hbasic-userinfo — Info for Users of the HBasic language

[Hbasic-userinfo] I got it working!! :)

[misfit-x <mis...@ph...>]

I almost gave up... but I had some ideas and tried again. I obtained
different QT libraries (qt-3.2.3-8 and qt-devel-3.2.3-.02 I think it
was) plus the latest lcms library and installed those rpms. Then I still
had problems with the libmt-qt. So, I had to do this:

# export QTDIR=$QTDIR:/usr/lib/qt3

After that, you also have to do this (as root):

# cd /usr/lib/qt3/lib
# ln -s libqt-mt.so.3.2.3 libqt-mt.so

Then it will work. This should affect only those who are upgrading from
an earlier version of qt (like 3.1, like I was). It might also solve
other qt application compile problems.

Hope this helped! And thanks to the author of this program for creating
it. It got me WAAAAY too curious to give it up after all. Glad it's now
working. I can run a program in interpretor and also compile it.

[Hbasic-userinfo] HBasic problems

[Tomas E. i F. <tom...@wa...>]

Hi!
First, please, excuse my english

Just when I've decided to develop programs using VB I discovered HBasic.
I like very much the idea, and I tried to download it, but I encountered
some problems. I've dowloaded the rpm file from SourceForge, but when I
tried to install it I've seen an error message:
"unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/local/hbasic/err_html/images/help_compiler.png; 400d2c7a: cpio:read
failed-Bad file descriptor"

Could anyone explain me where's the problem?
Many thanks

Hi,

I am sure that this question has been posed many times before,
unfortunately, the archive of all the previous messages no longer works on
sourceforge.

Q: How good is HBasic?  I use VB6 to write apps.  I'd love to be able to
write apps for Linux using my existing skill-set.  How hard will it be to
migrate my skills to HBasic?  Any help/suggestions/advice people can give?
Also, I guess there is no way to port existing apps to Linux?

Hi "."

Hmmmm interesting mail you sent to the list. I'll answer this but I'm sure it will cause alot of angry faces what you sent. You just qualified yourself as unqualified because:

1. you have no subject line in your mail, that's the least you can do
2. You have no sender name (nobody likes to talk with a dot)
3. You asked for what is already available on the website http://hbasic.sf.net: Information - just read. People won't tell you anything else than what's at the website. Why should anybody repeat what's already written?

Highly impolite ... what do you think? I'm pretty sure anybody else will ignore your post. Remember it for your next questions: 1st read then ask. This is no company where bored sales personnel writes a thousand times what's already written just to get over the work hours. 

Developers and support guys of open source software spend their (already short) sparetime here and so you need to spend at least a bit of your time and read to show your interest and appreciation. Nobody will feed the knowledge directly into your brain, it requires your own activity first hand. 

If you ask for a specific problem you have with HBasic in a week or so, I'm very very sure everybody yells "here" to help you out :o).

There is a howto somewhere about the topic: How to ask questions .... was it on ESR's page? ... lol ... yeah, here it is: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

On the HBasic web page at hbasic.sourceforge.net, you should update this 
sentence that now reads:

to

I solved this one myself. Just get GTK+2.2.4 SOURCES (not the rpm or anything), 
and compile with these flags. Here's how I did it:

1. remove the old version of gtk (rpm -e --force --nodeps gtk+-2.2.1 for
   example or whatever will remove just that. Don't remove any other gtk+
   packages!!)

2. mkdir /opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4

3. Compile and install the new gtk+-2.2.4 sources using:
   # ./configure --eprefix=/opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4 --prefix=/opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4
   # make
   # su
   (type in your root password)
   # make install

4. Next (still as root), edit /etc/ld.so.conf in a text editor and add the
   following line:
 
   /opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4/lib

5. Still as root:

   # /sbin/ldconfig

NOTE: If you compile other apps that use GTK+ you might get an error about
PKG_CONFIG_PATH not pointing to gtk+-2.0.pc. Do the following to fix that:

# locate gtk+-2.0.pc  (take note of the path here)
# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=(path noted above w/o the *.pc filename included)

I know Gimp wants freetype libraries newer than what RH9 has but I didn't install
them because it messes with XWindows on my system - the font path in the config
gets blitzed. :( Gimp 1.3.23 and Gimp 2.0pre1 both work ok anyway without further
packages added other than compiling/installing GTK+2.2.4. If you do like above,
it should work ok. Don't know about tablet though because I don't have an art
tablet or anything, just mouse.

[Hbasic-userinfo] Sorry, I have to give up now.

[misfit-x <mis...@ph...>]

I've tried and tried. It's been I think... one day or two is it? I
usually give up if I can't do anything more. I doubt I can spend much
more time on this. It's a great idea. Just won't work on *my* computer -
not the fault of the developer 'cause sometimes those things happen.

I installed the new QT libraries and it said couldn't find the libqt-mt
(-lqt-mt). I checked and I DID have them installed, and listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf - I even did a ldconfig to be sure. Nothing works. :(

If I use the RPMs after installing the new QT and libaraies, devel rpm,
too, then if I try to compile a program the linker crashes saying it
couldn't link and exited with !=0.

I'm not really up to trying to get this to work any further. I have a
dial-up connection and also pretty much just starting so I just don't
want to mess with installing/uninstalling main libraries and stuff
anymore, or taking several hours to download updates to new libraries.

I'll try to learn C++ I guess. But I hope this doesn't discourage the
developer from continuing. While I might not be able to get it working,
I'm seeing others can and they'd probably be more help than I would with
this project anyway. 

Thanks for the help anyway. Sorry it didn't work out for me, but I'll
work with C++ now and see if I can learn that.

Hi,

I think the problem should be your version of the Qt library. It looks =
like
you are using Qt 3.1.*. Starting with version Qt 3.2 the parameter for =
the
removeDatabase function has changed. The function using a QString =
parameter
has become obsolete. Since Qt 3.2 is available since several months now =
I
have decided to use the new version of the Qt library with version =
0.9.9h.
This means Qt >=3D 3.2 has become a prerequisite. This might also be =
the
reason for your other problem.

Please try to find a newer Qt version for your distribution and try =
again.

Re: [Hbasic-userinfo] New package of 0.9.9h

I tried the RPM package 0.9.9h2 and it again exited with this error:

/usr/bin/hbasic: relocation error: /usr/bin/hbasic: undefined symbol: _ZN8QToolBoxC1EP7QWidgetPKcj

I tried compiling the sources in 0.9.9h2 (it untarred fine), and got
through the configure part ok, but the make exits with this:

It wouldn't matter which 'configure' file I used (either the one
that is in the sources or the one in the .bz2), or whether or not I
compiled with --with-kdesupport - I tried it either way with both
configure files (doing a make clean in between to be sure I'm starting
from scratch). 

Still can't get it running one way or another, unfortunately. :(

Second release of 0.9.9h. The sourcecode tarfile I have published 
yesterday was corrupted and the rpm package which I have compiled with

I have therefore created a new rpm package without KDE support. If you

[Hbasic-userinfo] QT Speech features in HBasic ?

[nn <he...@to...>]

Hi All,
i found an interesting publication on Trolltech.
http://www.trolltech.com/newsroom/announcements/00000028.html

Matthias Ettrich, a senior software engineer at Trolltech
and the founder of KDE, elaborates: "When ViaVoice is integrated
with Qt, it will be possible to control Qt-based Linux desktop
applications with speech input that is as simple as -- if not
more simple than -- keyboard input. Developers can build
speech-capability into the structure of their application
from the beginning."

Seems there might be a possibility to implement
Voice-recognition and/or Text2Speech features
to HBasic via QT.
Is this possible or only my fantasy ?
Whats the lists opinion on this ?
regards juergen

I assume you mean release 0.9.9h? I got the rpms (am downloading the
sources from another mirror site right now). I installed the rpm of
0.9.9h though (after uninstalling the previous version) and I popped a
term (as user, not root) and ran /usr/bin/hbasic. It didn't run at all.
It said this:

I tried the new configure and it worked ok... But when I run make, I get this:

make -C autocheck
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user01/work/HBasic/HBasic-0.9.9g_Source/autocheck'

make[1]: *** [autocheck] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user01/work/HBasic/HBasic-0.9.9g_Source/autocheck'
make: *** [autocheck/autocheck] Error 2

Note that I'm trying the 0.9.9g from source in this.

I haven't attempted to compile the 0.9.9h version because I can't seem to download a
non-corrupted tarball. I tried aeleron (twice) and cesnet (once) after clearing the mozilla
cache each time before downloading, and I still get errors when untarring I get that it
reached an unexpected end of file. I tried a couple other mirrors (easynews and unc) and
there was a 404 so I guess it didn't get to all the mirrors yet.

I'm attaching my config.log if that will help. I'm not at all familiar with Linux/C++ programming
or makefiles, etc. yet so I'm not able to diagnose this myself, unfortunately. 

Do I need other packages (and where to find them)? Am I going about something the wrong
way? Do I have something that needs upgrading? I'm not sure on any of that. Hopefully
something can be worked out. I'm one of those that just *has* to figure things out if it's
broken :) Until I get too frustrated but I'm not about to give up just yet. :)

[Hbasic-userinfo] Is 0.9.9h OK or is it me?

[misfit-x <mis...@ph...>]

I downloaded (twice now) the sources for 0.9.9h and both times the
archive seems corrupted. I get this when I go to tar -xvzf:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Running ./configure gives me this:

configure: error: cannot find sources (src/mainwindow.cpp ) in . or ..

And sure enough, There's no directory named "src". Is it me or is there
something not quite right with the archive. I will try one more time to
download it (I do clear my Mozilla cache before I download, just in
case, both times now). But I'm wondering if it's that it got corrupted
on the server. I've had this happen with stuff I've uploaded before to
different servers so I know it can be possible, even if the archive
itself was fine when it was created.

Can someone let me know if they were able to d/l and untar it ok? Thx...

Different updates in database explorer. Some of them (for example the 
table editor) are not yet stable but I wanted to publish a new version 
of HBasic after some weeks.
- Database explorer can show sublists for different structures like 
databases on a server, tables of a database etc. in the subwindow on the 
right side.
- Postgres databases will be displayed with schema information
- Postgres database may display and start predefined views
- Database design may be edited in database explorer
- Display and edit global database definitions and project databases
- Global definitions may be saved and reloaded default will be loaded on 
startup
- Different predefined administration views have been added
- New functions Rename table / Drop table Empty table
- Table editor for simple column and index editing has been inserted again
- Updates in table contents editor
- Updates in sql command editor
- result of execution (Error message) will be displayed in listview
- Command reference for common MySQL and Postgres commands
- fields in SQL commands will be replaced with user input when starting 
command execution. Try executing SQL commands like "select * from @table 
name@"
- Integration of mysqlcc is now version 0.9.4 Basic may access sql

AW: [Hbasic-userinfo] Problems Compiling

[Engels, M. <Mar...@SP...>]

Hi,

there seems to be a problem with the rpm package of the last version =
and I
will try to fix that with the next release.=20

The reason for the dependancy of the libmysql library is the MySQLCC
extension that I have added with the last version. I just copied the =
checks
for the configure script from the mysqlcc project. The lib*.a file =
should be
the static client library. If your distribution only supports the =
shared
library lib*.so it may be a problem to compile HBasic with MySQLCC =
support.
I will think about how to solve this problem but it should still be =
possible
to compile HBasic without mysqlcc support. I have appended a new =
configure
script which should not abort if the library libmysqlclient.a could not =
be
found on your computer. I hope this will help you to compile HBasic =
from
source.

Betreff: [Hbasic-userinfo] Problems Compiling


I'm having problems compiling. I've emailed the author before I figured
out how to join this list (and I see he sees/posts here too). I'll
outline my problem here though as well, but not in as full detail as I
did in my email to the author as I probably overdid it on info that
probably wasn't necessary. ?

I've downloaded both the RPM and the source tarball for HBasic last
night. Today I installed the rpm but found that while running it as a
user, a dialog popped up and said it couldn't write an error message to
a temporary file. I click OK and the IDE comes up. I click on the "Push
Button" Icon in the left toolbar and Hbasic immediately exits without
any further warning. This is repeatable.

I tried compiling the source, wondering if it would be better and found
it complained of no libmysqlclient.a. I have a few libmysqlclient.*
files on my system but not ending with the ".a" extension. I decided to
upgrade from MySQL 3.23 (which comes with the RH9 distro I use) to =
MySQL
4.1. After such, I still get the same warnings. I have the server,
client, devel, and compatible libraries installed. To be exact:

php-mysql-4.2.2-17
mod_auth_mysql-1.11-12
MySQL-server-4.0.17-0
MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.17-0
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
MySQL-client-4.0.17-0
MySQL-devel-4.0.17-0

So I had the idea to pop a root term and try running hbasic from the
shell prompt (from the rpm installation, since I couldn't get past
./configure with the sources).  When I did this, it complained of an
undefined symbol called "_ZNK9QCheckBox9hitButtonERK6QPoint". After
trying to put a pushbutton on the form again, it again exited suddenly
and I found a "reallocation error" at the shell prompt citing the same
undefined symbol.

Does anyone know of a fix for this or how I can get the program to
compile from source code?

I'm a (former) Visual Basic 3/5/6 programmer and would like to convert
some of my code to Linux until I can learn C++ and convert some of my
stuff to that format. I like what I did get to see of HBasic from the
site and screen shots. Would love to get this running on my system.

Thanks for any help anyone can give...

a temporary file. I click OK and the IDE comes up. I click on the "Push
Button" Icon in the left toolbar and Hbasic immediately exits without
any further warning. This is repeatable.

I tried compiling the source, wondering if it would be better and found
it complained of no libmysqlclient.a. I have a few libmysqlclient.*
files on my system but not ending with the ".a" extension. I decided to
upgrade from MySQL 3.23 (which comes with the RH9 distro I use) to MySQL
4.1. After such, I still get the same warnings. I have the server,
client, devel, and compatible libraries installed. To be exact:

php-mysql-4.2.2-17
mod_auth_mysql-1.11-12
MySQL-server-4.0.17-0
MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.17-0
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
MySQL-client-4.0.17-0
MySQL-devel-4.0.17-0

So I had the idea to pop a root term and try running hbasic from the
shell prompt (from the rpm installation, since I couldn't get past
./configure with the sources).  When I did this, it complained of an
undefined symbol called "_ZNK9QCheckBox9hitButtonERK6QPoint". After
trying to put a pushbutton on the form again, it again exited suddenly
and I found a "reallocation error" at the shell prompt citing the same
undefined symbol.

Does anyone know of a fix for this or how I can get the program to
compile from source code?

I'm a (former) Visual Basic 3/5/6 programmer and would like to convert
some of my code to Linux until I can learn C++ and convert some of my
stuff to that format. I like what I did get to see of HBasic from the
site and screen shots. Would love to get this running on my system.

Thanks for any help anyone can give...

Ok, I figured out how to join the list now. Sorry about the other
message. :) The link on the HBasic site just created an email to the
list, but isn't to the subscribe page for the list. So that is how the
previous message from me ended up here wondering how to join. I had
assumed an autoresponder was going to mail me back subscription
information (which never happened, as it wasn't set up that way).

Hello Danilo,

your program is correct. The problem was that I haven't yet implemented =
the
comparison operators for strings. I have appended a new version of the =
file
runtime_lib/rt_operations.cpp which handles this functions in the
interpreter. Replace the old file rt_operations with this new one, =
start
"make" and "make install" again and restart your program. I think this =
new
version should solve the problem. Otherwise this will be in the next =
version
of HBasic.

Marcus

Betreff: [Hbasic-userinfo] IF - String


I have a program, with the code:

sub button1_clicked()

if lineedit1.text =3D "OI" then
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0print "OIII"
end if

end sub

When I try to run this program, it returns with the problem:
Operator not allowed for this type of values.

In the documentation it says that I just can use integers with IF,
=A0How can I make a verification with strings ?

Thanks and
Sorry by poor english,
I'm from Brasil .
