[Coco] Compiling HDBDOS - Makefle??

[Chad H]

Nevermind, all the bits and pieces of information on this kinda had me running in circles for a bit but I discovered this was wayyyyy simpler than I thought.

For anyone who reads this in the future..

** Compiling HDBDOS ROMs on a Windows 7 64-Bit Machine **
   (May work on other Windows versions??)

1. get the ToolShed 2.1 (or newer) source files (obviously)
2. Extract the 32-bit LWTools from Tormod to a folder (Thanks!)
   Can get here... http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/contrib/tormod/
3.  You need the MAKE.EXE (32-bit) to handle the 'makefile' build script.
   Can get it here...  http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=make

   Place the MAKE.EXE in your LWTOOLS folder it will find both.

4.  There are some additional source .ASM files missing from the
	ToolShed 2.1 archive you will need.  These need be placed in
	"..\CoCoROMS" relative to your folder with 'makefile' and assembly.
    It looks like Gene has shared them with us, so thank him for that!!

  If your HDBDOS folder is "C:\CoCo\HDBDOS" where the ROM sources &
	Makefile are, then the CoCoROMS folder will be at "C:CoCo\CoCoROMS"



You will need to add the path for your LWTOOLS folder into the Windows Environment variable or... have it set in a .BAT file before running MAKE <ENTER>.  Then just sit back and watch the magic as the .ROM, .WAV, etc files are generated in your current folder.

This is the simplest way I have found thus far to get them compiled on a Windows 7 64-bit machine without 'installing' any software packages.

I will be backing these up in my personal repository just in case.
Many Thanks to the contributors in the HDBDOS & ToolShed projects!!!

Subject: [Coco] Compiling HDBDOS - Makefle??

I'm trying to get everything together on a Windows 7 64-bit platform to build the HDBDOS files from their ToolShed 2.1 source files.

 

I just downloaded LWTools as I think that seems to be a prerequisite for MingW, which is what I was going to try to run the 'makefile' in to compile.


 

Could anyone offer a streamlined procedure on exactly what I need and the procedure to run the 'makefile'??

 

Thanks guys!
