Issue installing and running Simple on Ubuntu

[devamaz]

Have issue installing and running Simple on my Ubuntu machine after downloading linx version form sourceforge.io, I try follow the command on the README but no says no file. So I try cloning and follow the README instruction, everything seems to work but if I type simple in the terminal it says command not found. Pls need help on proper installation. Thanks

Hi Ahmad, we're currently working to fix the issue of adding simple to global path. So to use simple, you'll have to be in the directory where simple is installed e.g

$ cd simple/bin & simple

Let me know if that works 👍

After downloading from sourceforge.io what is the next thing for me to do.

[Youngestdev]

I'd advise you download it from the release section.

https://github.com/simple-lang/simple/releases/download/s0.3.302/simple0.3.302-linux.zip

Then follow the readme.

OK thanks I will try this

@Youngestdev ok have download and navigate to the folder with my terminal what next

[Thecarisma]

After executing the >make -f Linux-Build.sh successfully, a folder /s0.3.303-debug will be created at the same level where you clone simple to you can then cd to the s0.3.303-debug/bin/ folder where simple and it deps will be located if the build is successful, if the folder does not exist or is empty you can check your terminal for build error

./simple

you will then have a file heirachy of sort

> simple 
>      ---- build
>      ---- doc
>      ---- src
> s0.3.303-debug
>      ---- bin
>      ---- modules
>      ---- includes
>      ---- environments

@devamaz after reviewing your screen shot, it happens that the build failed because the linker cannot find the libdl by the flag -ldl. The faulty behaviour is assumed to be solved with the new Makefile-Linux.mk in the simple/src/makefiles folder, You can replace your local Makefile-Linux.mk file with the newly updated one and rebuild simple again

[devamaz]

@Thecarisma still get same error

[Thecarisma]

download the zip here unzip it in any folder,

> cd simple0.3.302-linux/bin
> ./simple

Sorry for the inconvenience, by next release it should be available using yum and apt-get on linux distros

@Thecarisma

[Thecarisma]

yes you did it you can run it from that folder now @devamaz create a file hello.sim with content display "Hello world"

./simple hello.sim

[Youngestdev]

The examples repo for Linux is different... I'll update it soon 🙏.

@devamaz reinstall simple-lang from the source by cloning the repo and build with the Linux-Build.sh to install simple-lang on your system and allow simple to execute from any folder in your Linux System

[Youngestdev]

@Thecarisma, I think I'll have to build/modify the build.sh to suit Debian systems.

[Thecarisma]

you can write another build script for debian using the format of the Linux-Build.sh

[Youngestdev]

Yup. I'll just rewrite one like I did previously
