freebasic 1.09.0 (ubuntu 20.04) deb package

Post by Coolman »

I generated a deb package of freebasic 1.09.0 in a lxd container (ubuntu 20.04). here are the steps for those who are interested :

I had the deb package of freebasic 1.08, I installed it in the container :

sudo dpkg -i fbc_1.08-1_amd64.deb

create a directory for compilation, position yourself in it :

git clone https://github.com/freebasic/fbc.git
cd fbc
make

a compilation error related to libtinfo has occurred, you need to install :

sudo apt install libtinfo-dev libncurses5

after compilation, create a deb package with checkinstall (sudo apt install checkinstall) :

sudo checkinstall -D --fstrans=yes --install=no

man checkinstall for more details...

I use this method because the debs packages are very easy and fast to install and uninstall on many computers...

note that the package created is very light and contains only what is necessary (no doc or man file)...

the deb package of freebasic 1.09.0 is downloadable here :

install :
sudo dpkg -i fbc_1.09.0-1_amd64.deb

uninstall :
sudo dpkg -r fbc

please note that the file will be available only for 30 days...

congratulations to the freebasic maintainers, they do a great job...
