I'm on Slackel v7.6 Openbox, with Linux kernel v6.1.41.
I have not found a fix specific to Slackware v15. Looked in "linuxquestions-dot-org", there's a thread for a fix but it's from 2016. The Freebasic forums are too Windows and Ubuntu focused and almost not another Linux OS is mentioned.
This is a workaround:
I visited "pkgs-dot-org" to obtain the following link:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... _amd64.deb
I downloaded this package, which is from Debian v11 "Bullseye", the "ncurses" compatibility module. Extracted the "data" portion from it and from that "data" archive, extracted the "libtinfo.so.5.9". That was copied (with "root" privileges) directly to "/lib64" as "libtinfo.so.5". Cannot give its original name because "libtinfo.so.5.9" already exists for Slackware.
This should be tested. Create a brief program called "hello.bas":
Code: Select all
print "Hello!"
Code: Select all
./fbc hello.bas
Graphics BASIC programs should compile because Slackware carries all the "devel"-side libraries.
This should work for Freebasic v1.10 as well as v1.09. This is for your information.
