Thanks, Ken. I appreciate it. I want to do a native Linux version, but my development machine is 64-bit and I'm struggling to build the latest Euphoria from source. Is there a howto that explains step-by-step how to build 64-bit Euphoria? Or better yet, could someone build 64-bit Linux Eubins and post them somewhere?
Pete,
I have been using Euphoria 4.1 Beta under 64-bit Linux. Downloading and building the binaries was a relatively painless process. First, Download the *tar.gz file:
Then extract the files to your root directory - I used xarchiver, but you can extract the files from the command line of any terminal with:
tar -xzv -f euphoria-4.1.0-Linux86-64.tar.gz
Actually, I think the file I have linked includes the binaries, as well as the source code. You will need to edit the eu.cfg files - and your bash .profile file. This is what my .profile looks like under Ubuntu Linux:
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.
# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022
# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
PATH="$HOME/euphoria/bin:$HOME/MENU:$PATH"
EUINC="$HOME/euphoria/include"
EUDIR="$HOME/euphoria"
export PATH EUINC EUDIR
S.D. Pringle came up with a neat work around for several of the environment variables which might come in handy:
public function eudir() sequence eudirectory eudirectory = locate_file( eui, getenv("PATH") ) eudirectory = eudirectory[1..length(eudirectory)-(length(eui)+4)] -- returns /home/kenneth/euphoria/ -- note the trailing slash return eudirectory end function public constant EUDIR = eudir() public constant EUINC = EUDIR & "include" public constant EUBIN = EUDIR & "bin" public constant EUDOCS = EUDIR & "docs" & SLASH & "html" public constant EUDEMO = EUDIR & "demo"
I hope this helps.
Ken
