ScriptBasic extension modules dynamically link to some of it's 3rd party interfaces. (cURL, MySQL, ODBC, libxml2, GD, ...) You must have these package dev libraries installed to get the SB extension modules to compile. The t.so, cgi.so, hash.so, ... should compile with no other dependencies.

I'm going to see if I can create a Debian micro instance on Amazon EC2 and build a SB 2.2 binary release.

This seems to be a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 7 issue.

How do I fix a “version `GLIBC_2.14' not found” error?

If you feel comfortable doing so, I could send you a zip of the SB 2.2 source to compile on your Debian box. I'm not posting the SB 2.2 source until the official ScriptBasic 2.2 release. (too many half baked copies floating around as it is)

I didn't test the SB 2.2 version of sbhttpd in its normal configuration (as root in /usr/bin) and was trying to make it work under a local user account with it's own configuration file. It looks like sbhttpd has to run as a root process due to it being run as a service.

Attached is my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version of sbhttpd.

It seems that energy management and facility monitoring is well on it's way as standard equipment in current construction. Reminds me of the push to put all those wires hanging from poles underground. SB is an excellent embeddable scripting language and used commercially in controllers/gateways.

Is the aim to get programs compiled for android via java, or I guess for any java supported platform?

The JAPI interface is a great idea but 10 years before it's time. It was abandoned before Java got into full swing. (pun intended) There were a couple other BASIC like developers that showed interest in updating the library from AWT based to SWING based. That effort fizzled out and I have no room on my plate to take on another project. (alone) The other negative aspect is that the Java interface is a socket connection (like GTK-Server) and quickly reaches it limitations with todays processor speed. For this API to be worth using, a more direct interface to Java (JNI) needs to be in place and the full swing API exposed.

My efforts with this as with everything else I do was to try and create some interest in JAPI and see if others felt there was value in a rebirth of the API. Seems not at this time. 

Thanks for the comments and feedback. It gets boring being the only one posting to this open source project.

As a side note, I plan on focusing ScriptBasic toward it's roots of being an embedded scripting solution. I must have been nuts trying to promote ScriptBasic's use to the BASIC hobby programming community. ALLBASIC.INFO will become a what's up with BASIC info/news site without interaction. I no longer have the free time I once had to promote and facilitate BASIC open source projects.

Tomaaz put a zip together of the configuration files needed to give ScriptBasic syntax highlighting in the Geany IDE.

Thanks Tomaaz!

Charles Pegge (OxygenBasic / DLLC author) has done it again and added JIT (Just-In-Time) function scripting, compiling and calling all at runtime. The following example is interesting as it shows DLLC supporting the JAPI  (Java Application Programming Interface) and using JIT for the Mandelbrot Set calculation. (76,800 pixel calculations)




The following code is using DLLC to interface with the JAPI DLL to produce the Mandelbrot Set.

I ran across a nice Java Look & Feel browser for the swing UI.



It would be nice if this utility would allow setting values rather than just viewing them.
