FreeBASIC for Apple OS

hello limpingninja
I appreciate the feedback, this upload was primarily meant to hopefully make it easier for you to build your own FB, if anyone should upload a Mac binary to GitHub would be either coderJeff or TeeEmCee

If there is a binary package that is worthwhile to publish, I'm sure we could find a place to put it.

Otherwise, I think TeeEmCee knows about this stuff as it relates to fb better than anyone I know.

Mac/darwin/powerpc/etc is all foreign to me, I don't have any hardware, and never had much luck setting up an emulator for anything that might help develop fb on this platform. I spent a bunch of time on trying, but didn't have the skillz to get anywhere useful with it.

I agree that TeeEmCee is the one qualified for a Mac release
I have seen videos about installing Mac OS in a VM in Linux, and it just might work as they claim but I am not gutsy enough to do it, it clearly violates the Apple license, the script they mentioned was sosumi which I guess stands for "so sue me"

Thank you to srvaldez for the binaries! I switched to a MacBook Air a few years back and after a few attempts at using a Linux VM to run FB I gave up and stopped using FB for awhile.

Is there a git branch for porting RtLib or GfxLib to MacOS that would take contributions? I'd love to be contribute

Do you think the BSD version works on macOS as well?

Hi srvaldez,
I'm on macOS Monterey 12.7.5, and having this problem:

Code: Select all

print "Hello world from FBC..."

Let's compile it:

Code: Select all

$ fbc hello.bas -o hello
ld: library not found for -lgcc 

I already have Xcode Command Line Tools installed, BTW.

try to type in the shell "gcc " and press enter MacOS will suggest you to try to install it

This is a linker error message, so the tools are already installed. Please check gcc's -L option.
