Getting FreeBasic

FreeBasic is a 32-bit, cross-platform, QuickBasic compatible language. This page will talk about getting and installing it on the two main platforms of OHR Development (Windows and Linux). DOS32 is not supported.

Please use FreeBasic 0.23.0b. Older versions might work, but there is not really any good reason to use them.

Windows

1. Download FreeBasic 0.23.0
2. Run the installer.

Linux

Download and install one of the freebasic packages from http://www.freebasic.net/get

(James says: I don't understand the difference between the Tarball version and the Standalone Tarball version, but the standalone one has always worked well for me.)
