Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?


Thanks for checking it out! If it was from Irmen's unofficial mirror then you were lucky this time as currently the only difference is that the version.h file is missing. Not a big deal, just the version number will be truncated.


Thank you for replying to the issues I encountered. I will go ...

Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?

Thank you for the information. Just FYI, I am a total noob when it comes to git.

I went back to the install dir and tried again.


# Debian/Ubuntu package manager and package names: tweak for your distro.
sudo apt-get install build-essential texlive texlive-lang-german


This appeared to work ...

Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?

Before re-visiting the thread I was searching around and found an assembler with sources "a65v106.zip". There is no indication of who the author is. It was found on a Commodore C64 fan website (Zimmer?).

This interested me since there was only a single C source file.

It compiled first time but ...

Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?

Maybe this will help:

From the man page https://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/xa/xa.1.html
"""
use the -XMASM compatibility mode to allow colons within comments
"""

Thank you. I never would have figured that out.

With the above switch the code assembles with a small number of errors.

The thing ...

Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?

Not too surprisingly I use this one:

https://tass64.sourceforge.net/

If the latest version isn't packaged yet it's easy to compile it.

I downloaded the above from a repo on Github.

Lots of files. Typed make and it appeared to have hung up, but I was simply too impatient and it needed a longer ...

Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?

There is also André Fachat’s xa65 crossassembler , which may be built and run Linux (I’ve done so on SuSE Enterprise Linux).

I downloaded the assembler source from the GitHub repository.

Ran make and it compiled first time.

Tried to assemble a "known good" copy of the disassembly. Got lots of ...

I appreciate the suggestion and pointer to a tar file.

I downloaded and tried "make" in my Linux environment. There were lots of warnings associated with things in the Makefile and an error due to a missing file ...

Re: Which assembler could I possibly use ?

Seems like a live thread.

I am wanting to re-assemble the disassembly listing of the Acorn Atom OS ROM (modified to move the start of the video memory, where the address is hard coded).

I am running (and modifying) the Atomulator emulator in a Linux environment. I am modifying the memory map to ...

Re: Inherited microprocessors

Very interesting! Wild to think that such a large chip would be used to drive a calculator. Thank you for the information.

I haven't visited this site for a long time and just stumbled on this thread.

I recently watched some very interesting videos on YouTube from the recent Vintage Computer ...
