 Posted: Nov 18, 2006 0:37 Post subject: DOS daily CVS build |
 |
|
http://drv.nu/freebasic/dev/
Install over the latest testing release. Get the latest headers and examples from CVS or by downloading a medium or large package from http://ecowles.dyndns.org/fbdu/
If you are missing libm.a, copy it from a DJGPP installation to FreeBASIC\lib\dos\ or get it from http://drv.nu/freebasic/dev/libm.zip
EDIT 2007-01-05: moved to 'dev' instead of 'cvs' in hopes of a future move to SVN for version control. :)
EDIT 2008-07-06: Builds have not been updated for a while, and no complaints were received, so unless demand increases, no new daily builds will be available here.

Thanks. Works now. From minimal testing seems that big graph bug is
fixed (as it was in August) as well as the minor bugs (unlike in August).

Seems to work without. Is it the huge "INC" directory with 120
subdirectories, 1500 files and 10 MB size ? What is the benefit of the new
"headers" ?
There is a small issue: there is a new file present: "libfb_ctor.o".
Would it be possible to rename this file to "libfbcto.o" ? Increasing
number of files with long file names is not good for the DOS version so
it cold stop working without DOSLFN one day. |

Sure, I'll handle that one. I need to modify the startup code for profiling anyway. I will do it ASAP. |

Yes, it's the FreeBASIC\inc directory - some of the headers have been updated or fixed, and in particular fbgfx.bi has had some important changes recently. If you're not using any of the headers currently and don't need them, you don't have to update. |

The "-lang fb" changes have broken a few of the headers from the last testing release (implicit byref/byval parameters), but they have been fixed now. The broken headers should be replaced with the new ones if you intend to use them.
For example, if you want to use the Format function then you'll have to update your version of string.bi, otherwise it won't work and will probably cause a crash in you program.
I'd suggest downloading the inc folder once if you can spare the bandwidth, then it should be fine for futrue updates. If changes are made in specific header files that you want to take advantage of, you could download them specifically from CVS. |

| The DOS daily build will be down for a few days due to an OS upgrade. |

Hi DrV,
| The daily DOS build wrote: | | The requested URL /freebasic/dev/FB-2007-02-05-dos.zip was not found on this server. |
..the libs are available, but I already got them..
Is the daily DOS build still down?
Tia, regards

| The stable release will work too; just make sure you have updated versions of all libraries and headers. |

To DrV / moderators:
Please update the info about "how to get latest FB DOS version" - for
example unstick and lock this thread and create a new one. |

| I will continue to provide daily builds so that new changes can be tested by those who want to be on the "bleeding edge", so this thread still serves the same purpose it did before the 0.17 intermediate release. |
