BBasic 2.1 into WINUAE how....

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/BBasic 2.1 into WINUAE how....

Okay,

I've been to the http://www.blitz-2000.co.uk/ website, I couldn't find a 'dummys guide' to getting BBasic 2.1 into WINUAE. I've still got my BBasic 2.1 CDs (in the loft... somewhere..)

So here's a challenge, as soon as I post this, I'm off to the loft to try and locate my BBasic 2.1 CD.... can you tell me how to install BBasic2.1 (or AmiBLitz 3...) before I get back from the loft with my BBasic 2.1 CD ?

Well, found my c Copyright ACID software ULTIMATE blitz basic 2.1CD in a box I packed around 5 years ago.... can I access it via WINUAE... ?

well, got BBasic 2.1 runnig but keep experiencing a Library not found $00FC problem when trying to compile - any help appreciated.

regards,

BP.

A snippet of install info I had lying around:


Create a main Blitz Basic Directory on your HD such as:

PROGDIR:Blitz2/

Create the following directories into the above location:

BlitzLibs/
REDHelp/

Edit your S:User-Startup file and add the following assigns:

Assign Blitz2: PROGDIR:Blitz2
Assign Blitzlibs: Blitz2:Blitzlibs

Oh, and check that the Ted.Library has been copied to the LIBS: folder


The only other thing I recall is a "quick compile" option within the TED editor which you can toggle off. That might fix the error message

Thanks very much for this Jim, as we speak/write Blitz 2 is installing from the CD. I am using the updated installer script which I'll list how to find later.

Basically, I used Lemon Amiga tips to install my Workbench properly, then downloaded BLoodywych's Win UAE file.

Had to use the shell tool to extract lha ... still installing.... of to make a coffee(;-)

Kept getting a 'Heavy GUI' error which I kept podging ignore for....

The script keeps crashing on me..... What files do I need within the directory structure you've mentioned for blitz to execute ?

last ditch attempt, am using windows explorer to copy the BLitz2 files.... that failed as well, but copying the whole folder over was fine.

Compiling in BBasic2.1 on a PC....
