freebasic

I’m trying to get freebasic working. What (if any) are the corresponding libs for these?

from FreeBasic manual

Did you check the Octopi?

Why going the Debian/Ubuntu way?

Also in the Octopi Aur is fbc FreeBasic Compiler and a git version.
And wxfbe which is a FreeBasic IDE based on wx-c.

cool! I think I need to system upgrade because I get this error:
fbc: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

my isp is slow and i have 650 megs to download so will check back in a few hours

Now now coder myself just a master Googler! :stuck_out_tongue:

This should create the correct symlinks and fix that error:

yaourt -S libtinfo

Yep listen to AJ as he knows this stuff much deeper understanding than me.

Thank you both.

@AJSlye - first didn’t, second did

cp -r /etc/skel/.config/menus .config
