Jabaco creates Java Bytecode which can run on every Operating system that supports a Java Runtime Environment, so also Linux. But the IDE currently only supports Windows.

Hello...

First of all... I am a VB programmer, since it was QBasic and Basic Compiler, always WINDOWS.
I am searching for a Basic that, being mostly compatible with VB6, both in WINSOCK and SERIAL port handling, and transparent for LINUX, which I barely understand.

When I compile from the IDE only EXE output file is there...
How do I compile for Linux?
What is the LINUX executable program?

Regards

When compiling a Jabaco project, you can choose between two file types:
1. Exe to be directly executed under MS Windows
(in fact, this exe is a self-unzipping Jar file which is unpacked into %TMP% and then executed via java- jar)
2. Jar to be executed via Java
This jar file is a zipped archive of binary java classes.
You can copy it to any system capable of executing Java jar files.
Rename the file to xxx.zip to be able to open it and see the contents.
Note that you run into trouble when using Jabaco features supported on Windows only.
This includes WINAPI statements and references to Windows-specific libraries.
