Q4OS trinity and BaCon

[aurel]

hello Peter and all others!

thanks for recent account on basic4all
downloaded deb binary you posted here on forum
and seems that BaCon work ...but bacon and bacongui-gtk i cannot run
then use it with terminal only ?
why is that ?

i download flex
i checked recent gtk and all seems fine
but Q4OS simply not respond ...
Is that because of Trinity it is KDE fork or because of something else?

Peter ..you really need to add more info about how to install Bacon for
linux newbies or former windows users !

what i get is here on shot :

[aurel]

Ahh Ok
I download now i guess source versionn from main site and
follow instructions and seems that after make something is in building

Hi Aurel,

Actually, I have never heard of Q4OS ever before. In fact, there are so many operating systems and Linux distros, it is hard to maintain documentation for everything

The editors come in a version for FLTK and a version for GTK. Obviously, your Q4OS needs to have such toolkit installed, otherwise the editors will not run. The name "Q4OS" sounds like it is based on the Qt4-toolkit. Then it would be no wonder why the native editors do not work.

Fortunately, you do not need to use them. Because you can use gVIM as well, or Geany, or even the plain Gnome editor. For all these editors we have syntax highlighting definitions available.

And if you want, you can use the plain shell: the 'bacon -e <yourfile.bac>' command will start an editor right in the shell.

Also please note that the source package contains a README file with instructions.

HTH
Peter

Hi Peter

Yes Q4OS is a debian based KDE Trinity desktop OS
well i like old KDE so install it ..it is kind of lazy on my old computer
but work.

I already do this :

sudo apt install libgtksourceview-3.0-1

and voila....double-click on bacongui-gtk i get this simple code editor
on first look ..very Gnome look..i like it.
there is simple settings...well not bad
only keywords require caps ...maybe i need to turn auto-indent ?

Hi Peter

I am finally glad that something work on Linux
dont get me wrong ..i am Windoz user
ok i use this KDE OS because i like KTechLab which is KDE app

however you may expect lot of questions

I copy/paste in baconGTK editor old example i found here on forum
about simple Progressbar...i figured that i need HUG for that example
OK
i copy and paste and save HUG.bac...at first editor wont save it properly as
.bac file ..it looks like annoying thing.

OK
then i figure that i need to type
HUG.bac in SaveDialog ..ahhh
// this should be fixed //

then of course i click Convert
then even i can "compile" HUG...

do i really need that ? or i made mistake ?

OK


then i try convert ProgressBar,bac
and i receive this error ?
what i am doing wrong ?

[Pjot]

Hi Aurel,

If your program and the HUG include file are in the same directory, you have to tell the editor as well.

This can be accomplished by setting the "tmp" directory to the current directory "." (see screenshot).

Hope this helps,
Peter

ahh yes Peter i see that editor constantly pushing me to tmp folder
ok
i will setup current directory as main.

Hi Peter

I set folder path properly then convert toolbox complain that HUG.bac is not
there but it is ...then i add it into Conversion toolbox inside include textbox
and when i click Convert i receive message about C include without -i option
that is not found ... ?
I have complete KDevelop installed so i suppose that C compiler is there
do i have right ?

or i need different compiler ?

[aurel]

here is how look that sys error

[Pjot]

Hi Aurel,

Well, I downloaded and ran Q4OS in a VM, but after installing BaCon it all works for me (see screenshot). So, not sure where you get that error from, unfortunately I cannot reproduce it...

Can you open a console and execute bacon from there? That should provide more information.

So as follows:

# bacon ProgressBar.bac


Please post the output on this forum.

Thanks,

Peter

so as you can see even worst ...

[aurel]

Peter ..do i need to have
inside INCLUDE files -> hug.bac
