Installation

Installing Euphoria and EuGTK on Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian:

Follow the links on the Euphoria 4.1.0 Beta2 page to download Euphoria 4.1 beta 2 arm binary for manual installation

Download the editor: WEE-master.zip.
Use archiver to extract to /home/pi (or /home/your_user_name)

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 (or /home/<yourname>/demos)

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 In a terminal, type:

Should take a few seconds, and then show a nice window with info about GTK, EuGTK, current platform, etc.

Associate .ex files

• Use file manager to navigate to /demos
• Right-click on test0.ex or one of the other test*.ex files
• 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

---

When using the or plugins on Pi with Raspbian, you'll need to edit the tops of those files to indicate the location of the libraries:

For .plugin:

object sourceviews = dir("/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libgtksourceview-3*")

For .plugin:

object webkits = dir("/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libwebkit2gtk-3*")

(You can use version -4 of these two libraries if you have them available.)

If you are going to write your own GUI programs with EuGTK, you will need the GTK3 Docs.

I have found it works best to extract the gtk3-html-3....tar.gz folder to my home folder (/home/pi) and rename the folder to just plain gtk3. That makes the docs easier to find.

You may also want to edit /demos/bear/bear.ex line 10 to point to your gtk3 docs. eu_help_path = "/home/pi/gtk3" should work.

---

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.
