Hi all,
I was just succesful in using c68 with both the Dev-Cpp IDE from Bloodshed software as well as SourceEdit which means we now have two IDEs for C development (albeit cross-development but it's better than nothing) for the QL.
However I have a couple of problems/questions (actually more than that) and I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out:
1. I am using XTC68NT (J. Hudson's C68 port). However this is an old release (IIRC 1996) which means all recent developments with C68 are not covered. I succesfully recompiled C68's new version under MingW, VS 6 and VS.NET BUT I cannot seem to compile the rest of the stuff (ie CC, AS68, LD etc) using gcc (VS and VS.NET don't have such problems btw). I was wondering if anyone was lucky to do so. I am sure that if I look hard enough, I'll find the problems, it's just that I thought I would save myself some time.
2. XTC68NT adds 8 bytes on the header in order to recreate later on QDOS the appropriate header. Since that is such a cool feature, I would like to implement it on the new PC port as well. As I don't have the original sources of either XTC68 or C68 of the same versions to run a diff to see what JH has done, I would appreciate it if someone could send them (no use in reinventing the wheel there is it? :-)
3. I don't seem to be able to download qdos-gcc from Thierry's site. Anyone have another pointer (or a full distro in a zip that he could send me?) It would be great if I could modify qdos-gcc to accept finally c++ as it would simplify development/porting of apps significantly.
Finally, I was also looking into either porting Turbo to Windows for cross compilation (Either by using CPort) or translating it into one of the inferior basic dialects out there (ie RapidQ, XBasic etc). Anyone ever thought/done that?
All the best,
Phoebus
