VisualFBEditor - IDE for FreeBasic

[lenoil98]

When attempting to build on FreeBSD/PowerPC64 I'm getting the following errors:

Am I missing something? Please help.

Maybe you are compiling with an old version of the compiler?

I originally tried with a fbc built from the Github master (1.08), then an older compiler 1.05. Regardless of the compiler, I get the same errors. Could this be an issue with FreeBSD?

No. Seems to be the issue with your own FreeBSD/PowerPC port of fbc.
BTW, his IDE has never supported any OS outside of Linux and Windows.
Here is the error log when compiling it with FreeBSD/amd64 (fbc build by StW):

You could see. The problems are of the crt headers but not his code like yours.
Your FreeBSD/PowerPC maybe broken. Try compiling his IDE on his supported OS, Windows or Linux, to see if it's really the problems of his code or not, which I think very unlikely.

I didn’t say it was his code, I was just trying to see if there was something I was missing. However, your input added value as the issue may be as I suggested with FreeBSD (that is the headers I’m using for FreeBSD).

I’ll figure it out!

Please try rounding string values on WStr(), then maybe it works. If it works, then I will make them all so.

Thanks! That allowed me to get pass those initial errors, but more popped up. I truly believe this is related to the lack of good crt headers FreeBSD. Usually Linux headers will also work for FreeBSD, but this may be a bridge too far.

What are the mistakes, can you tell?

[Cretin Ho]

Removed crt dependency:
https://github.com/XusinboyBekchanov/My ... 26983c4386

Now I think you can compile on your system.

Sorry. I didn't see your comment. No. Still fails. The crt was used by GTK and GLib themselves, so as I said on my previous post any programs use these libraries, not only your IDE, will fail to compile on the Solaris target.

Simple copying doesn't work?

Update: Simple copying and change the macro from "linux" to "freebsd" does work. It's just my previous source tree of fbc was messed up. I removed it and clone a new one then everything is worked now.

Note: on FreeBSD, you have to add -Wl -L/usr/local/lib to the compilation command in order to have the linker find the needed libraries. I make a bash shell alias to make it more convenient:

alias fbc='fbc -Wl -L/usr/local/lib'

The only thing that doesn't work on FreeBSD is the splash screen, you could see in my screenshot below, it doesn't disappear and just there, hiding other parts of the IDE so it's useless now. Is there any option to disable the splash screen to workaround this issue?

If he has the same experience as mine, then he is right. It's about the missing crt headers and needed macros for them on FreeBSD. But it's not as simple as copy the linux directory into the freebsd directory but one has to edit the headers themselves to add the needed macros for FreeBSD.

Sorry. I didn't see your comment. No. Still fails. The crt was used by GTK and GLib themselves, so as I said on my previous post any programs use these libraries, not only your IDE, will fail to compile on the Solaris target.

Simple copying doesn't work?

Update: Simple copying and change the macro from "linux" to "freebsd" does work. It's just my previous source tree of fbc was messed up. I removed it and clone a new one then everything is worked now.

Note: on FreeBSD, you have to add -Wl -L/usr/local/lib to the compilation command in order to have the linker find the needed libraries. I make a bash shell alias to make it more convenient:

alias fbc='fbc -Wl -L/usr/local/lib'

The only thing that doesn't work on FreeBSD is the splash screen, you could see in my screenshot below, it doesn't disappear and just there, hiding other parts of the IDE so it's useless now. Is there any option to disable the splash screen to workaround this issue?

Good news. You can close like this:
Clicking on the image in the splash form will close the splash form.

Can you provide the details on what changes you made and to what macros? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! That allowed me to get pass those initial errors, but more popped up. I truly believe this is related to the lack of good crt headers FreeBSD. Usually Linux headers will also work for FreeBSD, but this may be a bridge too far.

What are the mistakes, can you tell?

These are the new errors.

You require all strings to be inside WStr() (What makes it so? String with quotation marks considers String and does not combine with WString???).
Only in this case where C came from, I don't know. In my code, quotation marks ("") stand together with it.

Here is my crt directory, you could use it as a reference: https://ufile.io/zvkbotwx
