Compiling KBasic & 64-bit issues

[Luke-Jr]

Reporting a few problems herein:
1. KBasic's "source codes" do not compile. The build system is entirely broken.
2. The "source codes" may not be the latest version. Is there a repository (CVS, Subversion, etc) somewhere?
3. KBasic appears to contain a lot of bad code which will break on 64-bit systems.

It is not supposed to compile on 64bit yet and the latest source codes are fully provided and are working on openSUSE 11.0. Three KDevelop projects for each sub project are provided. You have to set define.h as described on the source codes page: http://www.kbasic.com/doku.php?id=source_codes

[Luke-Jr]

I did read the instructions. The build system is broken in the source code downloads, however.

[berndnoetscher]

Which error message do you get? Do you have all needed libraries installed, escpecially development libraries? The list of dependencies on the download page, give you a clue what is needed. Thanks in advance.

Looks like your machine is running out of memory and has not sufficient hardware to compile kbasic.

Look at the error message you posted:

cc1plus: out of memory allocating 688761600 bytes after a total of 337715200 bytes

Which hardware and software are you running?
