The distributed compiler itself needs 'libtinfo.so.5', so "sudo apt-get install libtinfo5". If you want to prevent this from happening with your compiled programs, copy "libtinfo.a" to "/usr/local/lib/freebasic/linux-x86_64", and it will be statically linked. If you're ...

Hey Joshy and Dr_D, this is pretty good.
A software renderer would come handy in my projects as an alternative to OpenGL.
Also, I could use this for better collision detection.
Mind if I borrow it? ;)

I'm curious. What does Cordova have to do with FB and Emscripten? Looks to me like it's simply another Javascript hybrid app development platform. Cordova can turn HTML/javascript into an Android app. So we could make Android apps using FreeBASIC. Just that. Sure it's not the best path, as it's bet...

It will always return 50 on Linux.
I have reported the issue here: https://github.com/freebasic/fbc/issues/257

Fails too!

This works:

Looks like a bug to me.

Hey TeeEmCee! About ncurses, the problem is libtinfo, right? I had problems with it after I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04. But copying 'libtinfo.a' to '/usr/local/lib/freebasic/linux-x86_64/' solved it for me. I don't know the internals, but this causes libtinfo to link statically. The reason I'm using D...

When I compile my code with -O 2 or higher, I get a lot of this warnings: warning: ‘SOMEVAR$SOMENUMBER’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] I've tried to isolate a simple code that throws this warnings, but I couldn't. I have many nested subs and macros. Does anyone kn...

Depending on what you're doing with those libs, you could use clever DYLIBLOAD/DYLIBSYMBOL instead of dynamic linking.
I'm doing that with SDL in my games.

Linux executables won't automatically load libraries from the same directory, as PE .exe does. Distribute the needed libraries with your application, I recommend putting them in a sub-directory. Instead of running the program directly, use a runner script to set 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' and then run the pr...

I needed video playback in my WIP game, so this is how I did it. Special thanks to the VLC authors and D.J Peters who helped figure out the callbacks.
