Hello my friend Today I have a little question, because some people ask me for a simple language where can do some experiment without learning everythings and step by step learn enough to become a better programmer, but he use a MAC and in the download area is not available the version for MAC. From...

By default the program on screen is "always on top" -- how do I turn that off programmatically ?? Many thanks in advance, Dave Hi, DialogBoxes are usually used precisely because they have to appear in the foreground, otherwise you could create your own customized window that looks like a ...

Not sure what this says about our own wisdom and intelligence. I remember that a few years ago... in 1997 a synaptic architecture processing system with more than 1000 PCs was completed, the system was remarkably powerful because using many PCs connected to the network it was able to carry out cons...

Hello friends. This morning, at the suggestion of a colleague of mine, I wanted to analyze the code written in FreeBASIC with OpenAI to see if it would suggest a better method. Well I admit that it generated some remarkably elegant and very neatly written code, but it doesn't work at all, and this i...

There is no way to donate and that is on purpose. Well usually who pays for the domain and various publishing services? You can enter your IBAN and I can send some change which, together with other donations, affects the cost of maintenance. From my point of view, expenses exist and the passion, ho...

There are all sorts of taxation and bureaucratic issues that projects have to deal with when they accept donations. Unfortunately it's a real hassle to jump through all the hoops and create a non-profit organization. Each government has its own rules for non-profit associations, you just have to fi...

Today, 2023 09 09 I delivered my first software created on commission by a company, and since I wrote it entirely in FreeBASIC, I would like to donate 10% of my earnings to the community, since I am aware of the costs of the domain, server and the time that the community dedicates to non-profit purp...

EDIT. Did you copy and paste the error, or did it really say it couldn't find libd1_il.a with a number 1 instead of an L? like in th example I used 1 (number one) and not (Letter) L And NO, I Use -DLL not -LIB I need Shared Lib not included in the executable. $ fbc d1.bas, on DOS, will produce d1.d...

Hello friends. Lately I have started working on old projects again, unfortunately I find myself in the situation where I find myself with excessively large files given that the same libraries are replicated within the executable, when in reality I could create a smaller executable by exploiting the ...

my point was that you can compile your FB programs using fbide, there's no need for the cmd its make the same error like I compile from command line. Message error popup window: Error during running program. the LIBWINPTHREAD-1.DLL file is linked to the missing export KERNEL32.DLL:AddVectoredExcept...

hello exagonx :) I used to be able to run windows 95 in VM but it doesn't run under VMware anymore, but if I remember right, fbide will works in win 95 --not sure though but fbide does run in win98 Yes you are right but Im talking about the Compiler. FBC ( The compiler ) can be run only from comman...

Hello Guys Im working on FreeBASIC Compiler Source for add the windows.bi in that way if I use "-WINDOWS" option FBC appair in a window and ask for a source. in that way I can compile window app under Old version of windows, at moment I have a Virtual Machine with Windows 2k where I compil...

This code work fine for me in windows 10, windows 11, and Linux FreeBASIC dim as integer CICLE = 0 do CICLE += 1 PRINT "Line " & STR(CICLE) loop until CICLE > 99 GCC ( C ) #include <stdio.h> int main(){ int CICLE = 0; do{ CICLE ++; printf("Line %d \n", CICLE); }while (CICLE <...

I was not suggesting to change that, my suggestion was about how to handle symbol collisions in qb mode, and only in qb mode. Now I understand, and yes indeed it would be useful. By the way, GwBasic and BASICA were interpreted languages, and a compiler was available. QB 4.5 was both interpreted and...

Is my suggestion too naive? After seeing the incredible work CoderJeff made to implement nested types I wonder if the change I suggested is trivial, or if it would involve drastic changes in the compiler. Of course, on the one hand it would be a convenience for individuals who are used to languages...
