This is a portable toolchain for C/ASM development targetting the Amstrad CPC platform.
- It takes your project's C and/or assembly source code and use your modern computer to automatically produces a ready-to-run disk or tape image for an Amstrad CPC or emulator.
- You can edit source and get another image, at will.
- Eventually it will allow you to edit your graphics/music/whatever in your preferred editor, save, get another image, run.
- If you know to program in C and want to try that for the CPC without first learning all details of all tools.
- Or if you're an advanced hacker who like an open starting point to build upon (in that case you'll feel at home with the
Makefile-based internals).
- If you don't want to know that virtually all Integrated Development Environments are indeed graphical front-ends for a toolchain.
- If anything looking like a command line or an open-source style environment makes you sick. In that case, it might be interesting for you to read Wikipedia's article about Hacker (programmer subculture) and ponder whether some kind of structure or common tools helps every member of a community.
- Why this tool ? more about the situation that
cpc-dev-tool-chainis meant to solve. - How to install
- Just get a copy in a local directory.
cpc-dev-tool-chainonly needs a bunch of common tools (definitely available and often already installed in most Linux PCs). - It then installs automatically on-demand the needed third party tools (like Z80 compiler).
- No global change or administrator permission needed.
- Just get a copy in a local directory.
