{{implementation|BASIC}}'''FreeBASIC''' is a free/[[open source]] ([[GPL]]), 32-bit [[BASIC]] compiler for [[Microsoft]] [[Windows]], protected-mode [[DOS]] (via a [[wp:DOS extender|DOS extender]]), and [[Linux]], with unofficial ports to [[BSD|FreeBSDMac OS]], and the [[wp:XboxBSD|XboxFreeBSD]]. TheAn experimental [[wp:Xbox|Xbox]] version is no longer maintained.
 
 
ItFreeBASIC makes use of the [[wp:GNU Binutils|GNU Binutils]] programming tools as backends, and can produce console, [[QuickBASIC]]-compatible graphical and [[GUI]] executables, along with dynamic and static libraries. A [[GCC]] frontend is under development, which will enable compilation for many more operating systems than currently supported.
 
Currently, software libraries like [[GTK+]], [[wp:GNU Scientific Library|GSL]], [[:Category:SDL|SDL]], [[wp:Allegro library|Allegro]], [[Lua]] and [[OpenGL]] can be used directly (no wrappers, only function and structure prototypes), and more are being added on every new release. A complete set of the Windows [[API]] headers is also included.
