Latest version: 0.7.2 Release date: 10th February 2017 Status: IUP now works on Linux.
Source code: Incuded. No other tools are required to modify and rebuild Phix.
On Linux simply unpack either of the above to $HOME/phix
Regarding the one line of Linux instructions, I think Pete might have meant "unpack both of the above to $HOME/phix. At any rate that is what I did on my Ubuntu 16.04 LNX 64-bit system.
ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ls bench Listdir.bat pcore.e pe32.fmt p.exw phix pltype.e profile.e ptok.e test builtins Listdir.reg pcross.ico peama.ew p.fmt phixzip.bat pmain.e psched.e pttree.e copyright.txt ok.ico pdebug.e pEmit2.e pgets0.ew pilasm.e pmsgs.e psym.e pw.exe demo p2asm.e pdemo.exw pemit.e pglobals.e pilx86.e pops.e pth.exw readme.txt docs pbinary.e pdiag.e perror.ew pgui.exw plist.e ppw.bat ptick.ico sfx
I made phix and pw.exe executable files. My attempts to execute them failed:
ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./phix -bash: ./phix: No such file or directory ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./pw.exe -bash: ./pw.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$
I suspected that the download files were windows specific and that I might have to recompile for Linux. I was encouraged by the bold assertions:
No other tools are required to modify and rebuild Phix... To recompile Phix itself, simply run "p -cp"."
No Joy:
ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ p -cp p: command not found ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./p -cp -bash: ./p: No such file or directory ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$
I suspect that a Linux installation requires more than simply unpacking files into to $HOME/phix.
