It +intends to be a programming aid in creating tools which can be +compiled on different platforms while trying to revive the days of the +good old BASIC. BaCon can be described as a translator, a converter, +a source-to-source compiler, a transcompiler or a transpiler. It also +can be described as a very elaborate preprocessor to C. + +Note: BaCon only supports its own dialect of BASIC, which does not +support line numbers. You can't use this to compile ancient code from +the 80s. + +Optional dependency: fltk (autodetected). If fltk is installed at +build time, the BaCon FLTK GUI will be built instead of the TK GUI. +If you have fltk installed but prefer the TK GUI, export FLTK=no in +the script's environment. + +Note: BaCon has a GTK+ GUI option, but it is not supported by this +SlackBuild. |
