FreeBasic 0.23.0

[AlejandroPadrino]

Hello to all members,

I'm trying to make .tcz extension for FreeBasic 0.23.0.

In first time, errors are requesting next files ...

as
libbfd-2.2.1.0-system.20110327.so
libopcodes-2.2.1.0-system.20110327.so

Package as86.tcz does not include that files.  I was get that files from my /usr/bin and /usr/lib folders into Ubuntu hard drive.  But after this is requesting me for next files ...

crt1.o
crtbegin.o
crtend.o
crti.o
crtn.o
gcrt1.o
libgcc.a
libsupc++.a

Which .tcz packages contains that files?

Thanks.

You need the compiletc meta-extension

Hello Juanito,

I was load compiletc & gcc packages.  Still not run.  It shows me that don't found next files ...

crt1.o
crti.o
crtn.o
gcrt1.o

But that files are installed in /lib folder.  Any solve?

Thank you.

Hi AlejandroPadrino
All you should need is the  compiletc  package. It includes GCC, assembler, etc. Do not load GCC
separately.

But that files are installed in /lib folder.  Any solve?

Those files should appear in  /usr/lib  when  compiletc is loaded.

Thank you, Rich.  Problems was solved.   

Steps for loading FreeBasic manually:

1) Load compiletc.tcz package.
2) Load ncurses-dev.tcz package.
3) Run 'sudo FreeBASIC-0.23.0-linux.run install' from original source file.
4) Get a copy of 'as' assembler file and put it into '/usr/bin' folder.
5) Get a copy of 'libopcodes-2.2.1.0-system.20110327.so' and 'libbfd-2.2.1.0-system.20110327.so' files, and put them into '/usr/lib' folder.

Now you can compile and run FreeBasic projects.

Best.

Hi AlejandroPadrino
Glad to hear you got it working.

4) Get a copy of 'as' assembler file and put it into '/usr/bin' folder.

Sounds like  freebasic  has that path hard coded instead of searching the standard paths. Compiletc
puts the assembler under  /usr/local/bin  which is in the standard path.

Hello Rich,

Really GNU Assembler steps posted before are not needed, I was test now.  GNU Assembler included into compiletc.tcz package runs fine.  To run FreeBasic in TinyCore only requires first three steps.

1) Load compiletc.tcz package.
2) Load ncurses-dev.tcz package.
2) Load ncurses.tcz package.
3) Run 'sudo FreeBASIC-0.23.0-linux.run install' from original source file.

Edited:  I was found a bug.  Can't compile and link using ncurses-dev.tcz.  The bug was solved changing ncurses-dev.tcz with ncurses.tcz.  Package freebasic.tcz ready to submit, and tested with "Hello world" application.

Best.
