Hello, I am trying to compile one of the sample programs included in the library but it does not compile. Here is the error:

Code:
C:\FREEBA~1>fbc primitivesTest32.bas -s gui -i .\ QB_gfx_main.o QB_gfx_text.o QB_gfx_pal.o -l sdl

gfxmain.bi(87) : Error 25: Expected identifier, found: 'screen'

Yes, I included qbgfx4fb.bi and sdl.bi in the program. And line 87 in gfxmain.bi is:

Code:
declare function screen stdcall alias "fb_GfxScreen" (ScreenNum as integer) as integer

Why won't it compile?

Because FreeBASIC now has that library built in. There's no need to include qbgfx4fb.bi anymore, you can now use screen, pset, etc just like in QB.

Example

Code:
screen 256, 256, 32

for red = 0 to 255

   for green = 0 to 255

      pset (red, green), rgb(red, green, 255 - red)

   next green

next red

flip

do: sleep 50: loop until len(inkey$)
