Compiler build tools (2012)

[ol boy]

okay, well.. got it sorted with Cygwin 32 bit on Win11 64 bit.

I found the saved downloaded files on an older laptop, I was able to copy that file over to a thumb drive and used those for the install prompts in the x86 setup in Win11.

What a pain that was.

Cool.

Did not work in Debian 11. Looked for missing libs and came up dry.
Probably operator error.

Same issue with latest Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2 on win 11, missing multiarch libs, although arch-test says kernel supports i386 etc.
Wine, amusingly, works fine ;-)

Worked fine in Mageia 9/Cauldron with zero fuss.
No issues with Opensuse Tumbleweed, builds fine.

Microsofts setup for linux seems limited, although v2 allows installing real Linux distros
VMs are the easy way to go, stick Ubuntu in a vm, easy setup.
On a modern machine it only takes moments to install.

I'm not sure if its some fire wall thing for me at work but I tried the windows 2012 tool and linux DL and neither link started the download zip..

Hi thanks for all answers.
Chrome dont want to download it.
Microsoft edge did the job.

Hi All:

With regards to tool building environments, I find Docker is so far the best way to create cross developments build systems. Below is a Docker script for Ubuntu 18:04 LTS that will setup a build environment with the msquirt tools. I tested on ms2extra-pre3.4rc12.zip code as it is the latest version with source.

Here is how you use:
1. Setup Docker on your favorite environment (Windows/Linux/Mac)
2. Copy below script into file Dockerfile (will attach as well)
3. Download and install ms2extra-pre3.4rc12.zip and s12buildtools-linux32bit-2012-10-24.tar.gz files into the same directory as the Dockerfile
4. CD to that directory and build container image with the command “ docker build -t msquirt . “ After a time it will create a docker image named msquirt.
5. Run the image with command “docker run -it -p 22:22 -p 4444:4444 -p 5555:5555 --rm msquirt”

You will now be in the container and can cd to /home/msquirt/ms2extra-pre3.4rc12/ms2extra and run make release. Type exit to get out.

Hope this helps. I have most of the same in a Mageia 8 container but can’t get the zlib32 libraries needed installed. Will update with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22 at some point.

Regards

For anyone who wants to use with 64 bit Ubuntu, here's what I needed to do - it needed i386 support

The symptom was that when running make, or m68hc11-elf-gcc directly, it'd give me "No such file or directory", and nothing else

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev:i386

then it worked...
