zcc +cpm target fails

zcc +cpm target fails the appmake stage:

zcc +cpm -create-app -oenigma.bin -vn examples/console/enigma.c
Unknown machine target "osca"

appmake [+target] [options]
[... long error message...]

In spite of the error, the executable enigma.bin is created and can be called by a cpm emulator.

Regards,
Paulo

I probably messed up with cpm.cfg and osca.cfg

Just edit:
{z88dk}/lib/config/cpm.cfg

and remove the ending portion of the SUBTYPE entry (-Cz+osca)

I tried, no success.

The error now is: "appmake [+target] [options]"

There is no +cpm target, as the binary file generated by the assembler is ready to load in a CPM emulator. But appmake is called without a target and fails.

My fault (again).. I didn't describe the complete fix, also "-create-app" has to be removed.
In the meantime I remembered my original intention, it is just to copy the binary result into a file with the right extension, (no other changes), so the output executable name can be different than "a.com" or "a.exe".

Thanks for your help, it now works.

I've committed the modified cpm.cfg, without -Cz+osca to CVS.

Thank you. By the way it was't a serious bug, it is rather a missing feature: appmake does not have an option for CP/M and OSCA.
Such tool might be shared between the two targets and should simply copy the binary file changing just the filename extension.

EXE for OSCA, COM for CP/M

I planned to do it then I forgot about it !
