I remember that I tried to do that on the Mac years ago, I wound up creating symlinks of the needed files/directories but that solution is dirty

@SMC
add -arch native to the compile command like Dinosaur did

Löwenherz I stick to my opinion, it's dirty programming something just a little bit more acceptable in my opinion would be to use the FasmDLL https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=6239 years ago I made a test, 32-bit only you will need to change the path of the FasmDLL in line 179 to wherever ...

I don't think that this type of code will work in a modern OS without some means of marking the memory in the strings as executable
I don't approve/like this kind of coding, it's a recipe for malicious code

hello Löwenherz
why would you want to do such dirty programming anyway ?

thanks Xusinboy Bekchanov :) code page 936 was one of the things that was needed, I would venture to guess that for most Windows users there would be missing libraries, namely xml2 and it's dependencies I have msys2 installed, so I can borrow the necessary libs from there, libxml2.a, liblzma.a, libz...

@PeterHu
please post your example that won't work

@PeterHu
you need to save your program source with a Unicode BOM, in the Geany IDE: Document -> Write Unicode BOM

exagonx I just installed Debian on a VM, binutils 2.40 and FB-1.20.0, no warning fbc -w all -v "hello.bas" (in directory: /root/Documents) FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.20.0 (2024-07-25), built for linux-x86_64 (64bit) Copyright (C) 2004-2024 The FreeBASIC development team. target: linux-...

exagonx, what if you update FreeBasic ?
I suspect that you may be using an older version

@SARG
airr ported BCX to Linux https://github.com/Airr/MBC

I just fired-up my Kali VM, it has the latest binutils version 2.43
compiling a FB program doesn't give any warnings

Hi exagonx
it would help if you would give the binutils version, e.g. ld --version because a lot of distros don't use the latest tools available

did you install my FB package?
it should work on your system without problems after changing permissions on fbc, then if you are so inclined you can build FB from source
