QMAC

[tofro]

The originally distributed sources had some files missing as Marcel has already pointed out (and as I found when I tried to build a QDOS C-lib for vbcc)

Code: Select all

./unistd/getlogin.c.missing
./string/strmfn.x.missing
./string/strmfp.x.missing
./string/syserr.x.missing
./string/strrpbrk.x.missing
./string/strmfe.x.missing
./time/times.c.missing
./stdio/tempnam.c.missing
./defaults/slash.c.missing
./qdos/trap2/ioa_cname.s.missing
./qdos/misc/argfree.c.missing
./qdos/misc/getsddata.s.missing

I did not notice when doing the gcc build that the missing files were documented in the source.

Would the C68 sources at some point, be put on GitHub under the SinclairQL account? Or does Dave have objections to this?

Asking for a friend. (Ok, asking for me!)

He gave me his personal .WIN file with everything on it and told me to do as I see fit. It's been a while that I've worked on this and IIRC there were a few problems because his sources were a work in progress towards the next versions that never materialized. I'll have another look at this when I find the time. And then of course I was going to publish the stuff anyway.

Do you want to collaborate on a single source of truth then?

Gladly, I'll have another look at the stuff and maybe recompile once more to make sure everything is in order.

Cheers, Marcel

Awesome, I am currently basing my work on libc-4.24.5 sources that were updated by Thierry so c68 and qdos-gcc will be using the same base!

I have those now building for both (but obviously I need to run some tests on real software)

Hmm, it looks like a version of c68 was in development with the "long long" data type!

Did you ever get round to digging out this file?

I'm not sure where all the time goes which I used to have for QL-stuff. I'm away from my laptop for a while starting tomorrow, but I'll set a reminder to revisit it later in the month.

Hi,

Instead of one person doing everything, why not make everything open source, so that more than one person can do the work.

life steals important QL time, its the constant the same as taxes
