Here is an example project to build a small FreeBASIC executable. It uses my tiny C run-time startup module instead of FB's default library.
Declare Function printf cdecl alias "printf" ( byval as zstring ptr , ... ) as integer
Public Function main cdecl alias "main" ( argc as integer , argv as zstring ptr ptr) as integer
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To argc-1
printf !"Command-line parameter %d = %s\n" , i , argv[i]
Next
return 0
End Function
\FreeBasic\fbc -c -r -nodeflibs test.bas
\masm32\bin\polink /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /LIBPATH:\masm32\lib test.o crt0\crt0.lib kernel32.lib msvcrt.lib
The final executable has a size of 1536 bytes.
Cute, Erol :t
The -nodeflibs is apparently not needed, with this batch file you also arrive at 1536 bytes:
fbc -c -r %1
\masm32\bin\polink /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE %~n1.o \masm32\lib\crt0\crt0.lib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib \masm32\lib\msvcrt.lib
%~n1.exe MyArg1 MyArg2 MyArg3
