Libraries

[Jeremy]

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.
