BaCon compiler in devx

June 18, 2026 — BarryK

Forum member Lobster requested it, so now done. I compiled version 5.0.3.

In the devx, the compiler will be /usr/bin/bacon, and documentation at /usr/share/doc/BaCon

Project homepage:

https://chiselapp.com/user/bacon/repository/bacon/home

Forum:

https://basic-converter.proboards.com/

Online documentation:

https://chiselapp.com/user/bacon/repository/bacon/doc/tip/bacon_trunk/documentation/documentation.html

I wrote some documentation, but it is very old and out-of-date:

"My first GTK application"
https://easyos.org/dev/bacon/my-1st-gtk-app/index.html

"Internationalization"
https://easyos.org/dev/bacon/international/international.htm

"Window layout"
https://easyos.org/dev/bacon/hug/layout.htm

If you want to use HUG, it will have to be downloaded from the project homepage. EasyOS has some CLI utilities written in BaCon.
