New and significantly improved targets for this release:

Just to let you know that I was trying to build and install the released version 2.3 (the linux tgz version) tonight, and I got the same missing file problem as mentioned in the other thread viewtopic.php?t=11862

Code: Select all

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -std=gnu11 -MMD -pedantic -I../common   -c -o ti8xk.o ti8xk.c
ti8xk.c:20:10: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory
   20 | #include <gmp.h> // Not much you can do about The GNU multi-percision library
      |          ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

So should I just download the nightly instead of 2.3, or is there going to be a fix?

[Timmy]

Sorry about that. It was 3am when I posted it. I'll just repost the problem in some other thread, but you can leave it unchanged if you want to.

You probably did, but can I ask if you downloaded the right z88dk-src-2.3.tgz file ?

I'm asking because there is a possible confusion: "Do not download the autogenerated "Source code" files at the bottom - they are missing dependencies and won't compile correctly!"

Yes, I did read it at https://github.com/z88dk/z88dk/releases and downloaded z88dk-src-2.3.tgz

But it's good to re-iterate here.

It's just that libgmp3-dev is an odd one, you added that in the main table but I don't actually check if it's new. It's probably not in the list of "sudo apt install" either.

Now I use zypper instead of apt, and their repositories don't have libgmp3-dev. The closest they have is something like libgmpxx4, and I'm not sure yet if it is the one (no dev or devel suffix there though).

In Fedora the needed package is gmp-devel

Thanks! I just got 2.3 compiled successfully with your help!

My pleasure!

eZ80 +agon
Does this include ADL=1 (24 Bit Mode)
"[z80asm] add support to ez80, both z80 memory mode and ADL memory mode"
What are the specific switches?
Simple command line:
~ % zcc +agon -ohelloworld.bin helloworld.c

[dom]

The compilers and libraries only support z80 mode, however access to more than 64k of data is available using either named address spaces or __far pointers. As a result +agon binaries are, as indicated on the wiki, ADL=0 compilations.

Both the assembler (z88dk-z80asm) and disassembler (z88dk-dis) support ADL=1.

From the command line we use -mez80 to indicate ADL=1 and -mez80_z80 to indicate ADL=0. Of course z80asm supports the .ASSUME ADL=0/1 directives.
