Re: What is the relationship between FreeBASIC, ThinBASIC and OxygenBASIC?

ThinBASIC is quite good. I liked the syntax but unfortunately it's 32 bit only and it tied to Windows. ahh i see you need something that work on Linux and that is 64bit. well so you need BaCon ...??? What is BaCon? I already have FreeBASIC and QB64, both of them works on 64 bit Linux. I was involve...

Re: Intel Free compilers

just curious where that says 'free'. Use Intel® System Studio with a free commercial license backed by community forum support. This license allows usage for 90 days, and can be refreshed an unlimited number of times to use the latest version . You can convert at any time to a paid license, which p...

Re: How can i use variables declared in WinMain function in WndProc function ?

Maybe a poor choice of data type in this example. Could produce buffer overun if assigned new value somewhere else. Has nothing to do with names and scope. I've been using this concept for 20+yrs (various languages) normally with types(structs) or classes dimmed in WinMain filled out with data I nee...

Re: Raspberry Pi and FreeBASIC

Interesting, but FB is already a BASIC to C converter. Either way, at present neither FB nor this basic converter you linked to can emit code suitable for running on an Arduino. Especially if you want to utilize the Processing framework and API that makes Arduino so easy to use. That said, I think ...

Re: What to do about a lack of developers for the compiler?

Personnaly I beleive the development of the FreeBasic compiler has come to an end. Actually the 64bit is a translator not a compiler. It takes basic syntax and translates it to "c" and then compiles it with gcc and links with ld. Gee I wonder where I heard that before? :) Seriously, dkl di...
