[Coco] GCC6809 cross compiler, assembler & linker

[Walter Zambotti]

Continuing my search to provide some Linux apps for OS9.

I have looked at the code for PIXMAN and while it might be possible to get GCC6809 to compile and eventually link PIXMAN the code will probably never execute because it allocates huge pixel maps using malloc.

In a 64k system this will probably run out of memory immediately.

But having said that I see a configuration in the config files for Z80 and 6811 so it should work.

I'll keep looking at this for now however there doesn't appear to be porting guide so I'm looking through code and make files at the moment.

I just looked at the dependencies for FLTK and it is not as portable as I would have like.

It is built upon Xorg which in turn has several dependencies. That doesn't sound probable to me.

I need a smaller project to start with.

I looked at webkit too but on a 64k system my impression is too many dependencies as well.

Back  to the drawing board.

I'll keep looking.

Interesting. I've recently begun to use these in my work for a linux-based project. I'm far from an accomplished user, having spent many years working with Win32 GUI design and occasionally WxWidgets, and it's certainly a different kettle of fish!

Would be pretty cool if you can manage it on the Coco!
