Re: Where can I get a Recent-Git-Build of FreeBASIC?

Thanks for the hint! restarted the system (Windows Updates) and freed up some disk space (had only a few 100MB left) now it should be working again 😎

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

You might also look into something like this: https://github.com/sahib/glyr It provides a command line tool as well. This could be a way simpler solution, if invoking some external utility is enough for your needs. Alternatively it can be used as library as well (probably with similar effort as if u...

Re: Problem with gir\gtk-3.0.bi & bass.bi

But the better solution would be replacing Bass by GStreamer, the GLib based alternative (that's cross-platform). Bass is also cross-platform. The biggest advantage of gstreamer is probably its license, which also allows free commercial usage (while Bass is only free for non-commercial usage). And ...

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

I downloaded PLEX and started it. 3 hours later using almost 100% of one core+ it was still running and killing anything else running. I finally killed it and unloaded it. Never tried Plex for music, but I guess you either have a very large music library or a quite old/low-end PC if indexing and fe...

Re: CAN'T INSTALL FreeBASIC On Windows 11

I set the compiler path and now it works fine, but should I use the fbc64.exe instead of fbc.exe ? That mostly depends on what you want. If you want to build 32-bit applications then use fbc32.exe, if you want to build 64-bit applications use fbc64.exe. The third one, fbc.exe must be from some diff...

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

Both Plex and musicBrainz offer web-services, easily accessible via REST APIs. See documentation pages: Plex API: https://www.plexopedia.com/plex-media-server/api/ MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development The tools are quite different and which one is more suitable totally depends on wha...

Re: GCC 9.4.0 abi compatible

In case you searched for the toolchain(s) used to build fbc on Windows, it's linked on the release page: https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31376
(not sure if I correctly understood what you've searched for an hour)

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

Never tried it for music (only for movies), but Plex also supports Music. It will automatically fetch metdata from various sources, including AllMusic and MusicBrainz.

I think the MusicBrainz database is freely available, so you could use it in your own software as well.

Re: Feature Request

Note that this will also trim any multiples of n, so if n = 2 as in the example above it will also trim 4 zeros, 6 zeros, etc.

Your request sounds related to number formatting. Maybe PRINT USING or printf (from C standard library) would be worth a look as well.

Re: memcpy function location

The thing I wanted to point out is that linking to ucrtbase directly isn't supported and may cause your application to break in future . I'm aware that you can hardcode the "memcpy" (or any other) exported name in your application right now, but a future version of the DLL may only export ...

Re: memcpy function location

Address of memcpy in two locations. I don't really see what is this program is supposed to show us? One thing it definitely shows us is how to NOT use UCRT :P Linking ucrtbase directly is forbidden and might break your application, see https://mingwpy.github.io/ucrt.html for details (was referring ...

Re: memcpy function location

hm, I only tried a small example program so far. Could you try removing the # inclib "msvcrt" from crt.bi or replace it with # inclib "ucrt" ? is memcpy the only thing from the CRT you use explicitly in your code (not implicitly used by FB internally)? I'm not sure to which exten...

Re: memcpy function location

@coderJeff, do you think it would be possible to let FreeBASIC use a newer CRT, if just for a seperate build? The whole FreeBASIC team is doing a fantastic job and I couldn't possibly ask for more. But one can try. I'm not coderJeff :-) but out of interest I tried building a fbc version that links ...
