# FBIde

[![CI](https://github.com/albeva/fbide/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/albeva/fbide/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

An open-source IDE for the [FreeBASIC](https://freebasic.net).

Lightweight, native, cross-platform — built on wxWidgets. This is a clean-room rewrite of the original FBIde

(0.4.5) in modern C++23, replicating the feature set with a maintainable

codebase.

## Features

- Native FreeBASIC source editor with syntax highlighting, code folding,

  and auto-indent.

- One-key compile, run, and quick-run with parsed compiler errors.

- Themable editor.

- Sub / Function browser, code formatter with case conversion, find /

  replace, recent-files history, multi-document tabs.

- Localised UI (English plus a dozen translations)

- Per-file context-sensitive help (CHM on Windows, online wiki fallback).

## Requirements

- C++23 compiler — MSVC 19.40+ on Windows, recent GCC or Clang on Linux.

- [CMake](https://cmake.org) 4.0 or newer.

- [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org) (recommended) or any CMake-supported

  generator.

- [wxWidgets](https://wxwidgets.org) 3.3.2 or newer, built statically.

## Build

Configure and build a Release tree:

```bash

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \

      -DWXWIN=/path/to/wxwidgets/dist \

      -B build/release -S .

cmake --build build/release

```

Debug build:

```bash

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \

      -DWXWIN=/path/to/wxwidgets/dist \

      -B build/debug -S .

cmake --build build/debug

```

`WXWIN` points at the install prefix produced by `cmake --install` on a

wxWidgets build — the directory containing `lib/`, `include/`, …. Both

Debug and Release variants of wxWidgets must be installed into the same

prefix if you intend to switch FBIde build types against the same wx

tree.

The `fbide` executable lands in `bin/fbide.exe` (Windows) or `bin/fbide`

(Linux). Tests build to `build//tests/tests.exe` and can be run

via `ctest` from the build tree.
