I have used various 'mites in the past and programmed them using MMedit on Windows with great success. Alas, my Windows machine has carked it so it is now 'retired'. I decided to go cold turkey and use Linux for everything rather than a hybrid environment. Most everything I have is Linux based anyway but Windows was still used for the odd 'essential irreplaceable' application (read: too lazy to change!)

So, I'm setting up a new development machine - Pi4 with latest 64bit Raspberry OS (Buster) etc. MMEdit needs QT5 which after some faffing around, I managed to install the QT5 ecosystem which operates just fine. But running MMEdit from the command line returns:

error while loading shared libraries: libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

From the desktop icon, it spins the hourglass for a while then just stops.

I assume that there is a 32bit vs 64bit misalignment with this .so Is there a solution for this?

TIA.

Cheers,
Mark

Sorry,
I don't have RPi suitable for the 64bit OS so I am not able to produce a 64bit RPi version of MMEdit.

There has been very little interest in the RPi version so I am not willing to spend too much time on it.

Thanks Jim - understand. At least I know not to spend anymore time on it.

Won't the 32-bit version work?

You'd need to make sure all the things it depends on are also present, of course.

Easier with a statically-linked MMEdit (if there is one), I expect.

What I would love to see is an addin for visual studio code, which I use a lot to program with. It would be nice to have the syntax highlighted correctly while using it.

None of the other basics that you can select do justice to the great job Geoff and Peter have done with MM basic.

If they supply the one for any other Basic it might be a good place to start.

Visual BASIC is there.

This is an example of custom colour coding (I think):

It also supports TextMate Grammars for other odd languages. Tht looks rather scary to ne though. lol

I use Notepad++ (on Windows) for program editing with BASIC syntax coloring, and it's (perhaps) available for Linux, just not sure if your particular flavor. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to get it to send code "natively" (in other words, from within the Notepad++ application) to our favorite targets.

Geany is also evidently in the default install package for Raspbian, does syntax coloring (at least for PHP and C), and is highly configurable.

Visual Studio / Visual Code extension / integration (which works great on Linux these days) would be wonderful.
