My email address is still <ctm@ardi.com>, although ARDI itself is
defunct. I get a ridiculous amount of spam and will quite possibly
not see email addressed to me.
For a few years I've been meaning to verify that the code builds,
write a little documentation, explain a little history, maybe even
set up a mailing list for people, etc... but other things have always
write a little documentation, explain a little history, maybe even set
up a mailing list for people, etc... but other things have always
taken precedence.
I have just made some mods so that Syn68k will compile on a Fedora 9
i386 system. I haven't yet tested it against anywhere else, nor have
I verified that what is created will actually work with Executor.
i386 system (gcc 4.3.0-8). Unfortunately the resultant libsyn68k.a
does not work with Executor. If I build gcc 4.1.2 from scratch and
use that to compile syn68k. I can then use Executor (whether it's
built using 4.1.2 or 4.3.0).
To compile it, try
I will try building a stock gcc 4.2.4 to see if syn68k built with that
works. If it does, I'll try a stock 4.3.3 and see if that works, etc.
Once I know which version of gcc is the earliest to kill syn68k, I'll
look at the release notes and see if that gives me a hint as to what
is going wrong.
To compile syn68k, try
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

or if you want to use a non-standard gcc, try something like
./autogen.sh
CC=/usr/gcc412/bin/gcc CC_FOR_BUILD=/usr/gcc412/bin/gcc ./configure
make
make install
