A successful Fb64 Windows experiment. First I am using the 64bit fbc for installation into 64bit MinGW-w64 toolchain. Using this package: http://nuwen.net/mingw.html I copied the Fb32 win include to the 64bit installation. I am using RadAsm3 instead of FbEdit as I use it for all my coding. I was abl...

Data types are NOT the same on Win64 so that code will not work.

How about translations from Windows BOOL to Fb32/fb64

dkl, Is Fb64 Integer = 64bits written in stone? If so it is the only compiler I tested on Win/Linux 64bit systems that is this way and is going to be very confusing when working with third party libraries. See my post in this thread: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22862 James

I don't know how relevant my observations are but.... This is the results I get from this code compiled with 32 and 64 FreeBasic and run on Win7 64 This has an Integer as 8 Bytes under Win64 which I don't think is correct ??? Dim a As Byte Dim b As UByte Dim c As Short Dim d As UShort Dim e As Long ...

It would be nice to have 64 bit libraries built with gcc 4.9.1 I do not code for 32bit any more as I don't own a 32bit OS; Windows or Linux. One of the most popular(?) packages that I primarily use is the TDM-GCC compiler package. Code::Blocks and prepackged wxWidgets is built with it I am also usin...

A big thanks to Joshy for his IUP library and includes. I added an rc with an xp manifest: http://www.jcfuller.com/iup_01.png Now to get the 64 bit working. I tinkered and had it working sorta with 64bit dll's but .... James '=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*...

Joshy,
Did you compile the Iup libraries?
If not which one did you download from the repository.

With the support for virtuals the C++ compatibility has gotten better, but lots of things are still missing. And of course it's only compatible to GCC, not MSVC. I'm not sure about whether using TDM-GCC is a good idea actually, there seems to be a licensing issue related to the winpthreads library:...

Oh, totally forgot TDM-GCC there. Yea, it should even be better than the "original" MinGW toolchains as it has extra fixes. And including the exact toolchain in the release notes won't be a problem, I see why it's important. The biggest problem I had was building 32/64 libraries. I opted ...

I would like to suggest using the TDM-GCC-32/64 compiler unless there is reason not to?
I have been using it and the wxPack wxWidget's package which includes 32/64 static and dll builds on my latest project.

TDM-GCC is also used for code::blocks.

I have not investigated your code but was wondering if your json approach to an interpreter would work on the creation of a translator from basic syntax to c++

Anyone have any experience with the zorin http://zorin-os.com/ distro? They tout it as a migration path for XP users. I installed the core 8 (32bit) version and I must say it was not an unpleasant experience but it appears it is for Users only. My inital try at even simple hobby (gui) coding was not...

I am surprised with MinGW gcc. I know I tried but it may have been with some code using intel syntax that failed?

James

I didn't think any of the 64bit c/c++ compilers had built in asm statements??
