Running Simba Natively

[HarryJames]

Not sure where this should go.
I didn't see a proper place to put it in /Simba/

I tried running it from this download (http://www.moparisthebest.com/downloads/simba/stable/current/)!
What's happening?

[HarryJames]

Thought I'd make a new post as a fix;
I downloaded it from this link (http://www.moparisthebest.com/downloads/simba/stable/) (From the /stable/ folder, and it worked!).

Editings!: Well, it loaded but I cannot get a working SRL extension.
I'll try copying it over from a Wine Installation.

PascalScript isn't cross-platform. Mopar's nightly builds don't address that problem, I don't think? Never actually looked at it.

C++ is cross-platform though.

PascalScript IS cross-platform, Just some of its functionality doesn't work in Linux.

Well then it's just not cross-platform enough for me.

I can't get the SRL plugin to load, as the Updater can't compile.
I'm gonna start writing a script now, so I'll have to check later :)

Yeah, the extensions don't compile / work. Another issue what I experience (and will look into soon) is the code hints making Simba on Linux freeze for some time. Mopars latest builds don't work because he hasn't updated his lazarus on his build machine. I can build a few new ones. I'll do it with 0.97-rc2.

Your point being? That we should all go to a language with nasty syntax, no memory management, no safeties from a scripted language because we want to control a few function calls to macro a colour game?
