How to install FreeBASIC












1















I installed FreeBasic under Ubuntu 14 using the provided shell installer,
and received a message that the installation was successful. BUT when I
attempt to run the compiler it gives a list of missing "-dev" files,
only two of which I was able to locate in repositories. The installation
readme indicates that some of the listed dependencies may have different
NAMES in some Linux dialects. How do I locate them in Ubuntu 14 ????

            The FreeBASIC wiki (specifically, http://freebasic.net/wiki/DevBuildLinux) describes how to get FB to compile on Linux, and suggests the following packages:




            • gcc

            • make

            • libncurses5-dev

            • libgpm-dev

            • libx11-dev

            • libxext-dev

            • libxpm-dev

            • libxrandr-dev

            • libxrender-dev

            • libgl1-mesa-dev

            • libffi-dev


            You can install them all in one command with:



            sudo apt install gcc make lib{ncurses5,gpm,x11,xext,xpm,xrandr,xrender,gl1-mesa,ffi}-dev


            Some of the packages may only be needed if you actually plan to build the FreeBASIC compiler and runtime libraries from scratch. But they are at least sufficient for getting programs to compile and run with fbc.
