I am trying to compile a simple a hello world QBASIC program in ubutu 12.04. Compiler is downloaded and installed as instructed here. http://www.freebasic.net/get

Also I posted it on askubuntu.com https://askubuntu.com/questions/226084/free-basic-compiler-error-23-file-not-found-libsupc-a#comment279100_226084 but reported to post here. Here is my simple QBASIC program and compilation details.

print "hello word"

I compiled it with 

fbc hello.bas

But I got the following error.

hello.bas() error 23: File not found, libsupc++.a

ld: cannot find -lncurses ld: cannot find -lsupc++

Your system lacks dependencies required by fbc. At least one package is missing. libsupc++ is part of libstdc++ which is installed when installing g++.

Have a look at the list at http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=CompilerInstalling

On Ubuntu you will need at least these packages:

  • gcc, g++
  • libncurses5-dev
  • libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxrender-dev, libxrandr-dev, libxpm-dev
  • libffi-dev

You can install them using apt-get or aptitude or a GUI package management tool of your choice.
