I hope it is OK to start a new thread dealing with "installing and setting up" BaCon, HUG, GLADE, and GLUT.

The original thread has much more about development and use and I'm just not there yet.

Here is the info from my eee PC 900:
Linux puppypc 2.6.35.7 (puppeee 4.4 Beta 5)
BaCon version 1.0 build 19 - BASH - (c) Peter van Eerten - GPL v3.
gcc (GCC) 4.2.2
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (i486-t2-linux-gnu)
GTK-2.0

I have BaCon up and running as a bash script and can compile and run most of the "Test Programs" with some slight modifications.

When I try a HUG example I usually get:
ERROR: could not parse line 201 in file 'hug.bac'!
which equates to:
gtk_init(0, 0) or other gtk commands.

I am just guessing that maybe my version of GTK isn't quite up to speed for all GUI work I want to do. I read the other thread and didn't see anything specific to that, and with BaCon compiling the Test Programs I didn't think it was a BASH 4.0+ problem.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm a quick learner once I have the right tools and I would like to rewrite some of the gtk-dialog programs I've done recently.

Thanks,

Do you have BASH 4? I think the command is

Code: Select all

bash --version

I don't know, I think that would only cause it to fail during the compilation stage, but it's failing during conversion. Have you tried compiling bacon.bac and using that instead?

Code: Select all

bash bacon.bash bacon.bac

Note: if bacon.bac fails to compile, you can use Barry's pet package:

Hey afishe2000

you will need to upgrade bash to 4

then this script will get and keep things updated this is the latest beta HUG
this will take about 5 minutes fully automatic
good to see that your are interested in bacon

*you can manually add GLADE, and GLUT. to this script

Continuing saga,

I've downloaded BASH4, compiled and have it up and running:

# bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.1.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>

I download and ran the .pet for BaCon and have the latest version

# /usr/bin/bacon -v
BaCon version 1.0 build 20 - (c) Peter van Eerten - GPL v3.

BaCon is integrated into Geany and for now I'm just using filetype.FreeBasic for syntax highlighting.

The HUG programs will compile without errors.

I'm using the Password Manager program as my test1.bac.

When I try:

# ./test1
ERROR: signal for SEGMENTATION FAULT received - memory invalid or array out of bounds? Try to compile the program with TRAP LOCAL to find the cause.

I assume the TRAP LOCAL is an option for gcc and not BaCon?

I haven't done any command line compiling in probably two decades so my memory is pretty fuzzy on all of this. Everyone's help is very appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

Are you downloading the code or copy/pasting?

I have had problems (similar to yours), because I was copying the code from the website and then pasting it into a text file.

From what I can tell, the problem is a webkit issue. Somehow the spaces are not recognized as characters. I don't have the issue using a mozilla browser.

Try this. Download Peter's file-fetch program.

Code: Select all

wget http://www.basic-converter.org/fetch.bac

Compile this with bacon and then run it. It will download all of the text files from www.basic-converter.org directly, to avoid any issues.

My thread:
http://basic-converter.proboards.com/in ... &thread=48

EDIT: Also, puppeee 4.4 has bash 4 by default in the devx, its just renamed. I think its "bash4"

THANK YOU!

That was it - examples are up and running, extremely cool.

Coding questions to follow, I'm sure...

Dear afishe2000,

Thanks to Peter, Joe, 2lss, piratesmack and a few others, you are up and running. Great!

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I forgot Doyle and Barry and a few others. No offence intended, ladies and gents. Mea culpa.
