Looking for InForm installer for Windows - GTC - 10-13-2023

Apologies if this is in the wrong section/forum.

I am having trouble finding the InForm installer for Windows. Fellippe Heitor's page here:

https://qb64.com/inform.html says ...

Quote:Download
Please visit the Inform GitHub repo - releases.
... but when I go there I get:

Quote:Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.qb64.org.

So, would someone kindly point me to where I can find the installer for Windows.

The installer that was there for InForm is no longer functional after qb64.org went offline.

If you are looking to use InForm with QB64-PE, then I suggest you look at https://github.com/a740g/InForm-PE
This is a fork of InForm that is designed to work with QB64-PE. You may need to do some manual setup to get it working. Most of the setup is documented in the `README.md` file.

Thanks.

I am way behind the action. I'm using QB64 v1.4

I had installed InForm some years ago:

Quote:': InForm - GUI library for QB64 - Beta version 8
': Fellippe Heitor, 2016-2018 - fellippe@qb64.org - @fellippeheitor
... but never really got around to using it. When I fired it up recently I got a compile time '$INCLUDE error saying that InForm.ui was not found, however that file does exist. Googling around on that error I found a reference from Fellippe saying:

Quote:Beginning with v1.3 of InForm, InForm/InForm.ui has been split into 2 files: InForm/InForm.bi, which must come at the top together with your .frm file include line, and inForm/InForm.ui, which must come at the end of your .bas file.
... so I thought I'd try to find the updated version with InForm.bi, to no avail.

I also received this Editor error:

So I gather I need to update my version of QB to whatever is current. Hopefully that's a straightforward process with a zip file or installer. I'm keen not to break any programs written under v1.4 in the process.

You can use more than one version. Simply install the new version in another directory and create a shortcut on the desktop.

How do I get those files and that folder structure? Do I have to make the folder hierarchy and copy the files individually to it?

I guess I'm used to extracting from a zip file for install operations.

It looks like a740g did have a "Master" zip. I am downloading and checking setup now...
BTW are you on Windows?

Yeah I couldn't figure it out either. It kept telling me it can't find this or that, last thing was something about an e2 something sheez!

I am sticking to vs GUI by that bplus guy Smile all in one self contained folder, simple!

Haiya!

Here is a screenshot that can help you.

Note that file and directory names in Linux & macOS are case-sensitive.

If you build it right, then you will get this:

Update: Oh and please enable Run > Output EXE to Source Folder in the IDE. I wish we did this by default.  Sad

RE: Looking for InForm installer for Windows - GTC - 10-16-2023

OK, done.

There were some compile time warnings about unused variables but I wasn't fast enough to screen shot that.
