The general approach of cl65 when generating the command lines to be executed is to first put options and the put files. However, this doesn't work well with the --lib option which would rather need to be put when libraries in general are put. I opted to not add this special behavior to cl65 as * the use case for the --lib option is _VERY_ specific * cl65 is after all a wrapper for ordinary use cases

cl65 is the compile & link utility for cc65, the 6502 C compiler. It was
|
|
designed as a smart frontend for the C compiler (cc65), the assembler (ca65),
|
|
the object file converter (co65), and the linker (ld65).

<sect>Overview<p>
|
|
|
|
cl65 is a frontend for cc65, ca65, co65 and ld65. While you may not use the
|
|
full power of the tools when calling them through cl65, most features are
|
|
available, and the use of cl65 is much simpler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<sect>Basic Usage<p>
|
|
|
|
The cl65 compile and link utility may be used to convert, compile, assemble
|
|
and link files. While the separate tools do just one step, cl65 knows how to
|
|
build object files from C files (by calling the compiler, then the assembler)
|
|
and other things.

|
Most of the options have the same meanings as the corresponding compiler,
|
|
assembler, and linker options. See the documentation for those tools for an
|
|
explanation. If an option is available for more than one of the tools, it
|
|
is set for all tools where it is available. One example for that is <tt/-v/:
|
|
The compiler, the assembler, and the linker are all called with the <tt/-v/
|
|
switch.
|
|
|
|
There are a few remaining options that control the behaviour of cl65:
|
|
|
|
<descrip>
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-E</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
This option is passed to the cc65 compiler; and, it forces cl65 to stop
|
|
before the assembly step. That means that C-level preprocessor directives
|
|
are obeyed; and, macros are expanded. But, the C source isn't compiled.
|
|
If the <tt/-o/ option isn't used, then the C code results are written into
|
|
files with a ".i" suffix on their base names. Assembler files, object
|
|
files, and libraries given on the command line are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-S</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
This option forces cl65 to stop before the assembly step. That means that
|
|
C files are translated into assembler files; but, nothing more is done.
|
|
Assembler files, object files, and libraries given on the command line
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-c</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
This option forces cl65 to stop after the assembly step. That means
|
|
that C and assembler files given on the command line are translated into
|
|
object files; but, there is no link step. Object files and libraries
|
|
given on the command line are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-o name</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
The -o option is used for the target name in the final step. That causes
|
|
problems if the linker will not be called, and there are several input
|
|
files on the command line. In that case, the name given with -o will be
|
|
used for all of them, which makes the option pretty useless. You
|
|
shouldn't use <tt/-o/ when more than one output file is created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>--print-target-path</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
This option prints the absolute path of the target file directory, and exits
|
|
then. It is supposed to be used with shell backquotes or the GNU make shell
|
|
function. That way, you can write build scripts or Makefiles accessing target
|
|
files without any assumption about the cc65 installation path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-t sys, --target sys</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
The default for this option is different from the compiler and linker, in the
|
|
case that the option is missing: While the other tools (compiler, assembler,
|
|
and linker) will use the "none" system settings by default, cl65 will use
|
|
"c64" as a target system by default. That was chosen because most people
|
|
seem to use cc65 to develop for the C64.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>--no-target-lib</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
This option tells the cl65 to not include the target library into the list
|
|
of libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-Wa options, --asm-args options</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
Pass options directly to the assembler. This may be used to pass options
|
|
that aren't directly supported by cl65. Several options may be separated by
|
|
commas; the commas are replaced by spaces when passing them to the
|
|
assembler. Beware: Passing arguments directly to the assembler might interfere
|
|
with some of the defaults because cl65 doesn't parse the options passed. So,
|
|
if cl65 supports an option by itself, do not pass that option to the
|
|
assembler by means of the <tt/-Wa/ switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-Wc options, --cc-args options</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
Pass options directly to the compiler. This may be used to pass options
|
|
that aren't directly supported by cl65. Several options may be separated by
|
|
commas; the commas are replaced by spaces when passing them to the
|
|
compiler. Beware: Passing arguments directly to the compiler might interfere
|
|
with some of the defaults because cl65 doesn't parse the options passed. So,
|
|
if cl65 supports an option by itself, do not pass that option to the
|
|
compiler by means of the <tt/-Wc/ switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag><tt>-Wl options, --ld-args options</tt></tag>
|
|
|
|
Pass options directly to the linker. This may be used to pass options that
|
|
aren't directly supported by cl65. Several options may be separated by
|
|
commas; the commas are replaced by spaces when passing them to the linker.
|
|
Beware: Passing arguments directly to the linker might interfere with some of
|
|
the defaults because cl65 doesn't parse the options passed. So, if cl65
|
|
supports an option by itself, do not pass that option to the linker by means
|
|
of the <tt/-Wl/ switch.

|
|
<sect>More usage<p>
|
|
|
|
Because cl65 was created to simplify the use of the cc65 development
|
|
package, it tries to be smart about several things.
|
|
|
|
<itemize>
|
|
|
|
<item> If you don't give a target system on the command line, cl65
|
|
defaults to the C64.
|
|
|
|
<item> When linking, cl65 will supply the name of the library file for
|
|
the target system to the linker; so, you don't have to do that.
|
|
|
|
<item> If the final step is the linker, and the name of the output file was
|
|
not explicitly given, cl65 will use the name of the first input file
|
|
without the extension, provided that the name of that file has an
|
|
extension. So, you don't need to give the executable name in most
|
|
cases; just give the name of your "main" file as the first input file.
|
|
</itemize>
|
|
|
|
The command line is parsed from left to right, and the actual processing tool
|
|
(compiler, assembler, ...) is invoked whenever a file name is encountered.
|
|
This means that only the options to the left of a file name are in effect when
|
|
this file is processed. It does also mean that you're able to specify
|
|
different options for different files on the command line. As an example.
|
|
|
|
<tscreen><verb>
|
|
cl65 -Oirs main.c -O -g module.c
|
|
</verb></tscreen>
|
|
|
|
translates main.c with full optimization and module.c with less optimization
|
|
and debug info enabled.
|
|
|
|
The type of an input file is derived from its extension:
|
|
|
|
<itemize>
|
|
<item>C files: <tt/.c/
|
|
<item>Assembler files: <tt/.s/, <tt/.asm/, <tt/.a65/
|
|
<item>Object files: <tt/.o/, <tt/.obj/
|
|
<item>Libraries: <tt/.a/, <tt/.lib/
|
|
<item>GEOS resource files: <tt/.grc/
|
|
<item>o65 files: <tt/.o65/, <tt/.emd/, <tt/.joy/, <tt/.tgi/
|
|
</itemize>
|
|
|
|
Please note that the program cannot handle input files with unknown file
|
|
extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<sect>Examples<p>
|
|
|
|
The morse trainer software, which consists of one C file (morse.c) and one
|
|
assembler file (irq.s) will need the following separate steps to compile
|
|
into an executable named morse:
|
|
|
|
<tscreen><verb>
|
|
cc65 -g -Oi -t c64 morse.c
|
|
ca65 -g morse.s
|
|
ca65 -g irq.s
|
|
ld65 -o morse -t c64 c64.o morse.o irq.o c64.lib
|
|
</verb></tscreen>
|
|
|
|
When using cl65, this is simplified to
|
|
|
|
<tscreen><verb>
|
|
cl65 -g -Oi morse.c irq.s
|
|
</verb></tscreen>
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, you may use cl65 instead of cc65 at most times,
|
|
especially in makefiles to build object files directly from C files. Use
|
|
|
|
<tscreen><verb>
|
|
.c.o:
|
|
cl65 -g -Oi $<
|
|
</verb></tscreen>
|
|
|
|
to do this.
