k. so im trying out Puppy Linux. so far i really like it. once i was able to actually burn the ISO while leaving the session open i was up and rolling pretty easily. i have tried, a mutisession Live CD, a Live CD using a USB drive to store everything, and QEMUPuppy that runs inside of windows. Puppy has a gcc distro so im hopeful all the pieces are there to be able to run BMAX.
now to the big question, i have extracted the blitzmax112 directory to /root/my-applications/BlitzMax112 and i can see the files. how in the world do you actually _run_ MaxIDE? man linux really makes me feel stupid sometimes :) i have tried from a command prompt:
MaxIDE
exec MaxIDE
run MaxIDE
exec appears to be a command, run does not. double-clicking opens it up in beaver. whats the trick?
thx :)
on a side note, if i manage to get all this up and running i hope to write up a doc on how i did it. from what ive read, there are a lot of folks just looking for a way to compile on linux but use Win or Mac for their main dev work. a Live-CD type system like Puppy appears to be the way to go if all falls in place and it actually works...
