Thank-you and no worries, not a problem. Please see RecentChanges.
If there is anything you would like to see expanded on, I will try my best.

If you don't mind reviewing the updates for formatting, missing links, ordering of sections, etc, that would be a big help!

hey fxm, happy new year Latest changes add TeeEmCee's android branch (a fork of fbc 1.06). - which adds support for compiling and linking with android's native development kits (ndk). - So far we have tested android-ndk-r12b and android-ndk-r16b, 2 versions of the android ndk - more recent versions ...

It was two posts under that one. Nevertheless, I did it. Here's a diff to current master. Thank-you! That looks good to me for the focus event handling. I'll add and test one more bit (below), because it worked for a bit, and then didn't, which was really weird because even restarting all terminals...

So I'd prefer to wget the boot-binary directly wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/fbc/FreeBASIC-1.10.2-debian12-armhf.tar.xz This implements that this file is garanteed to be available long-term. yes, FreeBASIC-1.10.2-debian12-armhf.tar.xz, can stay posted on sourceforge.net re: FreeBASIC-1.10....

There is a tiny modification for the armv6 build, e.g. described here: https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=297332#p297332 Most recent changes should not break this modification that you make. However, in fbc-1.20 you should now also be able to do: $ make DEFAULT_CPUTYPE_ARM=FB_CPUTYPE_A...

build.sh doesn't manage packages, and doesn't build .deb / .rpm packages. I don't think it is the place for it. build.sh also caches downloads for reuse, and other things that probably only I would use (like trial releases from a local repository instead of the public one, etc). Once the .deb packag...

I tried to fix a while ago, but the fix was reported as not good, so had to revert. It still needs a solution.

Found a further way to auto-detect -march: $ gcc -Q --help=target | grep march -march= armv7-a+fp Regards related ... I've been reviewing some of TeeEmCee's branches and I see he has made additions there to probe gcc for various kinds of information so that fbc can know how to call gcc at runtime. ...

Found some time to test, here's what I did: That's awesome! Thank-you for the excellent detail. A relief for me that it worked for you because tbh, I didn't want to build it again just now ;). I will go ahead and merge fbc-1.10.2 changes to fbc-1.20. I'm satisfied that there is a decent base to mov...

That sounds about right - with maybe one step that needs to get worked out differently in the future (see below), but I think your steps should work for you now with the assets uploaded to sourceforge. I appreciate you working on getting freebasic to a distro with a properly maintained package. I di...

Hopefully this can work for you: - FreeBASIC-1.10.2 (ARM only) release If you can test and it works, I can add to the news release, thanks ---- I looked at allowing fbc to default to 'native' but fbc is not well suited to work this way to have 'native' specifically as a default. Background informat...

However, the change log indicates that bass.bi was updated. I tried it. Some symbols in 2.24.17 (the latest version of bass) were not defined in 1.10.1 bass.bi. I'm not sure what happened there, but looks like it was overwritten with an older version. Until I can figure out how to repair this (beca...

There is no builtin function to do this. But you can kind of make one by repeating 4 times by 4 times (4 ^ 4 = 256) #define REP4(s) ((s)+(s)+(s)+(s)) #define REP256(s) REP4(REP4(REP4(REP4(s)))) Const TwoChars = "Er" '' constant string (like a literal) const c as string = REP256( TwoChars )...

Later dkl implemented our results in the mainstream source. It worked fine, until the -march option gets set in the gcc call. Now it only works when I explicitely set native target. -march=armv7-a has been passed to gcc since year 2014. Have you had to explicitly set native target all this time? Th...
