cannot find install.sh

[jayrm]

In a cloned repository or source package you can find it at ./contrib/unix-installer/install.sh
contrib/unix-installer/install.sh

Or for any file can search for it: $ find . -iname 'install.sh'

Usually though, if you are building fbc yourself from cloned repository should also be able to:
$ sudo make install
to install the compiler, libraries, etc, to the system directories.

The install.sh file is copied to the top directory only when making the binary packages.

Thanks.
'sudo ./contrib/unix-installer/install.sh -i' reports 'install: cannot stat './bin/fbc': No such file or directory'. 'bin' is empty.
'sudo make install' reports

The source code for freebasic compiler 'fbc' is written in freebasic language itself. So you will need a working fbc compiler already installed to compile the fbc compiler.

Looks like fedora 33 has a package available:
https://fedora.pkgs.org/33/rpm-sphere-aarch64/freebasic-1.07.1-1.aarch64.rpm.html

In which case you would

• install fedora 33 - freebasic 1.07.1 package
• get latest freebasic 1.08 from git clone
• try make && make install from source

Information about bootstrapping the compiler: https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/DevBootstrap
Sorry, I don't think any of the main freebasic developers have an Aarch64 platform to test on so information about aarch64 is limited (or non-existent).

If you do have have success building fbc, please considering offering some feedback or information to update the documentation about the Aarch64 target.
