Libraries - Jeremy - 01-21-2006

Can someone tell me how to use libraries? I know what they are, and what they do, but have never used them in QB. (I want to use them in FB)

Also, how do I make my own libraries?

Hello Jeremy,
you need an include file *.bi to declare the function/subs
the sourcecode of the lib *.bas

mylib.bi

Code:
declare myfunc(byval parameter as integer) as integer

inclib "mylib"

mylib.bas

Code:
#include "mylib.bi"

myfunc(byval arg1 as integer) as integer

  return arg1+1

end function

fbc -lib mylib.bas

Code:
'testmylib.bas

#include "mylib.bi"

print myfunc(1)

fbc testmylib.bas
testmylib

i wrote it online not tested but this is the way to build and use libs in FB.
take a look in the FreeBASIC/examples/lib folder.
