FreeBASIC - A multi-platform BASIC Compiler Copyright (C) 2004-2013 The FreeBASIC development team. Official site: http://www.freebasic.net/ Forum: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/ Online manual: http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/DocToc fbc project page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/ IRC channel: ##freebasic at irc.freenode.net FreeBASIC consists of fbc (the command line compiler), the runtime libraries (included into FB programs by fbc), compiler tools (assembler, linker) used by fbc, and headers and bindings for third-party libraries. Documentation of language features, compiler options and many other details is available in the FB manual. For help & support, visit the FB forum! Features: http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/CompilerFeatures Requirements: http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/CompilerRequirements o Installation & Usage FreeBASIC gives you the FreeBASIC compiler program, called fbc or fbc.exe, plus the compiler tools and run-time libraries used by fbc. It is a command line program that takes FreeBASIC source code files (*.bas) and compiles them into executables. fbc is typically invoked by Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) or text editors, from a terminal or command prompt, or through build-systems such as makefiles. - Win32 - Download the latest FreeBASIC-x.xx.x-win32.exe installer - Run it and click through it - Use fbc.exe from the install directory to compile FB code, for example: - Click Start -> FreeBASIC -> Open console - In the opened prompt, type in the following command and press ENTER: > fbc.exe examples\hello.bas This should have created examples\hello.exe, which can be executed right away: > examples\hello.exe - Optionally: install an IDE for FB, for example: FBIDE (http://fbide.freebasic.net/) FBEdit (http://radasm.cherrytree.at/fbedit/) - Linux - Download the latest FreeBASIC-x.xx.x-linux.tar.gz - Extract it - Open a terminal - cd into the extracted FreeBASIC-x.xx.x-linux directory - run "sudo ./install.sh -i" - Install the following packages (names vary depending on distribution): Debian/Ubuntu: x86: amd64 old: amd64 new: gcc gcc-multilib gcc-multilib g++ g++-multilib g++-multilib libncurses5-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32ncurses5-dev libx11-dev ia32-libs libx11-dev:i386 libxext-dev lib32ffi-dev libxext-dev:i386 libxrender-dev libxrender-dev:i386 libxrandr-dev libxrandr-dev:i386 libxpm-dev libxpm-dev:i386 libffi-dev OpenSUSE: x86: x86_64: gcc gcc-32bit gcc-c++ gcc-c++-32bit ncurses-devel ncurses-devel-32bit xorg-x11-devel xorg-x11-devel-32bit libffi46-devel xorg-x11-libX11-devel-32bit xorg-x11-libXext-devel-32bit xorg-x11-libXrender-devel-32bit xorg-x11-libXpm-devel-32bit libffi46-devel-32bit - Use the installed fbc program to compile FB code, for example: $ fbc examples/hello.bas This should have created the examples/hello program, which can be executed right away: $ examples/hello - Optionally: install an IDE for FB, for example: Geany (www.geany.org) - DOS - Download the latest FreeBASIC-x.xx.x-dos.zip - Extract it - Use fbc.exe from the extracted directory to compile FB code, for example: > fbc.exe examples\hello.bas This should have created examples\hello.exe, which can be executed right away: > examples\hello.exe o Licensing The FreeBASIC compiler (fbc) is licensed under the GNU GPLv2 or later. The FreeBASIC runtime library (in both normal (libfb) and thread-safe (libfbmt) versions) and the FreeBASIC graphics library (libfbgfx) are licensed under the GNU LGPLv2 or later, with this exception to allow linking to it statically: As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. The FreeBASIC documentation is licensed under the GNU FDL. Dependencies on third-party libraries: The FreeBASIC runtime library uses LibFFI to implement the Threadcall functionality. This means that, by default, FreeBASIC programs will be linked against LibFFI when using Threadcall. LibFFI is released under the MIT/Expat license, see doc/licenses/libffi.txt. By default, FreeBASIC programs are linked against various system and/or support libraries, depending on the platform. Those include the DJGPP libraries used by FreeBASIC for DOS and the MinGW/GCC libraries used by FreeBASIC for Windows. o Included/used third-party tools and libraries: - DJGPP http://www.delorie.com/ - GCC http://gcc.gnu.org/ - GNU binutils http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ - GNU debugger http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/ - GoRC http://www.godevtool.com/ - LibFFI http://sourceware.org/libffi/ - MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ - OpenXDK http://openxdk.maturion.de/ - TDM-GCC http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ o Credits Project members: - Andre Victor T.
