You'll need FreeBASIC 0.16b to compile GCBASIC. When I compiled GCBASIC on Ubuntu I found that some required libraries were not installed by default, so be prepared to spend some time with Synaptic.
I've made use of variable suffixes ($, %), which the newer versions don't like. I'm currently removing these, and will let everyone know when they're all gone and GCBASIC can compile with FB 0.18.
There are a few issues with GCBASIC on Linux at present, mostly caused by bugs related to the "dir" command in 0.16 which have since been fixed. You'll probably need to comment out any uses of the FreeBASIC "dir" command for now.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Can I compile GCB? I would like to compile it for linux debian ubuntu...
I think yes, you need freebasic I think, and whatever else taht might want too! The source is in basic of course!....?
thanks thats awesome I thank you for your time.

GCBASIC now compiles and runs on Ubuntu Linux with FreeBASIC 0.18.
The latest source is included in the file http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/newfiles/update-nochipdata.zip
Wow thats awesome! cool job developers. Did you make a make file to automate it? It might make things easy
There probably isn't a need for a makefile, is there? Compiling GCBASIC is just a matter of typing "fbc gcbasic.bas" in the terminal.
wow I didn't know it was that easy. Great! Humm no linux download avalable maby I could look into what it would take to make it into a deb package.
