ok ^^
Well it seems the last Code::Blocks version is a bit different from the version i was using, there is minor difference in makefile command but nothing really important.
Hope you'll get it working

Ok, so i think i do know why the intial version wasn't working right on RH. I changed some stuff as Z80 BUS request with my own methods. I noticed Shiru's code wasn't waiting the acknowledgment of Z80 BUS request, i think that's why you meet some problems on RH.

i got a problem with the SDK. Until now, it was going great. But i updated a bit my project and now everytime i try to use make , i got a sh.exe crash dump... I'm not specialist un gnu tools, any idea ?

where does it crash ?

I got a lot of problem myself when you got a lot of files to link...
Else make.exe crashes times to times but relaunching it solves the problem (Win7 64bits)

i got a gud amount of files , it crash directly at the first gcc command

D:\Sources\>make -f makefile.gen
c:/sdk/gendev/bin/mkdir -p out
c:/sdk/gendev/bin/gcc -T c:/sdk/gendev/md.ld -nostdlib src/sega.o
...
psmisc.o -o out/rom.out
make: *** [out/rom.out] Error 5

I tried to reboot , but no luck (got xp sp3 32bits)

it's crashing either with codeblock either from the command line

EDIT i got 41.s files (with my gfx) , 18.c files and 18.h files

FIXED !!! the problem is that i got too many files.... So i replaced my 41 .s files containing my gfx by a HUGE .s file containing everything and it worked...

thanks for the help

What you might do instead is make one .s file that does an .include on the other .s files. That's pretty common in assembly language projects.

that's so straigth foward, that i should have thought about it !! shame on me coming from a full asm background

Well, I rarely did that, but I've noticed quite a few folks who do. I've even seen that in C code!

Hi all. Newbie here

I had the same problem but I found a different solution. It's about replacing original devkit sh.exe by the one on this page http://www2.cs.uidaho.edu/~jeffery/win32 It save my day. For compiling sources I restored original sh.exe. It works like a charm, many thanks.

And as newbie here comes my appli: would you point me some simple samples of sprites / background usage?

Dear Stef
Could you please make a tutorial on using your incredible SGDK,
or just an small source example with comments?
partic and particdac2 are great indeed,
but I'm begging You on my knees do something with sprites
