compiled and uploaded the latest version (of the v1 branch), which is currently 8.44

tried to use the same config as the older version; untested; built with gcc 7.3.0 / msys2

if you were looking for pcre2 instead, which is currently at version 10.36, i compiled & uploaded that as well (same config/compiler):

Thank you very much St_W! Image

I'm too silly to compile a C/C++ code appropriately...

How to use these builds, on Windows? I downloaded the Win32 build, there is only ar, as, ld but no gcc at all. Does this need to be used in conjunction with a working mingw?

These builds seem to be stripped most of the includes. The standard fbc has more includes than them. They are just shipped with the most minimal possible includes. Does using them cause any problems? e.g: Missing includes?

Opened with 7zip. These seem to be build/cross compile from Windows, aren't they? How did you do it? I currently have questions about cross compiling for another platforms. Any pointers will be appreciated.

Recalling from my experience. Since these were built on Windows so the files inside the zip archive will not include POSIX permissions. This mean to run the binary on Linux, one have to chmod +x it first.

Has anyone news from St_W ?
His tech site (FB daily builds) 'http://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/builds/' has been down since about February 13, the same day as his last post.

Not I, it would be a terrible loss if no news.
If it appears he just moved code sharing site, I'd of course be please to update his link in lzle license terms.

Sorry for my (very) late reply.

I just saw/read about the issues with the builds and had a look to check the current state. Good thing is that the Jenkins build server itself seems to be running fine and seems to have built new binaries and CHM documentation files continuously without outages (this are the build dates for documentation CHM for example: https://imgur.com/josSrsH). I can reproduce the 404 when trying to access http://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/builds/ via HTTP, but it seems to work fine when accessing the site via HTTPS so please use the secure version https://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/builds/ instead. I don't operate the server for hosting the files, it is kindly provided by Sebastian (thanks!). FTPS upload from Jenkins build server worked reliably as well (just one random 426 server error once).
I do not create backups of the contents in http://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/builds/ directly, so in case of emergency (like the recent datacenter fire at OVH) some data would most likely be lost. But I do create backups of important things like the Jenkins build server configuration.

@Cretin Ho: the builds only include a minimal set of headers and binaries to reduce size. fbc for win32 used to default to -gen gas and therefore gcc wasn't needed, I guess it makes sense to add this or at least provide it as add-on package, like there is one for headers (https://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/b ... eaders.zip). Copying the latest build into a regular FreeBasic release as suggested by D.J.Peters will most likely work, but may cause issues if toolchains are different or incompatible.
Only the ARM builds are cross-compiled, all the other targets are built natively on the respective platform (see end of this post for OS versions: https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... 16#p276616). Linux file permissions are unfortunately lost, because the ZIP archive is packaged on Jenkins running on Windows (as I unfortunately don't have a "real" server available, which would most definitely run Linux then, but just a regular desktop PC running this beside other things).

The builds (fbc and manual) seem to be stuck (at https://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/builds/)
