Hi all,
I am trying, unsuccessfully, to run GLBasic in Parallels Desktop on Mac OSX Mountain Lion. The IDE starts, and I copy and paste the Hello World program into the editor. I save it, and it compiles successfully, but when I run it I get the black window for about half a second and then it disappears. Just to be clear, this is the program I run:
PRINT "HELLO WORLD!" ,100,100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END
Is this something that any of you have experienced? Have you done anything special to make it work with Parallels on Mountain Lion?
Regards, Henrik
PRINT "HELLO WORLD!" ,100,100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END
HI I always confuse my self whit in NO LOOPS programs...
Try this:
while true
PRINT "HELLO WORLD!" ,100,100
SHOWSCREEN
wend
This it´s a infinite Bucle, for exit press the Break Key...
Whit your code try this:
PRINT "HELLO WORLD!" ,100,100
MOUSEWAIT
SHOWSCREEN
END
Now it´s put first MouseWait than showscreen Command, Sorry I alway forgot the ordner...
Regards, and Welcome.
PS: Don´t care all works fine, a lot of people use parallels and Mac, I use too for a while... but I prefer PC for because I use tools only are in WINDOW$

I would suspect it's the graphics system used by Parallels that is causing the problem... I dont know the solution unfortunately. Would be worth running the application in Terminal and see what error message the program comes up with.
:| Can 'glbasic' be used as a member name prefix?
Dont know :)
I use GLB in Mountain Lion 10.8.1 (just released update) and Parallels 7 (latest version) and it works flawlessly for me.
I too use Parallels on my Mac Mini (via Windows XP) without any problems. I'm still using an older OSX though (Snow Leopard?).
Great, thank you all. After forcing all Windows Updates to run it worked!

Hmm. Unfortunately it stopped working again. I have no idea why.
Hi!
On Macos you can try Virtualbox from Oracle or VMWare...
I find video problems on Virtualbox if you use many images loaded in RAM...
Currently I use VMWare and works well.
:D
