User Reviews

  • Very good compiler. Cross-platform. Can make Windows DLL and Linux SO, without changes at all. Installed and configured in Windows with Geany editor.
  • FreeBASIC is a wonderful version of BASIC with excellent interoperability with C. The syntax is easy to learn and the compiler is easy to set up. I have set up FreeBASIC on four of my computers, 2 PC's running Win 11 and 2 PC's running Lubuntu. One, of course, has to be familiar with using the command line and setting up the PATH to the compiler. If one is looking for an easy to set up all-in-one solution for Windows with the compiler 'built-in', then look for WinFBE by Paul Squires on Github.
  • Very good project : very useful
  • This compiler can be a very important 1st step to become programmer rather than simple MS Excel user with quick-basic built-int.
  • Nice FB2C++ convertor, just little help with main C dll and it is speed like direct written C. Without small help linked C dll support, is slower than JavaScript.
