unable to compile in Windows 10

[jiranz]

I moved from XP to 10. I skipped 7,8,etc. I have kept dual boot option in Windows 10 so can switch back to xp for now. All my programs that are compiled in XP work ok in Windows 10 but I can not get anything to compile in Windows 10. I get a popup that says FBTemp.exe and FBidetemp.exe have stopped working. I have tried both 32 and 64 versions of the compiler but maybe there is something I am doing wrong. I am not an advanced programmer. Is there a solution?

[srvaldez]

I just recently installed fb on my windows 10 PC and had no problems, but what I do is to install in c:\dev\FreeBASIC to avoid problems

[jiranz]

Since getting your reply I have created a new folder on the root drive called Freebasic64 into which I unzipped FreeBASIC-1.04.0-win64 and FBIde0.4.6r4
Next I copied a myprog.BAS file into the same folder.
In Win XP SP3 the 32 bit compiled version myprog.EXE runs correctly also in Win10.
In Win10 F9 in FBIDE compiles the bas file but a popup window appears "myprog.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available - close program" . I then get a black window with a flashing cursor top left.

There may be something other required when compiling in Windows 10?

[fxm]

Have you a warning message when you compile under Win10 (as "warning 23(2): Array too large for stack")?
I get this kind of Windows message ("program.exe has stopped working") since I have passed from WinXP to Win7.
Often it is linked with a system stack overflow.
(workaround for example: change the 'Dim' of a big array into a 'Dim Shared' or 'Redim').

[jiranz]

No warnings.

Just out of curiosity I setup a 32 bit Freebasic folder in Windows 10 and repeated the exercise with exactly the same result.
The popup indicates it must be a Windows issue?
I have researched permissions as much as I understand these things and tried a few suggestions but am no further ahead.

The results above relate to compiling with FBIDE F9 key. If I try the F5 key it reports that FBIDETEMP.exe stopped.
If I try with FBEDIT it says FBTEMP.exe was stopped.
If I try directly fbc myprog.bas then myprog.exe could not start.

Thanks for any ideas.

Some progress - I pulled out an old BAS program I wrote over 10 years ago (16 bit days) and it compiles OK. So it has to be my coding. Now I have to figure out what in my code is causing the problem. It must be something that FB 32 did ok in XP that Windows 10 64 will not tolerate. I have tried the DIM suggestion but it didn;t seem to make a difference.

Maybe I need another include file.
I use #lang "fblite" and #include "vbcompat.bi" at the top of every bas file because they allowed my crude programmng to actually work up until xp. Do I have to consider rewriting new code for compatibility in Windows 10. Oh Boy I hope not because of the drama I had going from 16 to 32 bit!

[dkl]

Maybe it's just a matter of making the code compatible to 64bit, i.e. eliminate 32bit assumptions. For example, sizeof(any ptr) and sizeof(integer) becomes 8, and thus pointers can't be stored into 4-byte Long variables anymore, and Integers don't correspond to 32bit pixels anymore. The exact issues varies between program though - it depends on your code.

[fxm]

Just out of curiosity I setup a 32 bit Freebasic folder in Windows 10 and repeated the exercise with exactly the same result.

I though have understood that he has also installed a fbc version 32-bit and obtained the same bad behavior?

[dkl]

Oh ok, in that case, it's probably not a 64bit porting issue.

[fxm]

I think that even always under 32-bit, the compiled file (.exe) is different depending on usage of fbc with WinXP or Win10.
So a bug previously dormant under WinXP can wake up under Win10!

Can you try to compile with option '-exx' to detect eventual runtime error?

[jiranz]

Can you try to compile with option '-exx' to detect eventual runtime error?

At the command prompt:
C:\Freebasic64>fbc -exx myprog.bas
C:\Freebasic64>

It produces the myprog.exe with no popup errors but the program will not run.
Should there be a runtime error file somewhere that could indicate where the problem exists?

[fxm]

Have you try then to execute it from the command prompt:
C:\Freebasic64>fbc -exx myprog.bas
C:\Freebasic64>myprog.exe

If your program is failing, you can get an idea of what is happening from the system event logs. I don't have Windows 10, but in Windows 8.1, 7, XP and 2000, you go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer. Your app is probably triggering an exception, likely an access violation exception where the exception code will show as 0xC0000005. You can find a listing of the codes in winnt.bi:

C:\Freebasic64>fbc -exx myprog.bas
C:\Freebasic64>myprog.exe
Aborting due to runtime error 2 (file not found) at line 1662 of myprog.bas::()
C:\Freebasic64>

1662

Code: Select all

open "logs\" + format$(logyear) + "_activity.log" for append as #11
  print #11,format$(now,"hh:mm:ss ddd dd-mmm yyyy") + space$(2) + logactivity$
  close #11

I suspect it is a false positive (not the real problem) because I commented out that entire section after which I got no further error report in the command but the compiled exe program still would not start .

[jiranz]

I think this might be the windows error reports why it does not run after compiling in Windows 10. Sorry if it is a bit long but I tried to find everything that might be relevant in the Events Log section.

I don't know how to read this information. Can anyone tell me if this reveals something that can be worked through?

I am also puzzled why the Reports at the bottom of this list say this is faulting on Windows 8 because I have a genuine Windows 10 clean install and have never had Windows 8 ever.
