Hello,

when I run PCBASIC 2.0.3 in command line under linux, I get an error: WARNING: Smooth scaling not available: sdlgfx extension not found. I don't know if this is a bug. Thanks for the answer.

Hi, that warning just indicates the sdl2_gfx library was not found (https://www.ferzkopp.net/wordpress/2016/01/02/sdl_gfx-sdl2_gfx/). It's not a problem, it just means you won't be able to use the scaling=smooth setting.

Not sure which Linux distribution you use or how you installed PC-BASIC, but probably best to try and install that library through your package manager, if available, or download the source tarball from the site linked above and compile.

By the way, to remove the warning on the command line, it should not show if you choose a different scaling setting, e.g. pcbasic --scaling=crisp

Problem solved: I had not installed the SDL2 library. Thanks
