Porting EhBASIC to gcc?

[simon]

Hi Chris,

thank you!!
I looked in my archives again and found the V3.52 sources too. It was still in my old download folder and not in my Basic project folder.
Well, I just put it into the download section for everyone.

Hello SImon,
do you know about vasm?
http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vasm/
you get an elf file, which can be linked with the other gcc stuff

[Chris]

Thanks for posting that e2k001, the vbcc also looks interesting.

Regards

Chris

Indeed. Very interesting. Thank you, e2k001!
Have you tried to assemble EhBASIC with vasm?

The vbcc might a woth a look too. Maybe it produces less blown code as the gcc does.

I only took a very fast shot at it. All I had to do is to enter a start address, and there is one mistake in the source
"move. " without the size in the source (BTW, it is in both versions, 3.49 and 3.52)
but it assembled without other complains.

IBut I have no chance of testing it, so that's how far I got...

Great news! I might try that. That would be a great improvement over my Makefile construct. And much cleaner...

Tell me when you tried. Until then, I don't even check the possibility to rewrite it

[simon]

This can take a little while because I have some other tasks to do. But you could test the assembled object with BSVC or/and Easy68K.
The pure EhBASIC should be easy to test with a simulator.

are they for gas-68k (gnu assembly) ?

[simon]

The EhBASIC source code as-is is for the EASy68K or unix68k assembler. Latter is linked at the links page.
