Installation
Installing Euphoria and EuGTK on Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian.
Follow the links on the Downloads page to download:
- EuGTK
- Arm binary for manual installation
- Wee
Download the latest EuGTK, and click on the tar.gz file, read the important note, then drag the demos folder into your home folder. You'll now have a /home/pi/demos folder.
Download euphoria-4.1.0-ARMv6-hardfloat-5.tar.gz Click on it, and extract to, let's say, your home folder.
Go to your home folder, and open a terminal to copy some files:
Confirm that eui is installed
Type eui at the command line:
(So far, so good!)
Replace /usr/bin/eu.cfg with the following: (will probably have to use sudo nano to do this)
Check that it works
Should take a few seconds, and then show a nice window with info about GTK, EuGTK, current platform, etc.
Install WEE
Download WEE-master.zip.
Use archiver to extract to /home/pi (or /home/your_user_name)
Associate .ex files
- Use file manager to navigate to /demos
- Right-click on test0.ex
- Select Properties from the popup window
- Select Open With -> Customize
- Click on Custom Command Line
- Enter eui as Command line to execute:
- Enter Euphoria as the Application name
- Click OK
Double click on an .ex program to see if it works.
Notes
The Raspberry Pi 3 is a bit slow, so binding your Euphoria programs is helpful. Especially WEE and other programs you will use frequently.
Translating and compiling large EuGTK programs on the Pi is also rather slow, so you may prefer to cross-compile on a full-size PC, and then copy the executable to the Pi.
