Re: set numlock at start of application

You may want to check this page, especially the "setleds"-program: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac ... _on_Bootup

However, a program manipulating the users' keyboard is pretty invasive and not wanted by users 99% percent of the time, are you sure this is what you want?

Re: Unofficial FreeBASIC 1.04.0 OS X release

Just a bit of information to get you excited: I just ran a graphical demo (qbsprite.bas) on OS X without XQuartz. I'm currently writing an SDL2-backend for gfxlib2. It's still in an early stage (no Keyboard support yet, not optimized for non-32bit-modes yet, no OpenGL support...), but it does run on...

Are you sure your code even compiles? r.asm: Assembler messages: r.asm:31: Error: invalid use of register Afaik the resulting "mov [ebp-8],ebp-12 " is not valid assembly. /edit: My assembly-skills are a bit rusty, but how about this: dim a as integer dim b as byte cls print @b ' Print addr...

Re: Unofficial FreeBASIC 1.04.0 OS X release

Just a quick update: The fix for the warnings has been committed and merged. Once FB 1.05 is released, the warnings will be gone.

They're not critical, so you can basically ignore them until I find the time for the next round of patches ;)

Re: Unofficial FreeBASIC 1.04.0 OS X release

Maybe you know that FBC and its components use (L)GPL licenses? Yes. Personally I would consider it a NO-GO to publish a binary package on Sourceforge without the according source-code (if differing from the 1.04 one) and/or Makefiles/Tools (if needed). (but of course that's something dkl/counting_...

What a day in history of FreeBASIC a MAC port and JavaScript HTML5 webGL backend on one day :-) Well, actually the OS X work is already a few weeks old and was merged together with my patches for NetBSD, FreeBSD and Solaris (which should be usable also, but I was too lazy to assemble a build yet ;)...

Unofficial FreeBASIC 1.04.0 OS X release

Hi, I just built FreeBASIC 1.04.0 for OS X and thought that some of you might be interested in this. You can download it here (i don't know how long this link will stay valid, it would be cool if this could be uploaded to sourceforge where the other releases reside). Please note that for building an...

Re: Windows 10 Problem.

Since you're not providing enough information, I'll try to guess here. Is your problem the one described in this thread? If yes, this has been fixed in git already, but isn't available in a release version yet. You may want to try one of the nightly builds.

Re: windows 10 abend

Well, the msdn doesn't mention passing a nullptr for lpNumberOfCharsWritten is allowed, so I guess this is an excellent example of relying on undefined behavior. This kind of stuff usually kicks you in the butt when you least expect it, so better stick to the documentation. :)

Re: Linker problem on FreeBSD i386

By default, fbc calls FB's exepath() to get its installation directory, but I think exepath() is currently not properly implemented in the freebsd port of the FB rtlib. I sent you a pull request on github ;) However, I didn't rebuild fbc with the fix yet, so I'm not sure if it fixes the entire prob...

Linker problem on FreeBSD i386

Well, technically, this is the wrong subforum, but since there is no subforum for FreeBSD yet... ;) I recently decided to play around with FreeBSD and FreeBASIC, so I got myself a FreeBSD 10 ISO and got started. Since there is no pre-packaged version of FreeBASIC for FreeBSD, I had to build fbc myse...

Hey, I know, it's been a while since the last post in this topic, but I thought it would be appropriate to post my current (final?) implementation.

Re: intrusive linked list feedback

Welcome to the forum! Thanks! A quick remark: - I think the code could be more simple and clear if you pack the procedures as members of list_head: I agree, thats a good idea. Rather than use composition ('l as list_head' in testtype), I prefer use the inheritance ('type testtype extends list_head'...
