The make_clickable function only does urls that have spaces on either side
. So you could have added a space after the [*]
. But that's off topic, so I'll shut up now
I was wondering however - we all know about the QB45 archive. Well, how about adding a batch file for manual compiling to it? And a note saying how it's used and why it's better than compiling from the IDE?

That would be quite useful. That's what the FAQ is there for. If I had the time I'd modify moneo's to add extended error managing and stuff like that which may come handy... But I'm short of time

Well, if somebody does do it send it to me...

yes, that's an idea. manual compiling tutorials are scarce, so it would be nice to have. i would, but i've barely even scratched the surface. maybe if i research more...
bah, i looked, and my library doesn't have ANY books on qbasic or quickbasic. (they couldn't even order them in.)
oh, btw, it was an easy fix. I'm quite embarrassed. all i had to do was add a '$dynamic at the beginning... :oops:

The best way to do manual compilation IMO is to write a Makefile and use gcc's make with it. (For the uninformed and un-*nix'ed
, make is just a utility to build programs; it is usually used with C and C++, but this is not required.)

Nathan, What do you mean by "extended error managing"? Do you think I need to add this to my compiling batchfiles?

Nah, you don't need that. It is just for completion and uber-mega-nitpicking work. I mean looking the different error codes and acting in consequence. Just for the sake of it, your batch files are enough.
What I don't like is the fact that you have to change directories and call indirectly different batch files, but that's just me. I prefer staying where I am and doing everything "from home"

Nathan, It's been 10 years since I set up my batchfiles for compiling. At the time I had problems with compiling programs "from home" when the BC, LINK, SMALLERR and QuickPak Library were in another directory called QB45. So I devised the method to:
* save the directory where I am, via a little prog that I wrote invoked by the first batchfile.
* copy the source to QB45.
* call the second batchfile to do the compile and link.
* come back and copy the .EXE to the original directory.
* detect and display errors.
The end result is the same as your approach, i.e., compile from anywhere.

Man, I'm not saying that your way is bad, I am just saying that my way is different.

Why don't you post "your way" --- maybe I might learn something.
