FASM & ARM Processors

[Mohawk70]

The links below might be of interest (especially the first 4) to those who have asked
Fred about a version of PB for Mobile Phones/PDAs being made, since these are
related to FASM and ARM processors (which many phones use).

Yes, would be really nice to have Windows Mobile PPC Support for Purebasic

Just imagine the comfort of writing setup.dll DLLs, all the other Stuff that could be done with PBPPC without touching the MS C/C++ compilers - A Dream
But I can respect the small Team of developers of PB and the hard work that every new Platform is (Linux, MAC) and all the other things that would come (Why not iPhone, Why not Android, Why not Maemo) and so on when they would support Windows Mobile...

Anyway WM could be one of the easiest steps on supporting a new paltform. Windows Mobile has begun a very interesting evolution right these days. MS needs to beat Apples iPhone and begins to throw away that old days stylus based UserInterface. Let's see what the future brings...
PB for Windows Mobile - I'd donate for it when support would be announced!

The point of my message above was that with what they are discussing on the forum linked to,
it may be possible to create a converter from standard FASM to ARM (Mobile) processor comaptible
code - unless I have the whole concept of what they are attempting wrong I didn't mean that Fred
& team should release a Mobile version - I was thinking DIY or OpenSource !

Same Here !

A converter is maybe possible but very complicated and maybe will result in very poor performance. Second problem are the PureBasic Libs, they are all closed source.
