  • Are you using Ubuntu? I believe only the Ubuntu LTS releases are officially supported and that for all other flavors of Linux you're on your own....
    My main os is Windows, but the last time I tried the install on Ubuntu I had no major issues setting things up.

    Typing code goes beyond syntax checking and color coding, while there are attempts to port connect iq to other editors, imho it's recommended to use Eclipse as a development environment as there's a plugin available for that editor with a lot of connect iq improvements (debugger, settings editor, unit test environment, ....) which is not available in other editors.
  • well, was mostly Fedora... I'va some hate relationship with Ubuntu ;-) now I can throw in some new try at it !
    as forcing, I am a addict of the plain old VI ;-)
    I will do some new check for Eclipse if there are no other real alternative
  • You dont have to use eclipse, you can call the monkeybuilder from the console.
  • from some of my testings, I've got a setup working with monkeybuilder and command line (makefile)
    but simulator (connectiq) does'nt launch on recent linux distrib (even ubuntu/debian one), there is too old librairies linked in
  • It might work on other flavors of Ubuntu / Linux, but if it doesn't you're on your own really...

    As I mentioned only the Ubuntu LTS releases are officially supported, was the Ubuntu version you tried a LTS release?
  • It's Kubuntu 18.04 LTS which is the KDE version of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
    but from what I've seen/heard from other, past 16 LTS connecté doesn't work anymore because of too old librairies
