How to execute xbasic program

Also, once you've used xbbc to compile to a .b, you can use xb2c to translate that to a .c source file. That's where I get stuck. View the .c to see a whole bunch of open sores libraries you'll need to track down, and God help you if they've changed too much since 2019 to work with X11 Basic 1.27!

How to execute xbasic program

I've mostly just used xbbc to compile to a .b and then xbvm to run it from the command line, though I mostly use X11 Basic for graphics programs and just run both .bas and .b programs from within the shell.

To compile to a .b,

G:\My Drive>"C:\Program Files (x86)\X11-Basic\xbbc" -v -o G:Projects\bas\3_Fern.b G:Projects\bas\3_Fern.bas

To run it from cmd.exe,

G:\My Drive>"C:\Program Files (x86)\X11-Basic\xbvm" G:Projects\bas\3_Fern.b

While I have installed TinyCC 0.9.27 and use it on occasion, I haven't had much luck in getting any of the X11 Basic tools like xbc to work with it.

If you're using the xbvm x.b approach to build command line utilities, you'll need some way to distinguish parameters to xbvm from your program's when examining Param$(). Maybe something like --? So, a command might look like,

G:\My Drive>"C:\Program Files (x86)\X11-Basic\xbvm" G:Projects\bas\3_Fern.b -- -w 1900 -h 1050 -i 200000 -s G:Projects\bas\3_Fern.bmp

REM, ' and # can only be at the start of a line. You have to use ! after any other statement. Yup, other Basics often use ! as bitwise OR. You'll get used to it!

See the bottom of page 32 (40 in the PDF) in the 1.27 user manual

This comment is causing the problem!

G1 = 6.6743E-11 ' m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

The presence of this comment is affecting the value of the assignment.

Strange. ran this on another computer and got the correct result

G=6.67e-11
Print G

In my version 1.27 X11 Basic MS Windows program I write
G1 = 6.6743e-011
but "Print G1" results in:
8.839635186158e-062
Why is this?

Source code compatibility with Android/Linux/Windows?

Are there any major gotchas with programs developed on Android, Linux, or Windows, especially concerning graphics, when porting to the Atari version? Or are the changes to X11-Basic since 1.26-52 fairly minor? Thanks!

Using adb from the platform tools package at Android Debug Bridge (adb) fixed it with no problems at least so far. Unpack it in a directory on Windows, install the USB driver at Run apps on a hardware device, enable developer mode and USB debugging on the device, maybe enable installs from APKs or disable app install blocking, connect the device by USB cable, launch a command window, spam platform-tools\adb devices -l until you see the device, then platform-tools\adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block G:Updates\X11-Basic-Android-1.28-65.apk (or wherever you put it) and hope it responds with "Success". You may need to do platform-tools\adb kill-server to stop Windows complaining about disconnecting the device. The device will probably complain about the app but report a successful install. Remember to turn the device's security back on!
