Hello,
I have two issues:
1. I'm confused about what file I should download to write and compile a Freebasic file:
Code: Select all
FreeBASIC-1.09.0-win32.7z 2022-01-01 19.0 MB 6
fbc-1.09.0-win32.7z 2022-01-01 3.2 MB 1
winlibs-gcc-9.3.0 2022-01-01 438
win32-mingworg 2022-01-01 2
2. When unzipping FreeBASIC-1.09.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0.7z, I get: "Disk read error!" at some point.
Thank you.
Hi, if you are using Windows I suggest you download the self-executing version FreeBASIC-1.09.0-win32.exe to proceed with the first installation, then if your system is Windows 64bit you can download FreeBASIC-1.09.0-win64.zip and replace the contents of the installation folder with files for 64bit system.
Obviously, unless you expressly need to compile a program for 64bit architecture you can very well continue to use the 32bit version.
ps.
Very important, FreeBASIC is a compiler not an IDE so if you need to use software that helps you write code for FreeBASIC I recommend using Geany available for Windows and Linux
