agumaProblem with compiling gui
It keeps saying 'libc.a: Cannot read symbols: memory exhausted'. Is it something wrong with my program? Because my program uses a lot less memory than the FAR OS series. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks!		2009-03-056:44 PM

I'd set up cross-compiling, FBC probably needs more than DOSBox gives it.		2009-03-056:48 PM

How would I set it up for FreeBASIC? Oh wait, nvm...the -target switch!!! Ohhhhh. EDIT: This is somewhat unrelated to everything, but how do I test how much is being used as my program is running?		2009-03-057:21 PM

Try making it minimal and as small as possible. It could just be the way FreeBASIC has translated the code into Assembly. :P If you upload code, it might help to see what could be the cause. It could be huge array dimensions or just excessive use of buffers.		2009-03-059:31 PM

sorry, i already fixed the problem...just compile from windows instead of dosbox. but thanks anyway btw: how do I make the buttons look different from the textboxes?		2009-03-066:06 PM

That can do it too. DOSBox is an emulator and so memory is limited. Try making the buttons rounded or give them rounded corners. You can just do a simple job of taking the first 5 pixels from each corner and lower one down 2 pixels and then move the two pixels on either side along with another one down only 1 pixel to make a corner.
