REALbasic 2005


Posts: 4

Has anyone tried the REALbasic 2005 Linux beta? I'm playing with it now. It is still a "diamond in the rough" but it looks like it has real potential.

As a long-time VB programmer, it is interesting to see a VB-Clone (well, sort of a clone) available for Linux.

Not yet

I just finished playing with Elive so i haven't got to that one yet. Also i just installed mepis on my spare to test how the updates where coming along. I been trying to grab a copy of that super suse for testing, but i haven't located it yet, not sure if it's available.

Yes, I played with it. I was looking for a crossplatform GUI RAD tool and was hoping it would fill the bill. I ran into too many compiler errors, bugs in API classes, etc., while trying to do the sample programs!

I cleaned it off my HD and moved to QT4. QT4 on Linux is awesome. Further, when I move my files (main.cpp, myapp.h, myapp.cpp) from Linux to Windows 2K they compiled perfectly on that OS as well.
