FreeBasic Portable

FreeBasic Portable is a development tool designed to help you compile programs by processing BASIC source code. The package also includes code samples that enable you to test its functionality and features.

Compile your lines of code with ease

One of the most important steps in software development is to build the executable files that can be accessed by the end user. A compiler is required for processing the source code and creating the executable file.
FreeBasic Portable aims to provide you with a compiler that is able to create 32 bit applications by using the BASIC source code. You can use this tool from the command line or by calling it from the IDE used to create the source code.

More tools to help you out

Although the compiler is the main component, the package also includes an archiver, linker and assembler which make it possible to generate a working program.
If you are using the application for the first time, you should take some time to get accustomed with the available commands and the command line syntax. The documentation includes details about running and configuring the compiler as well as a full description of the FreeBASIC language.
However, the documentation is not included in the package and you need to download it from the developer’s website.
Besides the compiler, the distribution includes a set of examples and libraries that allow you to experiment and create the executable. Thus, you can test the compiler by building command line utilities, GUI applications and database related apps.

To end with

If you are using the FreeBASIC language to create applications, the FreeBASIC Compiler is a must have tool.
