<Solved> QB64PE 4.3.1 can't compile itself anymore.

[Fifi]

Hello,

when loading qb64pe.bas into QB64PE 3.4.1, there is an error message in the IDE saying :

Name already in use (DECLARE) on line 3911 (click here or Ctrl+Shift+G to jump there)
caused by (or after): A$ = "Expected SUB/FUNCTION definition or END", 39 DECLARE " : GoTo errmess",13

Can anyone help me to fix that?

TIA for your help.

Cheers.

Sounds like you've been modifying qb64.bas for a personal version.  I dunno what the surrounding code looks like where the error is that you're seeing, but I doubt your source matches mine.


As you can see, 3911 is nothing more than an END IF statement in the version of QB64 that I'm currently looking at.  You'll need to share a little more surrounding code to help pin-point any issue that there might be, or use CTRL-Z to undo whatever changes you made until the issue goes away, to help you zoom in on whatever the problem is.

Hi SMcNeill,
Nope, I swear, I didn't change any simple bite of any file of the project.
May be it's a damaged download file, but I doubt about that since the regular installation went fine (3 or 4 weeks ago).
I'll redo a download a little bit later and will let you know.
BTW, my current qb64pe.bas file has the following sha256 value computed with QuickHash v3.3.1 on my iMac under High Sierra: E703C54D33C3E4A438A58D270906F65135702086C1F0140789826F041583F1F1

Update: I re downloaded the project and I don't have the problem anymore.
Then, the good sha256 value is: 410E93882F13ABA9A05690D3CC52BCEAE213BE06C4547DD6EBBF3BB8666F03C6
And qb64pe well compiles itself again.

Cheers.
