Yeah I talked to Kevin about all your suggestions and he told me that bison and flex are not neccesary. He said all I need is 'ld', 'as', 'gcc backend', and maybe a 'gcc middleend' then make the libraries. Also don't give all the credit to me elfprince is helping on this project like 50/50 with me.

I want to help too...

Oh, OK. Also, this might help you two: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/GCC-Frontend-HOWTO.html

If you want to help you can Ill talk to you on mIRC cause we will need all the help we can get

Update: If you want to die then download GCC compiler source.*cough* 16794 files almost 2000 lines in each*cough*

Update: Anyways the reason I changed from C to TI-83+ to C to z80 processors is because it should be fairly easy to make it compile for 82,83,84,and 86

oO wow thats huge

its been around a while

and we now have an IRC channel, not much happening now except technical discussion though.

there was an existing project on sourceforge with the same purpose name, that hadn't ever done anything so we've requested administrative control of it, we should hear back within 2.5 weeks.

aaah cool, of course i dont mind any calc related discussion in #omnimaga either tho

Halifax · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2007, 09:22:00 am »

hmm not much is going on in the channel even though the people are on omnimaga site o.o

Oh well anyways I have a basic understanding of where to start

Hows the development team coming along? I would love to help, but I don't know any C or C++ yet. (Which should I start with? I heard C++ is just a more complex C).

Anyway, if this project is finished, you'll get many cookies from me. -.-

-.-

C++ = C + Classes (and a few other minor things)

Actually, C++ is called that because the "++" is the symbol for increment, so C++ is really "C+1" (Or C version 2, whatever).

If you learn C, then you learn C. But if you learn C++, you know both.

Ok the list has shortened to JincS and I(Halifax). This week coming JincS and I will begin to port ld-tigcc(the linker) onto a68K(the assembler) and then to z80gcc(the actual cross compiler).

JincS · « **Reply #26 on:** March 12, 2007, 06:50:00 pm »

Yay! I'm [pretty much] ready!

Nobody else is interested in this project?

Halifax · « **Reply #27 on:** March 13, 2007, 09:33:00 am »

Ok JincS and no not many people want to take on this massive dragon of a project lol

Anyways yay I am ready to start to but before we do I have to iron out some details with you to keep things running smooth.(Halifax is glad you are sticking with him)

Liazon · « **Reply #28 on:** March 13, 2007, 10:34:00 am »

nice progress is good interest will probably increase later for sure though.

Halifax · « **Reply #29 on:** March 13, 2007, 03:44:00 pm »

Ok this insanely time-saving and ingenious idea goes to Kevin_Kofler. There is no need to port a68K!!!! Binutils 2.17 already has a target for z80. So all we need to do is get ld-z80gcc to eat all the results and output a TI executable and then write the backend for GCC(the big son of a bit**)
