Description Sam 2005-06-21 09:12:11 UTC
Hello,
FreeBASIC is a Open Source BASIC variant with a syntax quite close to that of
Microsoft's QBASIC.  It has it's own QB-like graphics library, but it can also
utilize libraries such as SDL, OpenGL, and GTK+.
I'm suggesting dev-lang/freebasic.

Attached is an ebuild script.

ebuild for freeBASIC
Comment 2 Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-04 09:07:40 UTC
Source based distro... should be using the upstream source, and compiling it. :)

FreeBasic-0.14b

Updated (working) ebuild for FreeBasic.
Comment 4 Ossi Rosten 2005-11-11 11:35:29 UTC
Last one is binary too:( It's also mine first ebuild.

libfb-0.15b.ebuild

libfb ebuild... needed by fbc.

fbc-0.15b.ebuild

fbc is written in BASIC, so we also need the binary distribution for the first compilation.

fbc has the paths of some of the libaries it links abainst (crt1.o, crtbegin.o, crtend.o, crti.o, crtn.o) hard-coded in the source code, so when we first compile it with binary distribution it links against the libraries found in it. In order to get it to link against the system libraries, we compile it a second time with the newly produced binary. Please note that I don't know what those *.o libraries are, or if it's important or not... this just seemed like the most sensible solution to me.

I also introduced FBCFLAGS in this ebuild, which I intended to be something similar to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS but for FreeBASIC. fbc already has some default flags set up in the makefile (-arch 486) which should work for most users. If they want more optimisations they can just FBCFLAGS="-arch 686" emerge fbc for example.

I'm not a Gentoo developer or anything, but I'm willing to maintain this package, and I'm currently doing so in an overlay.

That said, fbc should be put into dev-lang/fbc rather than dev-lang/FreeBASIC and libfb should be dev-libs/libfb instead of sys-libs/libfb

Overlay is at http://svn.ignition-project.com/hamsterrific/trunk/ if anyone cares.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

Gentoo really needs something like Archlinux's AUR.

Archlinux have this package since 2007 in AUR and its still up to date and working.

This Bug was reportet 2005 and Gentoo still does not have this package.

Just run into it today as one of the employee here in the company needed it.

fbc-1.05.0.ebuild

Update to the latest version based on Cmapuk ebuild and found the way to compile the program without having it previously installed using the precompiled binary and a couple of commands from the Makefile.
I've also noted that at the end of the compilation, emerge shows me the following warning:

Anyway I have compiled some example programs with fbc installed and so far I have had no problems.
Finally, I think it's important to clarify that my system is 32 bits, so it would be necessary to check that the ebuild works correctly in a 64 bits installation.
