compiling FBIde on linux

[Nexinarus]

Could somebody please help me to compile FbIde on linux?

Following the article guide here for compiling FbIde 0.4: http://fbide.freebasic.net/index.php?menuID=66 it just outright fails (with wxgtk 2.6.x)

When i do a make, it gives a whole lot of nonsense:

nick@nick-workpc:~/fbide/FBIde/FBIde0.4$ make

When I get the sources for fbide 0.5 & fbide 2.0, one has a windows-only makefile, and 2.0 has no makefile at all!

I thought the point of using wxWidgets is that you dont have to worry about system-dependent things. It would be lovely if somebody could fix the source trees of FbIde so that it actually compiles, and easily, on win & linux. Perhaps this is why FbIde died after vongodric left. However it is still a very nice ide.

I think the reason nobody replied to your post, is because nobody currently active on FB has compiled Fbide on Linux. A few people tried, but I don't recall anybody who succeeded 100%.

Well, I was helping VonGodric with fbide on linux, but I haven't had a net connection at home for quite awhile. Prolly be another month or so before I do. I can't remember whether the SVN version of my ide muddyide will compile ( I know it has some issues ) but you could give it a try. I should be able to get my laptop online in a couple days and I'll upload a little project I've been working on that may help ya so look for a post about it in the Projects sub-forum soon.

*edit*
Muddyide is on google code @ http://muddyide.googlecode.com

Turns out if you search the web for "lthis was not declared in this scope", this is the only thing that comes up!

You may not be interested to know, I started looking at this recently, compiling FBIde 0.4.6 in Ubuntu 12.04 (requires 'apt-get install g++ libwxgtk2.6-dev libpng-dev')

Most of the problems probably stem from it being developed on a non-Unicode platform. This has caused two problems:
- For Unicode builds, all string literals must be wrapped in _T() or wxT(), which prepends an 'L' to the literal, e.g. L"Hello World".
(I think this is no longer necessary in wx 3.x)
This causes the ambiguous conversions from const char [N] to wxString.

- The _T()/wxT() macros must not be used around non-literal strings! Presumably do nothing on non-Unicode builds, but on Unicode builds, they just prepend 'L', which clearly isn't what is desired.
This causes references to things like 'Lthis' to appear in the compiler output.

I have uploaded these fixes (plus a few more) to Github, under the tag 'wx2.6':
https://github.com/countingpine/fbide/commits/wx2.6

This gets FBIde compiling/running under Ubuntu 12.04 (soon to be end of life!). It may work on other versions, but they need to have libwxgtk2.6-dev installed, which is very old now. I've been able to get it compiling but not linking with future versions.

But in any case, I believe I may be the first person to compile a version of FBIde within the last decade :)
