launching applications (newbie)

Hi hitsware

Where's abelmora when we need him ?

I don't get the reference, but I take it that means this solved your problem.

[hitsware]

scroll down to smallbasic

http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/tcz_2x.html

[tinypoodle]

Those are extensions for 2.x - is that what you are running?

[hitsware]

No ......... I have 'current'
Are some of the apps in the appbrowser maybe bunk ?
Would an earlier version work with them ?
I like this one though .

[Juanito]

if you load smallbasic-gui and type "sbasici" at the command prompt things will work

[hitsware]

Hola Juanito

I get:

sbasici: error while loading shared libraries:
libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open a shared object file:
no such file or directory

[Rich]

Hi hitsware
Try installing  fontconfig.tcz.

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ ldd `which sbasici` | grep local
        libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xf73e3000)
        libexpat.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xf73b0000)
Yep, it needs fontconfig as a dep (I dimly recall that might have been in the base back in the days of tc-2.x)

dep file adjusted

Juanito y todos !Que Bueno! !Gracias!
Works from the app menu.
Would you know what I need to get the (smallbasic)
SOUND command to work ?
BEEP works, but not SOUND for some reason.
Otra vez Gracias
I've been trying a long time to get some kind of
Basic going in Linux.........

Install and configure a sound system?
i.e. alsa or OSS at your choice.

That makes sense. I wonder how the BEEP gets through ?
Thanks !

pc speaker is unrelated to soundcard

Hi hitsware
The  smallbasic-doc.tcz  extension may also be of some use to you. It has many sample files included under:
/usr/local/share/smallbasic/distro-examples/

I downloaded alsa.tcz
results in tce/optional:

alsa.tcz
alsa.tcz.dep
alsa.tcz.md
alsa-conf.tcz
alsa-conf
and 3 ea. alsa-module

in     /opt/bootlocal.sh    (which for some reason doesn't show in Windows?)
I added    /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound  start

terminal:   sudo alsaconf
gives:
'command not found'
