 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi @Plasmamac, I fear you are asking too much and offering too little (information). How about you start by telling us: - What platform you are compiling on. - What compiler version you are using. - What you've already tried, and what the results were (with screen shots or console dumps). And "yes", I did build it successfully on Linux about 6 months ago but I have neither time nor inclination to write a tutorial or make a video, sorry 😐.

Hello Plasma, take a look here: https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=16130&PID=207700#207700#207723 This was my successful attempt a few days ago, but it should get you there.

The biggest challenge is getting the tool chain setup properly for the Pico. I am using Visual Studio with PlatformIO to build the code. Try this: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-windows-installer/ Once you get the tool chain setup and working... You may need some coaching to get the code base pulled into PlatformIO and the various options setup so it compiles. (CMake has to be activated and the various little icons are very cryptic to get things done.) |

So use this link to download and install the Pico tool chain. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-windows-installer/ Then bring up Visual Studio and make sure the PlatformIO IDE is installed. Then install the CMake extensions to Visual Studio. At that point you are ready to pull in the MMBasic source tree and compile it. |

I managed a few years ago. I started with https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-windows-installer/ I think that was the link. Edit: Yes that's the version I used. It works best with a clean install of all components. It was for a couple of SDK versions ago and I had difficulties when it came to updating the SDK. I never managed to win with the WEBmite version. I hope I can avoid going there again. My dislike for tool-chains was caused by playing with Arduino and the dislike has remained. Jim Edited 2024-10-04 07:04 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

This Youtube Video helped me get everything correct. It's probably using older versions of everything now, but the instructions would still be relevant John |
