[Coco] make utility for OS9

[Bill Pierce]

Ok, once again, "make" DID NOT come with the Microware OS9 C package, therefore is NOT in the C compiler manual. In fact, when the C package came out (1984, 85??) it was for OS9 L1 which could not have handled make forking other programs. Not enough memory. Make came with the OS9 L2 Development System in 1987 (not the L2 OS which was released earlier). There was NO C compiler released for Coco OS9 L2, only the enhancements found in the Development System (make, cgfx.l, rma, rlink, sled, etc)
For help with the Microware make, you must look in:

http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Documents/Manuals/Operating%20Systems/OS-9%20Level%20Two%20Development%20System%20(Tandy).pdf

On page 162 (actual PDF page#), Utilities, chapter 2 "Make Utility"

For Tim Koonce's "make" (much better, more features), try:

http://ftp://os9archive.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/PROG/Make_TK.lzh

The archive should include any docs.

Intereting.  My original RS documentation says Revision D - August 1983.And I don't see anything about make in either.  Did I miss it?bill________________________________________From: Coco [coco-bounces at maltedmedia.com] on behalf of Christopher Noyes [cnoyes72 at cox.net]Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2017 1:02 AMTo: CoCoList for Color Computer EnthusiastsSubject: Re: [Coco] make utility for OS9Forgot to paste the link. :)http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Documents/Manuals/Programming/Microware%20C%20Compiler%20User's%20Guide%20(Microware).pdfSent from my iPhone> On May 10, 2017, at 00:48, Walter Zambotti <zambotti at iinet.net.au> wrote:>> Dave>> I somehow doubt that.>> I haven't unboxed my CoCo/OS9 stuff in over 20 years.
