Congratulations to you. And just in time for Christmas.

ScriptBasic » Dec 04, 2013 4:24 : " O2 is written in FreeBASIC ". Ah, that explains why O2 graphics window apps freeze as soon as the MOUSE DOWN occurs in the Title Bar - just like in fb. There is an fb workaround that traps the WM_MOUSEDOWN event and uses the mouse(x,y) position to then r...

Pitto, Again compiling main.bas on WINXP/SP3 with fb.24 (and also with fb.91) using the following compiler switches: fbc -s console -v -mt -exx -arch 386 -w pedantic (-exx to check for bounds errors and null pointer errors, -s console so that run-time error codes are displayed on exit) The runtime e...

Pitto, I downloaded and extracted the file, "JASC_022.tar", from the link above and I've tried compiling main.bas on WINXP/SP3 with fb.24, but I get a runtime error: Aborting due to runtime error 1 (illegal function call) at line 1698 of main_jr1.bas::LOAD_BEHAVIOR() The offending line see...

jdebord,

This link: "http://panoramiclemag.magix.net/public/EN018.htm" sends me to, "A new website is under construction here" - no articles are accessible to me there.

aloberoger,

I commented out: "windowsx.bi".

Now, 'resource.bi' cannot be found. It looks to be a required file.

Jim

aloberoger,

"windowsx.bi" is nowhere to be found?

Yvan, Here is a short console program that I use for some timing tests of my serial ports. The program first searches backwards from COM255 to COM1 and lists all of the virtual COM ports that WINDOWS knows about. After that, the program opens the last COM port found (usually COM1) and then repeatedl...

Yvan, If you were able to communicate successfully using fb (DOS), then the next logical step would be to test communications in fb (WIN). On success using fb (WIN), then introduce FireFly. If communications now fail, then perhaps the problem is with FireFly, not with serial communications. Help wit...

Thanks for the suggestions. It turns out that the return value from Freefile() that I was holding in use when the program was initialized was colliding with another hard coded instance of OPEN file for RANDOM as #n where #n was already being used. ON ERROR GOTO apparently trapped the collision, but ...

Why would fb.24 and fb.90.1 trap a runtime error for ERR=0 which means "No Error" (not "Unknown Error") according to the Freebasic Manual? I can't for the life of me figure this out - I've never encountered this before. Jim Edit-1: These lines caused the problem: Dim Shared As In...

Congratulations, Vince. It's never too late. I wish you much success.

fotoncat, Since I don't have fbc in my path statement, I did this WINXP, SP3: [1] Unzip the "my-sock-master" folder to "G:\fb.24\my-sock-master\" (my path, your path is probably different). [2] Edit the two batch files "build_dll.bat" and "build_lib.bat" so th...

Google search was worthless, but I searched my backup files and was able to find a copy dated 2006. Whew!

I have fb24 on WINXP.
When I try to compile the Javascript example: G:\fb.24\examples\other-languages\JavaScript\SpiderMonkey\callbacks.bas,
I get: G:\fb.24\bin\win32\ld.exe: cannot find -ljs

How do I get this example to compile correctly?
