The Sinclair QL Forum

My main aim is to rebuild the C68 libraries so I can add functions which are now common to make porting easier. I had noticed that qmac turns up in at least one library! I did that once and wanted to release the result as a complete C68 distribution, but never quite got around to it. Was a bit of w...

But it turns out I don't actually need to cross compile, make on QDOS is actually pretty nice. Well, if it's only that, QMake is even nicer and works with any standard QL link file without additional effort. No that was just a dangerous side quest I found myself on while looking at QMAC macros :-) ...

But it turns out I don't actually need to cross compile, make on QDOS is actually pretty nice. Of course it is. (After you've catapulted yourselves 20 years back with regards to expectations on make features.) I use it all the time, to make assembly, C and Pascal projects. You have obviously never ...

If people were wondering what i was playing at.

Now its as simple to build as

What about: vasm and vlink, they have source available.

I think you are missing the point, getting AN assembler isnt hard, one that understands QMAC macros is harder!

So for a lot of cross compile development the thing we are missing on the host side is a qmac compatible assembler. I am assuming this was written in assembler and we don't have high level source code for it? I'd be happy if there was at least the assembler code ;) Yeah but assembler seems to be yo...

There is, and also gas from qdos-gcc but that means unmangling the macros.

Hi, The command: BDI1 = QL_BDI.BIN loads the BDI file as stated in the manual and in this thread. Can the location of the BDI file be specified so that maybe a mounted SD Card or Compact Flash could be used, giving a process of of updating a BBQL QubIDE interface with SD Card or Compact Flash. BDI1...

OK, got it now, I must say the documentation is a little sketchy.

Can a DEVICE be setup as a BDI file?

No, the devices setup by device= are emulated.
