FreeBasic SDK: first working example

**kryton9** · 21-09-2007, 22:56

Sorry for not participating in the tests, I am sort of staying away from other languages so I can focus on thinBasic and poweBasic with a clearer mind.

But in reading about Vista, new hardware in many cases being limited with drivers for Vista, if I need to make the switch to linux, it will be great to know can use freebasic to still develop for thinBasic if powerbasic doesn't make something for linux by then.

Kryton, you can't develop modules on Linux to use for thinBasic on Windows.

He might be able to if he uses WINE.

I havent tried it but would be interesting to see if thinbasic will run.

I couldn't get thinBasic to run under wine the last time I tried it, but I didn't dig into it.

Mike you are right of course, thanks.

I think it was possible to run thinBASIC under Linux,

some time ago I tried it with some old ( 3-4 years ? ) Knoppix live distribution.
There were some problems with thinAir richedit, but generally I think it worked.

I must try again with newer Linux.

Bye,
