Hello,
so I want to create an environment to create a project under windows. I've installed the binary which was very easy
(btw, under linux mint there was a problem with libreadline7 being a requirement so the deb package wouldn't install and I had to compile from source which brought issues with imagemagic and ghostscript. Would you consider releasing an appimage or something? ).
Now since I want to be able to run the programs I create there seems to be an issue with calling xbasic.exe test.bas.
'xbasic' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Does anyone have any idea how this is supposed to work? I have both linux and windows environments running and I would like to be able to develop on both of them.
Thanks in advance
Well there is actually an installation package for X11-Basic on WINDOWS. It is on codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/kollo/X11Basic/releases
Maybe this is what you want?
Hey, long time no see. There seems to be an issue with the documentation web pages. For example, clicking on the link to xbasic(1) from https://x11-basic.sourceforge.net/ybasic.1.html yields a 404 error.
Yes, this is exactly what I used and it is installed correctly
But my issue is that I can't run my programs from my project folder unless I open x11basic and type
load "g:/fullpath/test.bas"
I just wonder if there is an easier way to launch x11basic and the program under windows. A single command if you will.
Something like that will speed up my development time. I actually chose x11basic for this project because I need to do this project fast and I think that my familiarity with GFA (and X11) will help a lot.
You'll want to look at xbbc and xbvm to the middle right here:
https://x11-basic.sourceforge.net/x11basic.html
Also perhaps xbc if you have a C compiler set up on your system
xbasic.exe and the others are typically installed here,
