If cc65 is installed and used as designed there's no need whatsoever for CC65_HOME (both on *IX and Windows) from the perspective of the cc65 binaries. If the user however has to access files from the 'target' directory thenhe ends up with some assumption on the cc65 installation path nevertheless :-(
In order to avoid this I added the --print-target-path option. It "exports" the logic used by the cc65 binaries to locate their files to the user thus allowing him to leverage the same logic to locate the target files in his build scripts / Makefiles.
Most POSIX function libraries hid that long-time bug by putting zeroes in their dynamic RAM; but, MinGW's library doesn't do it. Therefore, a command like
cl65 foo.c -l
would crash with a "Segmentation fault" -- it should give a nice error message about "-l"; and, quit neatly.
- Code specific to Windows was #ifdef'ed with _MSC_VER so it wasn't included with MinGW. So _MSC_VER is replaced with _WIN32.
- MinGW doesn't support _get_pgmptr() so it is necessary to directly call the Win32 function GetModuleFileName(). This implies including windows.h which in turn causes a name clash with the Win32 function SearchPath(). So the cc65 type SearchPath is renamed to SearchPaths.
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!
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.
In contrast to *IX it doesn't make much sense to add compile time defined
search paths to Windows binaries: There's no standard path like /usr/local/bin
(and there are no symbolic links to link from there to another location).
On the other hand it's (again in contrast to *IX) easy for Windows binaries
to determine their own paths. Therefore it's appropriate to make use of that
to add run time defined default search paths.
