The mouse reference is a pointer. If it's NULL, the driver uses a default. If it's non-NULL, then it points to a function that the driver can call. That function will adjust the driver's calibration value. It could ask the user to adjust the pen; or, it could read a file that holds a value from a previous calibration.
Application writers can choose how it's done: a function that's provided by the library, a custom function, or nothing.
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.
Occasionally dynamically drivers suffer from not being to refer to
content in the C library. Therefore I added a mechanism to allow
a C library for a certian target to define a symbol that will be
handed over to dynamic drivers for that target. Then the drivers
can use their refernce to that symbol to access content in the C
library.
The libraries build is prepared to work with binaries not part of the current
working tree. But in this case the default search path surely points to some
other working tree. Even the binaries in this working tree might have been
compiled with non-standard builtin search paths.
Anyway when building the libraries we want always to use the headers from
the current working tree. Therefore we want to set them explicitly. Instead
of setting all in all five paths on the command lines of ca65, cc65 and ld65 I
opted to just set the single environment variable.
They use the mouse driver programming interface.
Added a test program for lightpen drivers. Now, it knows about only those two drivers; it will need updating when others are added.
The mouse driver source code in question was removed two years
ago with commit 6cbbe66c87.
It seems however desirable to have it around visible in the source
code tree for reference purposes.
The target 'atarixl' is to be used for Atari XL (and better) machines.
It will disable the OS ROM and enable the Shadow RAM available on
those machine.
Note: This commit is only the inital step towards for this goal that just
replicates the target 'atari' as a starting point!
As a preparation for the introduction of the 'atarixl' target it is
necessary that all drivers have a base name...
- no longer than 7 characters
- with a common prefix
The targets allow to run cc65 programs in the sim65 exection
einvironment. As there are no "real" i/o facilities there's no
need for header files. Paravirtualized entry points are mapped
to $FFF0 ff. There's a large cc65 progam area from $0200-$FFEF.
The binary format includes a one-byte header indicating the required
execution environment: The value 0 means 6502 and the value 1
means 65C02. The load adress for the binary is fixed to $0200.
Note: Running sim65C02 programs currently doesn't work bcause
sim65 doesn't actually implement 65C02 opcodes.
There's a quite special case of a targetutil for the TARGET geos-apple having to be
built as TARGET apple2enh binary. We can't just add a dependency to ../lib/apple2enhlib
because the TARGETs are built in individual make instances (because of vpath).
Doing that the "right way" would be _very_ complicated and would turn the Makefiles way
less readable. Therefore I decided to solve that by just reordering the TARGETs. Surely
this won't work if i.e. 'make geos-apple' is entered on a clean system. But still I consider
it appropriate.
I ordered the TARGETs btw so that they are more in an alphabetical order...
Now that we're pretty much independent from CC65_HOME
it doesn't make sense anymore to look for it in the Makefiles.
So rather dynamically check if there are "local" binaries in the
../bin directory. If there are "local" binaries use them - and
otherwise rely on "installed" binaries found in the path.
- No complex shell logic.
- "Source file shadowing" for all targets via vpath.
- Dependency handling.
- True incremental build.
- Don't write into source directories.
- Easy cleanup by just removing 'wrk'.
