Hey Lee, 
Since you open-sourced the code, I'm working on porting this over to Linux.

Just thought you would like to know.

cheers,

correct me if i'm wrong ... but dark basic supports only directx ... not opengl 
.... even if you port the IDE to linux ... thr is a long way to go before it 
could be of any use on linux ....

gallium3d's direct3d state tracker might make this usefull .. but even that is 
currently in a mess.. with no linux support ...

the only use-case i can see is having a native client to build the games n then 
testing them on wine or a windows VM

again.. correct me i am wrong.. i'll be more than happy to have a fully 
functional native linux-opengl port of dark basic pro that can make 
cross-platform games ...

You are right about dark basic only support directx. On top of that much of the 
code is Windows-specific since most of this code compiles into DLLs. 

Despite this, the port will be completely native to linux.

It will be a long road, but an enjoyable one.

As was said in the comments, this relies on DirectX, so to create a Linux 
version would be to essentially start from scratch.
