[Coco] Latest C Compiler Chain

Tue Jan 1 23:11:11 EST 2019

Hey Stephen, out of curiosity, have you ever come across source code for the C Libraries?  I have been putting together the C compiler from what I can find as the latest released for the Ease Of Use HD Image.  I believe we have this release along with Make and a couple of other modules, but we were hoping to get a source of the library for optimizing that for 6309/6809 as well.  Any help would be appreciated.

Up on the colorcomputerarchive.

This contains the files for the post I made to TandyCoCo.Forums ~ 2011.

Willard did the heavy lifting searching the Internet for the latest versions of the "C" Compiler.

After I collected the files he listed I checked and they were the exact files I was using so the collection was in use by myself and others.

One of the disks has the entire "C" Compiler chain ready to transfer to your CMDS directory.

The documentation for all the programs is in another file.

I think some source files are not included as they were to be made available at a later date. The discussion leading up to there files is included.

Happy New Year

--------------------------------------------------------------

There are about three - five groups interested in the C Compiler.

1) Those who are wanting to recreate their experience from decades ago and are interested only in the original Tandy stuff.

2) Those who are interested in the efforts Gene, Dean, Willard... did to improve the C Compiler. (That's the CLIMAX effort that I have given you.)

3) Those who wish to improve on the CLIMAX effort and thus would be interested in ALL the sources.

4) Those who think (Withheld) who shouts a lot and actually does things is going to produce a better C Compiler than the CLIMAX effort did in 2011.

5) The developer and users of the new C Compiler which in time may be the best.

Guillaume Major and I are working to get the files available for download.
I planned to get:
http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Documents/Manuals/Programming/Tandy%20CoCo%20OS-9%20C%20Compiler%20Discussion%20%28Stephen%20Fischer%29.pdf into something closer to what was available before than the form that document is in. That was just a major failure backup that I did not expect to happen, but did.
I have found that I am unable due to so. Too many other things to do.
I gave Guillaume Major the attachments for that post and he has suggested a different format. I just got his reply and am considering his request. Plus I have realized that I have other "C" chain source code files that were not attached to that post.
I will ask him to make available what I have given him unchanged which was one option and may be the final option.
http://www.os9projects.com/C_Compiler/Compiler.html
has been unmanned for years now and I never gave Dean any files.
I do see a second person now has put his name on as a maintainer.
Yes there are many broken links, I have the entire contents on my N.A.S and have given two other persons copies. I still have two Blue Ray sets of disks that can be given away. Files may have been added after I got a snapshot from Dean just before he walked away due to other reasons.
I could spend several reincarnations and not find all the "C" files I have on my N.A.S., on other external hard disks and DVDs.
One thing that I do not have and wish someone has is all the "C" library s that Willard found and is listed in the post. That is something I consider important but will be unable to do.
If you can accept large e-mail files PM me and I will try and give you copies. I do not play any games with any of the "free" cloud storage offerings, they just do not work.
Perhaps all the files I have uploaded that cannot change the permission to do so may be given back to so I can add files.
And there are so many files in one place that may sink due to the weight. AFAIK no backup.

I can send you the last iteration of our attempts to improve on the "C"
Compiler, sources and documentation included. Plus a copy of the 6309

When TandyCoCo.com was taken down and everything was lost, I became
perhaps the last owner of the parts of the latest "C" compiler chain.

Just about everything has had rewrites and tweaks, some by Gene.

As far as "ed", that was not included in the effort.

   http://www.os9projects.com/C_Compiler/Compiler.html

was to be the final resting place but it never got the files.

You can't pick and chose as the parts are all tied together via the last
iteration of "CC".

TandyCoCo.com took down a huge amount of my work and of others, perhaps
intentionally.

Bill has his own methods and may have been part of the take down.

I have at times provided the parts to persons but nothing has been heard
by me after.
