FBXL Social

FBXL has always been a FreeBASIC site, first and foremost. If you go to fbxl.net, you'll get to see the ancient FBXL magazine which hasn't been updated in 20 years.

So I'm proud to announce the first fruits of a major project I've been working on for several months now:

https://deb.fbxl.net/

I've been creating a build environment that lets me build for every platform FreeBASIC supports, and then some.

Linux (currently Debian/Ubuntu)
cygwin (as a package)
mingw (as a universal installer)
freebsd
netbsd
openbsd
dragonfly
solaris
macosx (Intel only)

And for the first time ever, FreeBASIC is packaged for Haiku.

As far as I know, these should all install, and they should also support gfxlib.

I'm pretty proud of it. I believe I'm the single person who has compiled to more FreeBASIC platforms than anyone else at this point.

Wherever I could, I also tried to have them bring in whatever dependencies are required.

Can I guarantee they're going to work perfectly? No. I've tested them, but the focus was getting the full matrix built and packaged. There may still be rough edges.
