 Thanks James

Where does xo2.inc come from? (used as an include within gx02.bas source file)

[JRS]

Is the only way to build a self compiling compiler is to to use the FreeBasic compiled version first yo build it?

@Chales - Can you post some instructions on building the OXSC suite?

[Charles Pegge]

Hi John,

xo2.inc is a component of gxo2.bas (and previous exo2.bas)

Self-compiling is not recommended for public use yet but co2.exe is the compiler used in conjunction with a previously self-compiled oxygen.dll, and the source file is BuildOxygenDLL.o2bas.

[JRS]

So the runtime (oxygen.dll) is using the self compiling (O2 BASIC) but the SC compiler itself is still a work in process?

I'm going to add to the runtime folder in the sandbox the gxo2.exe that James Fuller posted recently. That should make the sandbox repo more complete.

Can I assume gxo2.exe is static until the SC compiler is released?

[Charles Pegge]

Hi John,

I'll post another OxygenBasicProgress.zip containing gxo2 and the current example files, so we are in sync.

I can also make OXSC more self-contained by including a 'revert' version of oxygen.dll to restore a failed build.

Oxygen.dll is compiled within the OXSC folder, then copied by batchfile into the main folder, as a separate step.

[JRS]

I will more than likely make a new branch for the previous O2 version.

Sandbox updated with OXSC190115.

It looks like you added variant support in this release Charles.

[JRS]

Charles,

When you release the self compile compiler, will there be a 32 and 64 bit version of it?

[JRS]

Charles,

I created a new project in the sandbox for O2-Classic. The sandbox icon link has been updated to give the visitor the choice of Classic or OXSC.

Hello John,
Where Oxylog.txt?
I can't to find this file in Inf folder.

I see in:
https://github.com/Charles-Pegge/OxygenBasic
and
https://sandbox.allbasic.info:8181/oxygenbasic

[JRS]

ALL files included in Charles 's ZIPs are in the Sandbox.

[JRS]

If you have a program you would like to contribute to the O2 project, attached it to a post and I'll get it pushed to the sandbox.

If you find an example that doesn't run or you would like to improve it, those submissions are welcome as well.

Charles,

When you release the self compile compiler, will there be a 32 and 64 bit version of it?

Hi John,

I don't have a stable 64bit self-compiling lineage yet. It is only a matter of time, and we can still go ahead with the 32bit.
