#978 Command line switch -target xbox doesn't work
When I use the command line switch "-target xbox", it gives me the error that it can't find the path called bin\xbox\as.exe
Where do I get this exe file? I assume it's different than the normal as.exe that is used for compiling for Windows. Is it a hacked version of the compiler that can't legally be distributed with FreeBasic, so I will need to go to some shady website to get a copy of it? If it is legal, please make this command line switch work.
Sorry for the slow reply.
I looked around and apparently the last time the xbox port was working was 2005. It's been broken since 2007 at least. Note that port is for the original Xbox! If you want to compile for a modern Xbox I think that would be a new port of FB to UWP with nothing in common with the old one. I'd like to do such a port but don't have time and have never owned an XBox anyway.
To answer your question (not that it helps at all unless you switch to a FB version from 2005), bin\xbox\as.exe is apparently part of the OpenXDK toolchain which you have to install separately. See https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=118742#p118742
