The target util convert.system is to be used in conjunction with GEOS on the Apple II but has to be built as an "ordinary" Apple II program. The way the cc65 library build system is designed there's no way to define dependencies between targets. The solution used so far was to explicitly trigger a build of the target 'apple2enh' from the target 'geos-apple'. However, that approach tends to break parallel builds which may be in the middle of building 'appple2enh' at the time it is triggered by 'geos-apple'.
There might be ways to get this fixed - but the the cc65 library build systrem is already (more than) complex enough, so I really don't want to add anything special to it.
On the other hand there are easier ways (outside the scope of cc65) to archive what convert.system does so I don't presume convert.system to be actually used - it's more a reference type of thing.
Putting all facts together the decision was easy: Just move convert.system from the target it is used with to the target(s) it is built with.
The starting point is the CALL2051:REM <cmdline> approach. It uses the BASIC input buffer at $200. ProDOS stores the name of the loaded program at $280 (which we want for argv[0]) leaving us with 128 char buffer. If we run the program via exec() we don't need the CALL2051 but only the REM token (which is just one char). So have a maximum cmdline length of 126 (plus a terminating zero).
There's no specification for ProDOS BIN file cmdline parameters so exec() just supports the CALL2051:REM <cmdline> approach. In contrast ProDOS SYS files allow for a 'startup filename'. A ProDOS filename is short than 126 chars so having exec() general cut the cmdline after 126 chars seems reasonable. If the SYS file we exec() allows for less we cut the cmdline further.
Our 'loader.system' SYS file however allows for an unusually 126 char long "startup filename" as it is targeted towards cc65 BIN porgrams with their 126 cmdline length.
Building the clean target in src or libsrc should only delete stuff created by the make in those directories. Having both separated allows the Travis CI build to replace the native binaries with cross built binaries while keeping everything else.
Originally I used the usual variables (like $(CC) and $(CFLAGS) ) but after
all this doesn't make sense as any predefined values and/or user defined
settings can only be wrong.
