BBC Basic for MAC
Post by joker on Oct 22nd, 2016, 2:18pm

Richard, in a recent post you mentioned:

... I switched back to developing my main product, BBC BASIC, and have since released versions for Linux (86), Mac OS-X and Android (86). ...


I guess I missed that you developed for OS-X. Is there something I can test and/or use on my Mac?

Is this a viable development environment like LBB?

Yes, you can download it here although you might want to wait a week or two because an update is due soon.

It's getting there, but at this stage the IDEs (two of them are supplied, developed independently!) leave a lot to be desired: no debugging capability and no option to create standalone executables as yet (although you can build a Mac application manually). I'm not able to devote enough time to it and requests for help on the BBC BASIC forums have gone unheeded. sad
