Or in Spanish: mi casa es su casa.
The critical frustration in learning any programming language is getting it installed.
I have yet to find the secret sauce for installing IUP.
Here is the challenge for Phix. I would like to get a copy of your install. Here is how it could work:
- get Refracta Linux from www.ibiblio.org/refracta/
- downloads are from SourceForge
- refracta8.3_xfce an .iso of 700MB
- 32 and 64 bit versions are available
- dates to 2017 but gets the job done
- Refracta runs from a USB stick (and in ram)
- install Phix
- I just copied the unzipped files to /home/user/bin
- add p64
- demos are easy to reach, and don't need privilages to run them
- install IUP
- I'm clueless here
- run from the menu
- system/refracta snapshot
- result is a new copy of Refracta that includes Phix that anyone can run off their USB
- upload to github so anyone can access
Exton has a 1GB Linux with this refracta feature — but I had trouble making new files. In theory, the refracta feature could be installed on any Linux system.
The result is the ultimate demo of Phix.
dito ... same should be done for OpenEuphoria.
be well
