– PureBasic for Linux x86 will be available on the latest Debian (at the time of writing, Debian 10). – PureBasic for Linux 圆4 will be available on the 2 last Ubuntu LTS versions (at the time of writing, it means Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) Starting with PureBasic 6.00, we using the following scheme: To address this, we decided to change way we will support Linux distros. Executable created on it are no more compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 or some other recent distros. The problem is Ubuntu 17.10 was basically only supported for 6 months and then was in support mode for a few more months. For example, the current Linux build servers are running on Ubuntu 17.10 for both 圆4 and x86 because it was the last Ubuntu version handling x86. Up to know, the Linux build servers were upgraded in somewhat chaotic manner, without real rules. and it could prevent PureBasic binaries to run at all. Every distro can have slightly different binary versions of GTK, QT, libc, zlib etc. However, as PureBasic is a closed source software, we can only ship a binary package and it can be sometimes difficult to find the right distro to run your PureBasic programs. Since 20 years, PureBasic runs natively on Linux, using seamlessly specific libraries like GTK, QT, SDL and more.
