marja11 I'm working on it, but it's a bit odd in that we need two tarballs to get the manual as well as the base package. CC:

zen25000 I just hit a potential brick wall. FreeBASIC is written in (yep you guessed) FreeBASIC. We need to use a pre-compiled binary of FreeBASIC (which is in the tarball) to build it, however we do have the source. Importing a pre-built binary is against Mageia policy, so unless an exception could be made it's a show-stopper. We could import intermediate asm files from which to build the freebbasic compiler binary to do the build. Would that be acceptable? @marja Could you please cc whoever you think best to make a decision on this - thanks.

I heard you did a lot of bootstrapping to get Mageia started :) CC:

misc Link to project web site:- http://www.freebasic.net/ Is there any decision about this "pre-built binary" problem? Seems not. I did chat with upstream when I was last looking at this package and it seems that this issue is a show stpper for several distros, not just us. Ok, do we have the same "problem" with GCC? Does this compiler write in C? Freebasic is now available in Cauldron. Status:
