I followed these directions first which you have probably seen:
I Installed QB64 on a RaspberryPi 3 B

I started with installing the library's from the setup_lnx.sh for Debian.
Code: Select all
ls
sudo apt-get install g++ libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-devI then came across this post at the QB64 Forum
http://www.[abandoned, outdated and now likely malicious qb64 dot net website - don’t go there]/forum/index.php?topic=13926.0
That indicated to change and add to top of the file qb64/internal/c/common.h Code: Select all
#define QB64_NOT_X86I then did ./setup_lnx.sh and it took in the order of 10 mins to complete with no errors.
Ran a simple program and it was ok.
This did not work for me at first. It would start to install and then crash after several minutes.
I had installed xfce and it has a panel app that shows CPU use, memory use, and swap use. I could see that when it crashed it had run out of memory and swap space. I then found this link for increasing swap space.
https://www.bitpi.co/2015/02/11/how-to-change-raspberry-pis-swapfile-size-on-rasbian/If you follow these directions you can increase the swap space. The pi above had 1GB of memory, and 100mb of swap as the default. I raised it to 1024MB of swap and it installed for over an hour and then crashed, again out of swap space. I increased the swap space to 2048MB and it installed successfully in a few minutes. If you are not familiar with swap space, it is what the computer uses when it runs out of memory. Basically it is a file on whatever you are using as a harddrive, in my case a 32GB usb stick. It runs slower than memory, but gets the installation done.
