Feature request:pre-built library for Win 64bit. #12

Closed LukyGuyLucky closed 8 months ago

To some of the user/learner like me,it is really really a difficult challenge to make a 64 bit compiled library (tried several times during the past) also I am so eager to try this great libray.So it would be grateful ,just as a demonstration example,if a windows 64 bit pre-built library(libs) could be provided as well.

Below is the build result when I tried to use build.bat (modified FBC=fbc64.exe):

E:\Learning\FreeBasic\fb-ext-lib-master>build lib                                                           

E:\Learning\FreeBasic\fb-ext-lib-master>fbc64.exe -lib -x bin\ext "src\*.o" "src\fbpng\*.o" "src\bits\*.o" "
src\container\*.o" "src\conv\*.o" "src\gfx\*.o" "src\hash\*.o" "src\math\*.o" "src\sort\*.o" "src\stringex\*
.o" "src\strings\*.o"                                                                                       
E:\Learning\FreeBasic\WinFBE\toolchains\FreeBASIC-1.20.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0\bin\win64\ar.exe: src\*.o: Invali
d argument                                                                                                  

E:\Learning\FreeBasic\fb-ext-lib-master>pause                                                               
Press any key to continue . . .

It is really great to have this library,so that the learner can use library with fb in almost an integrated environment.

Thanks and best regards.

That build batch file is severely outdated and hasn't worked for awhile. I have removed it. Per the Readme please refer to the HACKING file for directions on how to build from source. Additionally due to the state of the project I can't recommend it for beginners at the moment, there are issues remaining with supporting modern versions of FreeBASIC in 32bit mode. I request your patience with me, I'm the only one working on this at the moment. I'll be setting up a Discord or something in the next couple days to ease collaboration and to provide a place for new users and beginners to learn FreeBASIC and the Extended Library.
