Sorted I just had to download the source code from the github (https://github.com/verybadidea/XFont-Lib) and compilte it with 1.08.1 and it works fine now.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to compile a project on Windows 7 but I am getting the following error messages C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeBASIC\fbc -s gui "NPoS.bas" C:\PROGRA~2\FREEBA~1\bin\win32\ld.exe: NPoS.o:fake:(.text+0x15cb): undefined reference to `XFONT::INTERFACE::BACKCOLOR__set__(unsi...

Hi Everyone, I have this function I am using with in my Windows Application and it makes my code very easy to read and use and I would like to port it to FreeBASIC Dim aQuery = QueryDatabase("database", SQLCommand) If aQuery.HasRows = True Then 'aQuery.Read() CashierNameSystemWide = aQuery...

so it would be best to try somehow to port the DLL code into FreeBASIC? Below is a snip of the DLL Public Class ActivatedMultisaverInfo Public Sub New(ByVal anId As String, ByVal aName As String, ByVal anActiveInstances As Integer) _Id = anId _Name = aName _Instances = anActiveInstances End Sub Publ...

Hi everyone, I want to ask you all for some input on a idea I have had. I was wondering what benefits would I have if I moved the following functions to a background thread > Serial barcode scanner > Database Updates (syncing data from the Main database server to a local copy in case the server goes...

I remember trying to use a vb dll a few years ago, I had limited success using LoadLibraryExA, which gives you some options with the dwFlag parameter. I know visual basic is your preferred language. You had a two year gap, I thought perhaps you finally got your shop POS system up and running, dos, ...

Hi Everyone,

I have a DLL that was written for me in VB2019 is it possible to use this DLL with in a FreeBASIC application?

If it is possible would this be limited to Windows or would it run on Linux (and even DOS) as well

@adeyblue No I did not pay for it It was sent over to me free as it was a Demon that should have worked with the RS232 scanner scales that I have. (and when I complied it on linux and try to run it errors saying the exec is nor formatted correctly) I have managed to get the first section works (the ...

hi @TJF, That snipe is how it was sent to me #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <errno.h> #include <unistd.h> /*#include <syslog.h> */ #include <string.h> #ifdef _WIN32 #define O_NOCTTY 0 #else #include <termios.h> POSIX te...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me I need to convert a very small C program to FreeBASIC and send the data to a pipe connection (that is set in the ini file of the application) #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #...

@paul Doe your welcome to email me at <the email you have> How would you define 'top of the rank'? Here, the crappiest PoS I've seen runs under XP, and most of them on Win7. There's the ocassional DOS solution, but they don't run it naively (either in compat mode or under DOSBox). Top of the range h...

most of what I need is just basic input screens etc that was why I though of the TUI for this project Here in the UK we have a gap between manual cash registers and to of the range EPoS systems and nothing in between hence why I want to design this app (so small business can have the advantage of EP...

The only reason why i was using DOS was because I know how to set up the autoexec I would use Debian in frame buffer mode but I have no idea how to auto start a program in Linux. and I would have to learn how to use FoxPro (as I know FoxPro does have a interface that can act like a Program) I am usi...

A GUI would be easier but it would mean learning how to use the tool kit. The software is still crashing with just the text interface (I’m working on that) The tool kits only aim at Linux and windows I would like to also support DOS (if anyone knows of a gui tool kit that works on dos I’ll be intere...

opps my bad I did not see that one
