Running QB64 v2 InForm Programs on PE

[Magdha]

I think that this request is specifically for @a740g: 

You mentioned in my welcoming thread that I knocked up some InForm programs in v2 (they are in the present InForm archives).

I am wanting to bring my old InForm programs into PE, and I have installed InForm (present download) into the QB64PE route directory.  And InForm runs, and looks just as it always did (as expected).

However, when I load one of my old directories, run InForm and exit to QB64 the program fails C++ compilation.  There are no errors in the QB64PE IDE.

Any suggestions?  Thanks, Richard

I recommend not extracting anything inside the QB64-PE directory. Doing so can help you avoid many issues. I haven't tested building InForm-PE directly from the QB64-PE directory in a long time. It might work, but I am not sure. The README.md file has a recommended setup you can use. Also, I highly suggest enabling "Run > Output EXE to source folder" in the IDE.

If you can share the contents of internal/temp/compilelog.txt from your system, it would help pinpoint the problem. My guess is that your project still includes old InForm runtime files. The older runtime depended on falcon.h, which no longer compiles due to changes in the QB64-PE C++ runtime library. Simply delete those files and replace them with the ones from the InFrom-PE directory. I listed the critical ones in README.md.

@a740g Thanks.  I'm beginning to get things running now & got 1 InForm project working in PE.  I'm still maintaining my old QB64v2 work which causes a bit of a conflict with two separate InForm UIEditors but that's my problem.
