Line 89:
FreeBasic stores its auxiliary binaries in the bin directory, or a subdirectory thereof. To get started quickly, replace <code>ld</code>, <code>ar</code> and <code>as</code> with the versions built in the previous step. Note that this stops FreeBasic from working on its previous host.
Under windows, the bin directory is subdivided into platforms, and you can add a new one rather than modifying the existing one. To use this, create the 'linux' directory, copy <code>i586-elf-ld</code>, <code>i586-elf-ar</code> and <code>i586-elf-as</code>, and rename them to <code>ld</code>, <code>ar</code> and <code>as</code>. When running freebasic you can use the <code>-t linux</code> command line switch to compile for your OS instead of windows, allowing you to continue using Freebasic normally for non-os development. The Linux version does not come with this target switch - here you'll have to replace the bundled binaries with your own versions.
