| The FBtoC project was initiated to modernize FutureBASIC and its
components. The following is a brief overview of current directions and
status. Compiler Building the FBtoC translator and its integration with the gcc compiler was the first major task. FBtoC is currently a standalone application with a universal Mach-O binary. We plan to integrate it better with the FB editor to provide seamless compiling. From the editor, you will have the option of compiling through FBtoC or with the legacy FB compiler. Editor The current editor (FutureBASIC 4.4.2) is a CFM PowerPC application. It works satisfactorily on Intel Macs (running under Rosetta) in OS X 10.4 and 10.5. A project is under way to convert it to universal binary (Mach-O), as well as integrating it better with FBtoC. The FBtoC team welcomes feedback, and may be contacted by subscribing to the FB mailing list and posting with "FBtoC" in the subject line. Updated 2-February-2008 |
