Guys, I've just spent an hour trying to figure this out,
and I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but I'm
about to toss this laptop out the window any minute now.
Please tell me what in the !@#(*$& am I supposed to do
after installing FB14 to get anything to compile? With
Jellyfish, it appears to compile, shows you the green round
dot in the corner, pops up the dialogue box with OK, but produces no .EXE.
With FBIDE, I get "compilation failed", and no more info about why not.
With FBC from the command line, I get
C:\FB14\FreeBasic\bin\win32\ld.exe: cannot find -lfbx
I haven't figured out what FBX is?
It seems from a number of posts that there has been some issues
with path settings and FPP, etc. There was no INSTALL.BAT with
FB14, and the LIB directory is there after the install completed so
I don't know what else I'm supposed to be doing. I'd like to spend
some time on this today, so I'd appreciate it if someone could
document what I'm doing wrong or not doing. I am using the
include file VBCOMPAT.BI, and I have that as well as STRING.BI
and DATETIME.BI in the main folder with FBC as well as in the LIB
and INC subdirectories.
