Freebasic for Android?

[Loe]

Anybody had any success to port/emit android source code?
As I understand with GCC,it allow to emit/produce a code, like ASM or C or am I wrong?
If it possible what route should i take to produce android application with freebasic & gcc

thank you

The way to do it is something like this:
1. get Android NDK
2. compile FB rtlib with the gcc toolchain from the Android NDK
3. copy the libs into an fbc installation
4. use fbc -target ... to cross-compile using the gcc toolchain from the Android NDK

chances are it will require adjustments to the FB sources before it works though.

rtlib is freebasic's library and its source code is on github and in freebasic's source package.

You definitely should take a look at the dev section in the freebasic wiki to geht some information about compiling fbc, rtlib and gfxlib2.

I think there were already sucessful ports to android. I even think that I have seen a website explaining how to get fbc running on android. Try searching in this forum and in the web, because I unfortunately don't remember the site' address/name.

Thank you st_w, it seems i lose information so long.
I will try to follow what they achieved rather than to start a new step.

Thank you all
