    GCC-based cross compiler for 68K Macs

    No, I wasn't aware of SUMACC. It was before my time. Very interesting stuff. I don't think it can compete with good old THINK C though :) . RMaker was available on the Mac, too, and was basically the predecessor of Rez, which was introduced a few years later with MPW. It's a much simpler tool...

    GCC-based cross compiler for 68K Macs

    I've opened an issue (#16) on github so I don't forget about the "Simple Example" request. No time right now, though. And as far as resources are concerned, I had a little free time a few months ago that I used for reimplementing (parts of) the Rez compiler. It's buggy, has various missing...

    Dark Castle

    Running on the Plus or original SE, Dark Castle requires the "alternate screen buffer" that is available on those Macs. This is not just some memory, but a specific 22KB of it. If you use MultiFinder, or you have installed either AppleShare or MacsBug, this is no longer available for Dark...

    Developing for 68k Macs on a modern(ish) Mac?

    Okay, to summarize the tools I know: 1. The latest, free (as in beer) version of MPW, available from Macintosh Garden. Should run under Classic. Has a C compiler, and a horribly outdated C++ compiler. No C++ standard library. 2. The compilers and libraries from 1., but run from the Mac OS X...

    GCC-based cross compiler for 68K Macs

    Haskell: Yes, the dependency on GHC is just for PrepareHeaders.hs. Once the headers are generated, it's no longer needed. I realize it's a big dependency, but Haskell is very well suited for the task of hacking up a parser quickly (as opposed to using perl and a big heap of regular expressions...

    GCC-based cross compiler for 68K Macs

    Hello everyone :) If you're like me, then you've been frustrated that THINK C++ 7.0 doesn't support all the newest features from the C++11 standard. Well, you probably aren't. But anyway, I've managed to get the GNU C/C++ Compiler (version 4.7) to cross-compile from modern day Linux or Mac...
