The ugBASIC compiler is a console application for Linux and Microsoft Windows
operating system, with a convenient IDE environment for Microsoft
Windows.
In order to install and use ugBASIC only one executable (per target) is needed,
while the IDE is in common to all targets. Depending on which target you are interested in,
you will need to download and install additional software. With these few choices we try
to take you directly to the most appropriate executable.
First of all, select the host operating system, that is, the modern operating system
you will use to produce programs for 8-bit home computers and/or consoles:
Linux (32 bit)
Linux (64 bit)
Windows (32 bit)
Windows (64 bit)
IDE (Windows 32/64 bit)
You can find here binaries for the latest tagged release (v1.16.5
),
the latest compiled release (from the main
branch) and
the beta release (from beta
branch). Each version (release)
of the software is suitable for a specific purpose. It is therefore
necessary to select and download the version that best suits your needs.
git reference: main
(branch)
suggested use: production
This is the latest version of the software. It contains, with respect to the published
version, all the hot fixes and cold fixes that are periodically produced, based on
requests on github and social channels. This is the version to use to ensure that bugs
have been fixed, and is therefore the version to use in production.
git reference: v1.16.5
(tag)
suggested use: regression tests
This is the most stable version of the software, as it is never updated except
when a version is released. It is the only version that, before being released,
is used to compile all the examples. So it is the most stable even if not
necessarily bug-free. It is published in order to have a reference for any
subsequent bug fixing.
git reference: beta

suggested use: experiments
This is the experimental version, which contains additional features and new keywords.
Although it is the only version that can be used if you want to test the features that
will be released in the future, it is not subjected to any quality check: therefore
it cannot be used in production.

In order to compile ugBASIC from sources you need some software installed. Moreover, you have to download / init all submodules, as well. So, first of all you have to prepare your building environment.
This is the alphabetical listing of the submodules that are initialized: some are needed for
the gcc compiler to build the compiler (build), some are needed for the compiler to produce assembly code from a source
in ugBASIC (ugbasic), and some are kept here for reference only (reference). The
makefile
contains instructions on how to use submodules.

You can recompile ugBASIC for the latest tagged release (v1.16.5
),
the latest compiled release (from the main branch) and
the beta release (from beta branch), by using the proper
{branch}
. Each target has its
compiler, and each compiler can be compiled using the specific {target}
parameter on make
command. This is the list of commands tested on Xubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver):
git clone "https://github.com/spotlessmind1975/ugbasic"
cd ugbasic
git checkout {branch}
git submodule update --init --recursive
Finally, you can build the compiler for your target:
cd ugbasic
make target={target} clean compiler
Please note that the beta
repository is not QA checked. This means that it
is possible, but unlikely, that the compiler may fail when compiling specific targets,
especially those that only exist in beta
.
Don't worry!
You can still
build this branch by moving to one of the previous commits until you have compilable source.
Click here for a list of commits produced for the beta
branch.
Once you selected a specific commit, type those commands:
git checkout {commit}
Then, take these makefile
:
ugbasic/makefile
ugbasic/ugbc/makefile
and force the variable BETA
to force beta generation:
#BETA=$(shell cat .git/HEAD | grep beta)
BETA="beta"
Finally, type those commands:
make target={target} clean compiler

You can recompile ugBASIC for the latest tagged release (v1.16.5
),
the latest compiled release (from the main branch) and
the beta release (from beta branch), by using the proper
{branch}
. Each target has its
compiler, and each compiler can be compiled using the specific {target}
parameter on make
command. This is the list of commands tested on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish):
git clone "https://github.com/spotlessmind1975/ugbasic"
cd ugbasic
git checkout {branch}
git submodule update --init --recursive
Finally, you can build the compiler for your target:
cd ugbasic
make target={target} clean compiler
Please note that the beta
repository is not QA checked. This means that it
is possible, but unlikely, that the compiler may fail when compiling specific targets,
especially those that only exist in beta
.
Don't worry!
You can still
build this branch by moving to one of the previous commits until you have compilable source.
Click here for a list of commits produced for the beta
branch.
Once you selected a specific commit, type those commands:
git checkout {commit}
Then, take these makefile
:
ugbasic/makefile
ugbasic/ugbc/makefile
and force the variable BETA
to force beta generation:
#BETA=$(shell cat .git/HEAD | grep beta)
BETA="beta"
Finally, type those commands:
make target={target} clean compiler
You can use ugBASIC starting from precompiled binaries or by recompiling them
from the source code on repository. All compilations and running tests have
been done using the MingW32 distribution.
The easiest way to use ugBASIC under Microsoft Windows is using the IDE.

In order to compile ugBASIC from sources you need some software installed. Moreover, you have to download / init all submodules, as well. So, first of all you have to prepare your building environment.
This is the alphabetical listing of the submodules that are initialized: some are needed for
the gcc compiler to build the compiler (build), some are needed for the compiler to produce assembly code from a source
in ugBASIC (ugbasic), and some are kept here for reference only (reference). The
makefile
contains instructions on how to use submodules.

To recompile under MingW32 you need to download
and install a POSIX-compliant environment for Windows like
MSYS2. So,
download the installer for your PC (a name like msys2-x86_64-20240727.exe
).
From the ucrt32's shell, installed
by MSYS2, you have to download and install a bunch of pachages. The
installation is done using pacman
, the default installer. This is
the list of commands to invoke (in strict order):
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-ccmake
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-make
pacman -S git
pacman -S autoconf
pacman -S cmake
pacman -S autogen
pacman -S libtool
pacman -S automake
pacman -S flex
pacman -S bison
pacman -S vim

cd ugbasic
make target={target} clean compiler
Please note that the beta
repository is not QA checked. This means that it
is possible, but unlikely, that the compiler may fail when compiling specific targets,
especially those that only exist in beta
.
Don't worry!
You can still

cc65
cc65 is a complete cross development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several other tools. To install it you can download the executable from official website, or the one from this website.
z88dk
z88dk is the only C and assembler development kit that comes ready out-of-the-box to create programs for over 100 z80-family (8080, 8085, gbz80, z80, z180, ez80_z80, Rabbit 2000, Rabbit 3000) machines. The project was started in 1998/9 to allow a TCP stack for the Cambridge z88 to be easily written. In recent years significant work has been undertaken to improve the number of targets supported, enhance library features, make the toolchain easier to. To install it you can download the executable from official website, or directly from this site here and here.
In order to compile ugBASIC from sources you need some software installed. Moreover, you have to download / init all submodules, as well. So, first of all you have to prepare your building environment.
This is the alphabetical listing of the submodules that are initialized: some are needed for
the gcc compiler to build the compiler (build), some are needed for the compiler to produce assembly code from a source
in ugBASIC (ugbasic), and some are kept here for reference only (reference). The
makefile
contains instructions on how to use submodules.

To recompile under MingW64 you need to download
and install a POSIX-compliant environment for Windows like
MSYS2. So,
download the installer for your PC (a name like msys2-x86_64-20240727.exe
).
From the ucrt64's shell, installed
by MSYS2, you have to download and install a bunch of pachages. The
installation is done using pacman
, the default installer. This is
the list of commands to invoke (in strict order):
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-ccmake
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-make
pacman -S git
pacman -S autoconf
pacman -S cmake
pacman -S autogen
pacman -S libtool
pacman -S automake
pacman -S flex
pacman -S bison
pacman -S vim
You can recompile ugBASIC for the latest tagged release (v1.16.5
),
the latest compiled release (from the main branch) and
the beta release (from beta branch), by using the proper
{branch}
. Each target has its
compiler, and each compiler can be compiled using the specific {target}
parameter on make
command. This is the list of commands tested on MingW64:
git clone "https://github.com/spotlessmind1975/ugbasic"
cd ugbasic
git checkout {branch}
git submodule update --init --recursive
Finally, you can build the compiler for your target:
cd ugbasic
make target={target} clean compiler
Please note that the beta
repository is not QA checked. This means that it
is possible, but unlikely, that the compiler may fail when compiling specific targets,
especially those that only exist in beta
.
Don't worry!
You can still
build this branch by moving to one of the previous commits until you have compilable source.
Click here for a list of commits produced for the beta
branch.
Once you selected a specific commit, type those commands:
git checkout {commit}
Then, take these makefile
:
ugbasic/makefile
ugbasic/ugbc/makefile
and force the variable BETA
to force beta generation:
#BETA=$(shell cat .git/HEAD | grep beta)
BETA="beta"
Finally, type those commands:
make target={target} clean compiler
Compile your ugBASIC sources efficiently and effectively for multiple retrocomputers: ugBASIC IDE makes it easier to download and install the various software required for one or more retrocomputers, all just one "click away".
