Before we strip off the requirements (like "monospace" and such), we should first see if the font exists on the drive, since we call the routine recursively looking for it. |

QB64
QB64 is a modern extended BASIC+OpenGL language that retains QB4.5/QBasic compatibility and compiles native binaries for Windows (XP and up), Linux and macOS.
Table of Contents
Installation
Download the appropriate package for your operating system over at https://github.com/QB64Team/qb64/releases.
Windows
Make sure to extract the package contents to a folder with full write permissions (failing to do so may result in IDE or compilation errors).
- It is advisable to to whitelist the QB64 folder in your antivirus/antimalware software *
macOS
Before using QB64 make sure to install the Xcode command line tools with:
xcode-select --install
The package comes with a precompiled qb64
binary that will run as is in macOS Catalina. For older versions of macOS, run ./setup_osx.command
to compile QB64 for your OS version.
Linux
The package comes with a precompiled qb64
binary that will run as is in most Debian-based distributions. For other distributions, compile QB64 with ./setup_lnx.sh
.
Dependencies should be automatically installed. Required packages include OpenGL, ALSA and the GNU C++ Compiler.
Usage
Run the QB64 executable to launch the IDE, which you can use to edit your .BAS files. From there, hit F5 to compile and run your code.
To generate a binary without running it, hit F11.
Additionally, if you do not wish to use the integrated IDE and to only compile your program, you can use the following command-line calls:
qb64 -c yourfile.bas
qb64 -c yourfile.bas -o outputname.exe
Replacing -c
with -x
will compile without opening a separate compiler window.
