RE: [Tech stuff] MSX-C 1.2 troubles
Hi, All you need is a .REL file that does contain a 'main@' symbol, right ? How about creating a .REL with M-80 that declares your 'main@' symbol and that contains code that jumps to an external label called 'mainX'. It may sound crude but it could work. BTW. I've used M-80 very often and with large files and it never crashed or something like that. Is this generated source very large ? Frits Hello all, I recently got my hands on a version of MSX-C 1.2 and having some troubles using it. CF (the parser), FPC (parameter checker) and CG (code generator) are working fine: my C program translates into very beautiful ASM. Then, M-80 is called to generate a relocatable object (.REL) and this step fails: M-80 produces a .REL with filesize 0 (zero, nada, noppes). I replaced M-80 by Gen80, but Gen80 doesn't accept the labels generated by CG - things like 'main@' and '?52431' ... I did a search/replace in the ASM file, so @ would become X and ? would become Y and then Gen80 runs just fine. Unfortunately, L-80 (which has to link the pieces together) _needs_ e.g 'main@' as symbol and can't find it because I replaced it with mainX. Damn! Q: Does anyone here have experience with MSX-C 1.2 and got it up and running? Q: Is there any assembler out there which I could use instead of M-80 or Gen80? It must of course accept the ...@ and ?... labels _and_ be able to produce L-80 compatible .REL files... Thnx, Eric MSX Mailinglist.

Hi, All you need is a .REL file that does contain a 'main@' symbol, right ? not right :-( There's at least one other symbol L-80 is complaining about. Can't recall the name ofthat thing at the moment though :-( How about creating a .REL with M-80 that declares your 'main@' symbol and that contains code that jumps to an external label called 'mainX'. How can I do that, when M-80 only produces zero-length files? Apart from that, it could work, if the other symbol I need is the same for every C source :-) It may sound crude but it could work. BTW. I've used M-80 very often and with large files and it never crashed or something like that. Is this generated source very large ? Not really. I don't have the ASM file at hand but it's definitely less than 10K... It was somewhat more complex that the std 'Hello World' example, though :-) Maybe I should give that a try first and C (!) what M-80 does with that ... Eric MSX Mailinglist.

Maybe something else is wrong... Can you mail me this M-80.COM together with a file that surely gives a zero-length .REL file ? It may sound crude but it could work. BTW.

I've had M-80 compile Turbo Pascal 3.3 which had a lot of symbols and code (over 2 lines !) and it never had any problems... Then again there are different versions of the M-80 compiler.

Hi, Does M-80 only produce zero-length files ? AFAI can tell, yes. I'll do some more testing 2n8... Maybe something else is wrong... Can you mail me this M-80.COM together with a file that surely gives a zero-length .REL file ? Ok. But that won't be till monday morning (unless I get my PC @ home uprunning this weekend (fingers crossed! I'm installing Debian Linux...)) I've had M-80 compile Turbo Pascal 3.3 which had a lot of symbols and code (over 2 lines !) and it never had any problems... Then again there are different versions of the M-80 compiler. Hm, then maybe you could mail me _your_ M-80 :-) (Isn't there a version of M-80 on the MCCM Millennium CD?) Eric MSX Mailinglist.
