User Reviews

  • Been using this compiler for some years its really good BUT.... Down side "PNG FILES"! - And yes i looked at the forums and documentation, no success with resolving the png lib issue and some other 3-rd party libs (not all) seem to be problems with, keep getting errors, recently. Can't understand why the developer(s) won't just package fixed libs such AS; png lib(s) in the main release, when fixed, because license wise it would not be an issue. For higher than 8-bit graphics going to still stick with C++ and sdl, with the gcc, which i find far more less stressful and at ease compared to FreeBasic for my main projects. An other thing i notice for a long time not much tutorials on Open GL with this software, but again people may as well just use C++ and GULT. Overall would be great if the dev ADDED PNG LIB FIXED AND PACKAGED, IN THE NEXT RELEASE!
