QB64 Discussion / Q1: about QB64 and Raspberry Pi.
« on: July 07, 2020, 04:27:42 pm »
Is there a detailed manual how to install QB64 on a Raspberry Pi?
You don't offer an executable or installation package for download, but I suspect the Linux package has all it needs to re-compile from source.
I also found traces of people who did it, but had problems with the memory/swapspace, and who directed it to an external USB-device instead of the SD-card. But I couldn't find how it had to be done. Also, in what order ? first execute the install script, or first re-compile the source ?

It translates BASIC code into C/C++ code, and compiles it into stand alone exe files, which you can run on any of the systems I mentioned above.I don't care how it works. It's good to know, but unimportant. My goal is to write code and have a fast return.

I hope you get up and running, QB64 is fun! Do you have Windows?I have Windows, Linux and Raspbian.

There is no thing like the real hardware, to get the feeling of bygone days. Though some emulators are pretty good.
That's why I'm looking for a BASIC to run on modern systems.
And that's what my first question is (will be) about.

Hello,
As usual on most forums, I'm introducing myself.
BTW, Sometimes there's a section for introductions, I haven't seen it here. Sorry if I post this in the wrong section.
My name is Jan, I live in the city of Leuven, in the flemish part of Belgium. As a kid, I got into contact with microcomputers with the TRS-80 Model I of my brother. I still have that computer, and it still runs. (now you can guesstimate my age) Later on, I started collecting TRS-80 and Tandy computers, and at one time, I almost had them all. All the models ever sold in Belgium, that is. But over the last couple of years, I got rid of some, and donated most of them to the homecomputermuseum.nl in Helmond. They now have the biggest collection of TRS-80/Tandy computers in Europe, maybe even the world. But you can see, from my avatar to my sig, that I still hold on to that TRS-80 heritage, just as to the core of my collection.
I also rolled into an IT profession - originally a lab-tech - and had to focus mainly on Windows. (2nd line support) That changed a few years ago, when I decided to broaden my horizon and learn new programming languages and environments. Java, Python, Linux, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, have passed my focus. At home, because at work they don't deviate from the industry standards.
A search for a BASIC language on the Raspberry Pi - and a row on facebook - brought me here, again. Again, because a few months ago, I put QB64 on my shortlist for another problem I had, at work.
Now, I am happy I found this site and this forum, and I hope you can help me to fill in the gaps of my knowledge.
Where do I post my questions ?
Regards,
