Hey Chilly Willy I think there is something wrong, the binary is infact a 32 bit one!!

root@oergserv:/home/oerg866/public_html# file xm2esf
xm2esf: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped

I get that too, but if I try to load it with gdb, I get

not in executable format: File format not recognized

So there's definitely something wrong with it. I installed FreeBasic (you forgot to mention FBMath is needed), and compiled it myself... here's the executable I got, which actually works:

Although almost exactly the same size, they've got quite a few differences when compared.

I'll set up a VM for the next v3ersion which is coming quite soon, as I have fixed quite a number of bugs since then

Sounds like a plan. I think that's what most folks do in situations like this - use a VM with the OS in question. It's a lot less hassle than trying to work around every issue with cross-compiling. Fun enough cross-compiling for an entirely different platform (particularly a different CPU) is MUCH easier. See all my toolchains for different consoles as an example.

Going to add some command line options.

Code: Select all

-r Retrigger psg envelopes when the instrument value isn't 0 (more closely simulate XM behavior)
-p like r, but only apply to effects

Any suggestions what might be feasible enough to be an option like that?
