I somehow broke it myself by submitting a small code change that didn't compile in my CI setup due to outdated curl headers . Updated the curl headers and it should be working again now. Thanks again fxm for making me aware and sorry for the instability.

Thank you @fxm for the hint. Documentation build is working again now. It requires the pcre2 regex-library instead of pcre now. I updated the dependencies accordingly. Here's the PCRE2 10.45 build for windows (both static and dynamic libs, x86/x64) in case anyone needs it: https://users.freebasic-po...

Is the issue specific to Linux on aarch64 or does it affect x86/am64 Linux as well?

(I unfortunately don't have an appropriate hardware setup here at the moment to test this :-/ )

I noted that you have created bindings for several C libraries. I have no idea how you created them, but in case you used fbfrog: did you consider contributing to https://github.com/freebasic/fbbindings/tree/raw or publish the used configuration?

I don't have such hardware unfortunately, so I can't tell for sure, but I read in the news that they do come with x86 emulation (comparable to Rosetta on a Mac). Older versions support 32-bit only, current ones 64-bit as well. So I'm pretty sure FreeBasic itself and FreeBasic applications will run u...

You can install the DOS-Version of FreeBasic (see https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/CompilerRequirements for requirements, notably a DOS-Extender) and run FreeBasic there, compile+run your applications, etc. However, you cannot run 32-bit Windows Console Applications in DOS, only 32-bit DOS Application...

Maybe build tools + platform tools suffice. But installing the full suite is easier for sure. And you probably won't save too much cause the platform tools alone are quite big.

That's why there are so many GUI libraries out there. Some of the most popular ones are e.g. Qt and wxWidgets or Slint, to mention a newer one (all of them cannot really be used with FreeBasic unfortunately). Some FB-compatible ones are e.g. FLTK, IUP or GTK. However, I wouldn't recommend using FB f...

Both versions are the same. :wink: Are you really sure? .. maybe some (browser) caching issue? or mixup? new https://i.ibb.co/DbG6WpH/image.png old, debug https://i.ibb.co/H20NtS1/image.png (above screenshots are from the x64 builds, but also checked the x86 ones) Also the file size should be signi...

Seems that this was easier than expected. I updated the original upload: https://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/files/prog/fb/libs/cairo-1.8.0.zip (renamed the old one to https://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/files/prog/fb/libs/cairo-1.8.0-debug.zip) All I did was adding two additional build options:...

I see. The "D" suffix means that it's a debug build - didn't notice when building 😅, but fixing that should be easy. The other issue is the dependency on the MSVC-runtime library. This can be configured with the build options: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/md-mt-ld-...

Tried a bit longer and got some test builds: https://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/files/prog/fb/libs/cairo-1.8.0.zip Haven't tested it, just checked the dependencies (which are only system ones). Compiled with VS 2022. Built manually using mason and a small patch to the build file adding "stat...

The issue with the script is that is relies on the old autotools-based build tooling for cairo which has been removed since: Additionally, cairo's Autotools build system has been removed; from now on, cairo will only support the Meson build system. While the end result should be identical, further t...
