Code: Select all

error 42: Variable not declared, sum in 'a = sum(1, 2)'

Because the 2 files no any connect.
If we add #include "sum.bas" in main.bas, then build project, we got error message:

Code: Select all

multiple definition of `SUM@8'; D:/Test/main.o:fake:(.text+0x0): first defined here

Because the #include "sum.bas" had combine the 2 files in one file, so the sum() function in main.bas and sum.bas, we pass two files to fbc, multiple definition. So we need "Compile" one main.bas or set the project properties to make sue pass one file to fbc.

My way( or my style ) the project include 3 files, add a sum.bi:

Code: Select all

Declare Function sum( As Integer, As Integer ) As Integer

sum.bas:

Code: Select all

Function sum( a As Integer, b As Integer ) As Integer
Return a + b
End Function

main.bas:

Code: Select all

#include "sum.bi"

Dim a As Integer
a = sum(1, 2)
Print a
Sleep

Then "Build" the project...

[demosthenesk]

yes you are right...
i found it before you post...

one issue only.... if i set up a main.bas file as main file in Project properties it does not work...because it needs the absolute path as i see...

so i cleared this value of main file and create 2 files in project and set main file with right click from tree view of files...

??... Like this? It should no need absolute path...

[demosthenesk]

i set up with "main.bas" and i get this error...
