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.

Somewhat compatible witn QBasic programs. Extremely slow for console I/O (PRINT TAB()).

There is no documentation other than a readme.txt, and the biggest problem I've found--and have had--is getting it to load and run. It's actually EASIER for me to recompile old programs using DosBox and QB45--as much as a pain as it is.

What is it? Can I get it to run on win8?
