Running FB on Windows 11.

Post by vsm_user »

I downloaded FreeBASIC from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/files/ . Extracted the files into a separate folder and I'm trying to run the fbc64 application file but all it does is opens a window that immediately dissapears and nothing happens. How can I run it successfully?

I have a .BAS file that I want to open, the code in it was used to record data from a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (connected to Solartron Voltmeters) in my lab and I want to see if it can run again.

fbc64.exe is the compiler only. The best way to use it is to use an IDE (e.g. FBIde) where can set all necessary compiler options to compile and run a .bas file.
