Hey, has anyone here tried the BC9BASIC?
I took a shot at it... see my notes at: http://www.bcxbasic.com/smf/index.php?topic=493.0
So far I'm yet to get anything to run, or assemble without "Error(s)."
This is probably one of the biggest challenges that I encounter whenever I try to use new indi-style programming languages. Most are built around Linux type tool chains and getting them to work in Windows always seems to be a challenge. I haven't tried BCX in a long time. I am hoping that JCFuller's new BC9 is pretty good. Hopefully you an get things working.
Jim,
Topic updated and thank you much for the input.
Paul,
You are correct on the MinGW tool chain. The biggest challenge was/is which distro to use. The Official MinGW has issues and until recently I used this one: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/. It is based on the MinGW 4.7.1 source and I want complete C++(11) compliance as possible which means 4.8.1. It is the easiest to use as it's both 32/64 bit by using -m32 or -m64 when compiling. The others are two separate compilers and tool chains (32/64).
I also like the nuwen distros: http://nuwen.net/mingw.html but it too is missing a couple c++(11) items. I also have not used the 64bit version much.
I am now using http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ and will provide batch files for them in my next bc9Basic update.

Good news, with Jim's command-line, I was able to compile... so I'm still pursuing understanding...
Will go look at http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ now.
