It's been a long time (over 6 months) since I've tried compiling it but I remember that it reported linker errors for unresolved symbols. Since you managed to make 1.10.2 compile, they probably fixed the problems.

Do you have any more information regarding build failures? I've just tried building freebasic 1.10.2-1 package and it worked. It also seems there is new 1.10.3 upstream release.

Since the fbc package naming is gone, it would make sense to "rename" fbc-git to freebasic-git.

However, I do not understand where FreeBasic is going (regarding upstream) as it is a stale project with no new stable release since December 2023! The current git version (and the stable one) fail to compile with anything gcc>=13 and no fixes are provided upstream for this (this was the main reason I've stopped using it).

Do you think it would make sense to upload new package and then merge fbc-git to freebasic-git?

@micwoj92: Thank you for updating the package. The fbc package was the first one to appear for Arch Linux, the mainline never "saw" it and provided freebasic instead, therefor I've updated the PKGBUILD of this package so that it references the "official" freebasic package.

There is also an fbc-git package that builds the FreeBasic git master version.

Fixed, although it would probably be better if upstream used git submodule

I've submited deletion for fbc because it was same software as freebasic. It looked the same. For example this package also depends on freebasic and not on your old package fbc.
I will look into this download issue.

@micwoj92: Hi, I cannot make the PKGBUILD to work by changing it to use the source option. makepkg downloads data on wrong directories and plus it fails with sha256 length checks, even if I use the option to skip them.

If you can help, I can add you as a (co)maintainer, since you've asked for my other package fbc to be deleted. I do not use fbc anymore, so I am not interested anymore in maintaining the package.

Please update this pkgbuild to use source array instead of downloading manually.
