As some of you might have noticed, the last few builds didn't include the compiler. I am looking into this and hope to have it fixed by tomorrow.

edit: It's fixed. Besides, the compile log now shows more information then before, making it easier to identify problems like this in the future.

If you want to know whether the current build is broken or not, check http://www.streetcds.co.uk/fblinux/ and look at the file sizes.

If you are getting errors about -lsupc++ missing, you'll need to install libstdc++6-dev:

On a Debian(-based) system, you can do:
$ sudo apt-get install libstdc++6 libstdc++6-dev

Then install them in FreeBASIC:
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/3.4.6/*.a /usr/share/freebasic/lib/linux/

If you don't want to download libstdc++6, you can use http://www.streetcds.co.uk/fblinux/libs.tar.gz . Note that this not guaranteed to work on your computer!

For Ubuntu users theres my debian package located at http://whitebread.kicks-ass.net/fbc_current.html too.
It's a full functioning repository so you'll be notified of updates.
Debian packages of .16 stable are are also available for almost any debian distro. I can add more CVS distros but I require ppl using them to compile them. I have automated scripts that do all the work, I'm looking in to using my SF.net account to build it on their compile farm.

Soon I will take my server down for hardware upgrades, I don't know when exactly but whenever I have time I will start working. It shouldn't take much longer than 4 hours.

Hardware upgrades:
350MHz P2 --> 500MHz Celeron
64MB RAM --> 320MB RAM
8 + 1 GB HDD --> 8 + 4 GB HDD

It's going to take some time, because I'm not sure how the new mobo (JetWay 993AN) will react to the Realtek 100Mbps card. I've never got a 100Mbps card to work in this mobo yet, the maximum I could get was 20Mbps :)

And I have no idea if the CPU still works correctly. The fan that was supposed to cool it had been broken for years, and I never noticed :)

Today I've updated manualy fbc... But the update gave me the build 2007-01-12-06-16
Is it the right nightly build for today ???

... Does the great nightly build stop compiling ;)

It's a very useful community service... Hope it's still working.

Have fun

Wow, thanks for reporting this, I never noticed it myself.

It's been guite long ago since I last checked the build system, and indeed, it seems to have stalled. It probably crashed during compiling and forgot to do 'echo 0 > compiling.now'.

I fixed it and now you should be able to download fbc-2007-03-03-21-49.tar.gz from http://ikkejw.homelinux.com/fbc as usual. In the package you should find: fbc, changelog.txt, compile.log, fbrt0.o, libfb.a, libfbmt.a, libfbgfx.o, libfb_ctor.o, migrating.txt and readme.txt

I also made some improvements to the build script, so things like this should never happen again.

Hey there.

My Linux machine is not connected to the Internet because all it has is a phone line (and it's wireless at home). I'm pretty sure that I can do the install by hand, but I've never seen a shell script before and I need a little help deciphering it.

What's clear is that the script, if run, will try to go online to get the freshest CVS version. That's really cool, but I need to run it by hand, after downloading the files from the Web and unpacking them myself.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot, guys.

OK, so I figured it out after studying my directory /usr/share/freebasic.

The program "fbc" goes in the /freebasic directory.

The other files, the ".o"s and ".a"s go into the /freebasic/lib/linux/ directory.

Just in case someone were to ask... ^_^

As you might have noticed, this Linux build is not being updated anymore and the releases from the last few days are all the same. This is because I haven't had time to modify the build and update scripts to use SVN instead of CVS yet.

Also, DrV, could you please change the URL in the first post from http://ikkejw.homelinux.com/fbc/ to http://ikkejw.homelinux.com/fb/ ?

yea, the linux svn build hasn't been online in quite some time, if you want i can make one and upload it to my host.

Oz · Sr. Member

is anyone going to do a daily svn for linux now?
I would, but I can't find the devel libraries for slackware quite yet.
I can host them on my website if someone is willing to svn/compile them
