1. Compile it in QBASIC.
2. Get a different version of FB.

I dont get why it gives those errors. All labels does exist but still it keeps whining about them.
If any one in here cant help, then i recommend you to ask at www.freebasic.net forums. Alltho, buddies at here are clever enough prolly to figure out why it's not working.

There is alltho tens of places where you could do things more easily but if youre interested to know, ask when you got this version working fine.
Hopefully you got it soon.

You are using the 0.17 unstable version, right?
0.17 has engaged in a new way and it has become very picky about DIMming variables, I can't tell you about labels as i never use them. To recover the QB-friendly behavior add to the command line the new option -lang qb
Code:
fbc -lang qb  mysource.bas

I tried using -lang qb with the FreeBasic Compiler and I continually get a command line error that says that it doesn't understand the command. I am indeed running 0.17. Ugh...

Here is my complete code for anyone interested in taking a crack at it:

There is another version of the codewhere I tried dimming all the variables at the very beginning, but that didn't seem to do anything. I'm not quite sure I even understand what dimming does though.

This will allow you to code in a more QB'ish manner, but will keep you from using the more advanced features of the language. see

generally implict variable allocation means that you haven't dimed you varibles, but for the undefined labels, i would have to see the whole code

Hard to say anything when seeing only that piece of code.
implict variable allocation means you have a bug in your source...lol ok. You have problem with variables. Cant point it directly anywhere since cant see your source.

I'm using FreeBasic Compiler to compile a Qbasic program I wrote. Unfortunately, I keep getting errors that say:

C:\qbfiles\fbasic>fbc example/uncle.bas
example/uncle.bas(1543) : warning level 0: Implicit variable allocation, rathole3num

example/uncle.bas() : error 48: Undefined label, VINE2
example/uncle.bas() : error 120: Too many errors, exiting

Here is the beginning of my code. This code works fine when running inside of Qbasic itself. I edited out the sub declarations at the beginning.

Code:

start: CLStreasurenum = 0revolvernum = 0armsnum = 0bulletnum = 0vinenum = 0hammernum = 0key1num = 0lanternnum = 0shovelnum = 0ballnum = 0key2num = 0key3num = 0laddernum = 0acidnum = 0apekillnum = 0new = 1log1num = 0log3num = 0vine2num = 0gravenum = 0pitnum1 = 0pitnum2 = 0moundnum = 0arm2num = 0arm3num = 0arm4num = 0grassnum = 0pantherkillnum = 0dogkillnum = 0benchnum = 0tdoor1num = 0tdoor2num = 0bucketnum = 0hole1num = 0bricknum = 0cranknum = 0dropnum = 0mutantkillnum = 0rathole1num = 0rathole2num = 0rathol3num = 0door14num = 0pouchnum = 0chestnum = 0ballcount = 0rashnum = 0rashcount = 0orchidcount = 0skeletonnum = 0engravenum = 0catnum = 0eelnum = 0clocknum = 0engravecount = 0tdoor2num = 0dogrunnum = 0spicenum = 0spicekillnum = 0bagnum = 0woodchestnum = 0biscuitnum = 0mechmannum = 0maneatnum = 0vaultnum = 0ballgrabnum = 0winnum = 0bednum = 0pillownum = 0levernum = 0safenum = 0flowernum = 0flashnum = 0kawandusnum = 0hogkillnum = 0hammerdoor = 0COLOR 8PRINT "                                 Uncle Andrew's Manor"PRINT ""COLOR 3PRINT "                                 A game by Andi Hagen"PRINT ""COLOR 6PRINT "(a) begin"PRINT "(b) story"PRINT "(c) instructions"PRINT "(d) about"PRINT "(e) quit"PRINT ""COLOR 7PRINT "What is your choice"; : INPUT choice$IF choice$ = "a" THEN GOTO room1IF choice$ = "b" THEN GOTO storyIF choice$ = "c" THEN GOTO helpIF choice$ = "d" THEN GOTO aboutIF choice$ = "e" THEN GOTO quitGOTO startstory:CALL storyGOTO starthelp:CALL helpGOTO startquit: ENDabout:CALL aboutGOTO start''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''room1:IF ballnum = 1 THEN ballcount = ballcount + 1IF ballcount = 10 THEN CALL ballboom GOTO startEND IF

Does anyone know what those error codes are caused by? Do I have to define my line labels differently or something? And what does "implict variable allocation" mean?

Thanks a lot.
