AboutAlex Barry Expertise I have been a qbasic programmer since 2000, creating games, minor libraries and various small programs. I have experience using interrupts, graphics, file input/output, the mouse cursor, and using libraries. I have also learned FreeBASIC, c/c++, python, php and html.
I do not claim to be an absolute authority in any language, but I don't mind looking things up and learning with you.
Experience Hobby programming since 2000
I no longer belong to any community programming groups, but do have knowledge of *basic dialects and C/C++
Question Hi Alex.
I am fairly new to FREEBASIC and have not written many programmes. I had version 4.6 and updated to version 4.7. Now only the very simple programmes work. Is there any way to make them run in version 4.7.
PS They are written using -s gui.
Thanks
Bill
Answer Hi, Bill,
I'm not sure what versions you are using. Right now, the compiler version is 0.20beta ...so I'm not sure where you are getting 4.6 and 4.7 (perhaps you are using a different basic dialect?)
But, to answer your question, I'll need some more information. What operating system are you using? How was freebasic installed (with the given installer from sourceforge, did you compile from source, install.sh [linux])? And, what programs are you trying to compile?
As a suggestion, this is what I'd do - first, completely get rid of FreeBASIC (uninstall, delete the folder it installed it)
Redownload the latest compiler version: http://freebasic.net/index.php/download
Install it, then try compiling. If you are still getting problems, you may have to compile with -dialect fblite or -dialect qb
If that doesn't help you out, just toss another question to me, and I'll be happy to help you out.
