GMP / MPFR Support Package

This package provides everything you need to use the GMP (GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library) and MPFR (Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliable Library) with FutureBasic. GMP handles fast, high-precision integer and rational arithmetic, while MPFR builds on GMP to deliver correctly-rounded floating-point calculations with arbitrary precision.

The download includes headers, pre-built frameworks, documentation, installation instructions, and demo projects tailored for FutureBasic.

NibMate

Generates .xib files from the app's UI elements, or converts .xib files to FutureBasic code

Usage:

  1. Drop NibMate.framework and Util_NibMate.incl into the same folder as your app.
  2. Include the Util_NibMate.incl header in your app.
  3. Run your app. The NibMate panel will be displayed on screen.
Please read the guide: Click the NibMate icon in NibMate panel's titlebar and choose Guide.

Current limitations:
  1. Does not import menus from a nib.
  2. Does not handle all window/control attributes.
Note: Because FB table views and outline views can only be created in a nib, NibMate ignores them.
