[Coco] MW-C Cross compiler bug - Solved

[Bill Pierce]

Luis,
That's cool. The last I heard, the only C cross-compiler for Coco would not do position independant code and was only good for RSDOS programs.
I'm glad to see ypou got it going. I will be playig with this for sure.
But to be honest, I'm really happy with using my MJK C Compiler system on VCC at overclocked speeds, though if the cross-compiler has a better feature set, I may be changing over soon.

Is there much (if any) difference in code for the compiler compared to standard MW OS9 C code? Or does it need a lot of code change to compile a file written for the OS9 compiler?

Thanks for the link :-)

Sure it does. I'm doing an OS-9 app for my WordPak2+

The binaries are for linux, but you can build it on windows using
cygwin or mingw. Just don't do "make clean" otherwise it will erase
the prototypes.h, or change the makefiles to not delete it. You need
to copy or link the dd dir to /dd.

Also you will need rlink and rma. I got them from an old toolshed 2.0
binary build on the net. And don't forget my "sed" change on it.
