FreeBASIC Internals Documentation
Guides on how to compile FreeBASIC itself, and documentation of how the compiler and run-time libraries work behind the scenes.
Hello, and welcome to the FreeBASIC wiki. FreeBASIC is free, open source and in active development.
This wiki contains the FreeBASIC Manual. The manual is updated whenever possible to document the latest version of FreeBASIC available. Some features documented here might not be available yet in the latest official FreeBASIC release, and may only be available when building the FreeBASIC compiler and/or runtime libraries from sources, or downloading a compiled development version. The content on this wiki is created and updated by users and developers of FreeBASIC. Here is a list of people who spent a lot of time getting this wiki up and running:
Documentation Contributors
From time to time, an offline version of the manual is compiled and made available for download. A list of the compilations is also available at the Wiki downloads page.

How to get involved in FB development
Getting involved in FreeBASIC's development isn't hard. You can provide feedback, help improving this wiki or help developing FreeBASIC-related projects. Of course you can also contribute to the FreeBASIC compiler, by reporting bugs or submitting patches. A good way to get started is to write small patches and submitting them via the patch tracker on SourceForge, or posting them on the forum. Besides the compiler (written in FreeBASIC itself), there is the runtime library as well as the graphics library (both written in C). Feel free to contact other developers via the forum, the ##freebasic IRC channel on freenode, or the trackers on SourceForge. Join the discussion on Discord
