Next script should work with Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 and Debian 5.0.

Installs all necessary libraries and depedencies to use FreeBasic.

Save file ~./installFB.sh
Open terminal
Give executing rights to file by typing chmod +x installFB.sh (You need root priviliges)
Type ./installFB.sh

This isn't a script. This is a source.
</nitpick>

Why not put a compiled file on file-pasta so people can use that to install?

Yah, maybe it might be handy for someone. At least easier than goin thru tutorial.
Maybe ill make it bit nicer code later this evening. But then, would be nice to have sources for Kubuntu, Ebuntu and Xubuntu too? At least opening websites for default browser wont work in any other distro except gnome.

Why not just provide a patched install script for the specific lunix system?

Check the first post. And youre right, FB source for that was silly but it was not even ment to be taken seriously ;)

I'm all for a good joke, but the average forum user here doesn't seem to be smart enough to figure out the basics for themselves (ie: RTM, stfw). It's best to avoid anything non-serious and treat the moronic masses like the moronic masses as they are - moronic masses.

To whom everelse is reading this thread; yes, I'm talking about you, moron.

/me hands eric some Midol.

oh by the way the script is cool, doing all of it in one step is always easier, thank you.

Thanks Chaos. Im happy if there is anyone who gets help with that one.
Would there be chance to create page in wiki for these things? I mean they get lost in forum and fact is that phpBB search sucks.

Im positive that users of different distros would keep those pages updated.

Sticky?

E.K.Virtanen · Posted: Apr 05, 2007 21:51 Post subject:

But if we would try to collect more these scripts for different distros? Then there would be sticky's more than enough.
Well, im goin offline for few weeks after tomorrow so it's not my problem anyway :D

Basically all FreeBASIC programmers I know of are *buntu users, except for myself, but I still use debian, so the script would still work.

Anyone here use anything non-debian based?

tbh, I wanted to sticky your last walkthrough, of putting FB onto ubuntu, step-by-step... i assume someone has tested this? If it's tested from a system (preferably a fresh OS install, live cd?) then I could sticky it as like "linux setup scripts" which i'll just keep locked until we get a new script for another flavor of linux, then i could just add it to the post and lock it back up again, making sure it stays easy to read. of course you (and anyone who contributes any other script) will get credits for the scripts ;)

also, if you'd like to put it on the wiki, looks like the logical place to link from is http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=CompilerInstalling

we could create separate wiki pages for each script, and add links there like "for debian, use [[this script|linktothescript]] (or however the wiki syntax is... lol)

I use FB on a non-Debian-based Linux (Arch), but I don't really need an automated installer. ;)
