Don't worry the comment wasn't being aimed at anyone in particular. I've re-discovered the original Basic4GL for Linux Thread from 2006 here. I thought it would be interesting to see how Supermonkey & Davy solved some of the issues that they were having. |

Thats going back now haha, I sound so young back then. I remember there being a headache around SDL, it might of been on the wiki. you might have to check with supermonkey.
I've found QT to seem to work better but I will try and see If I can get it running on windows and linux as well.

Well so far I haven't been able to get wxwidgets to work but I'll give it another stab seeing as I've discovered codeblocks has a template for it now which is pretty sweet. Thank You |

The issue I have is a few years back I swapped my main OS from being windows to mac. I could try running wxdevc++ under wine or something. Hopefully both codeblocks and wxdevc++ will be able to complie the same code as they should use the wxwidgets compiler program |

Actually I find writing for the Mac easier than Linux or Windows (The Win32 API is horrible) its just when it comes to writing cross-platform C++ code it gets complicated as macs like the UI code to be in Obj-C, unlike windows which doesn't care whether its in C# or C++ as it has apis for both. The issue is that Apple's xCode sucks outside of writing a program that uses their compiler and primarily their APIs but I've got other IDEs installed now so all good Yeah If I had more space on my new laptop I would dual boot linux or even invest in a virtual machine from VMWare but I don't have the money. But I plan to buy myself a desktop machine since I gave my old one away to my parents and I miss the processing power (although my laptop is about as powerful as my old desktop) so I'm considering putting windows and mac on it On the plus side having a mac means I can help getting this project onto mac |

Hey hey everybody! Long time no see: cool to see the project getting new life. I'm still coding quite a bit (and hopefully I've improved a bit over the 5 or so years since I last used B4GL... I vaguely remember asking questions on this forum about how to use "arrays" caus I didn't know what they where I'll keep an eye on the project (is the main branch on Github now??), but I won't be contributing much code I'm afraid. I have a couple of projects going that I'd prefer to send my attention to! Cheers, -Harry |

I'll keep an eye on the project (is the main branch on Github now??), Yes I have set up a repo here which hopefully should be kept up to date by all the contributors. github.com/jcampbell05/Basic4GL |
