Megadrive SDK

[8bitwizard]

I finally sat down and put together a SDK for the Megadrive from stuff I had done a while back. It uses GCC 3.4, binutils 2.20, and newlib 1.18, and should run on any Unix-like OS with gnu utilities. (Sorry, no Windows.) However, I've only actually used it on OS X.

It's basically a couple of build scripts and a few other assorted files. It will automatically download and build the compiler, then you have to do some setting up. I separated most of the non-changing stuff from the make files and cartridge header, which was the work I had been putting off for a while until I came up with a way to do it. It comes with a sample "hello world" program that you can use as a starting point.

Then it took me an hour or two to convert three existing projects to use it to make sure it worked right.

This is my first cut of it, so there may be some minor changes later, but I think it's about what I wanted it to be.

Is that my proxy which limit access to the site or the link is really dead ?

[notaz]

Works from here.

[TmEE co.(TM)]

cannot access from here either...

[8bitwizard]

I need to fix my secondary dns already...that computer died months ago and i already have a replacement set up.

EDIT: done... but it'll probably be a whole day before the update hits

[Stef]

it's fixed here

[Chilly Willy]

Not here (US) - xi6.com fails to resolve.

[Chilly Willy]

Still fails to resolve. How about a mirror somewhere else?

So this should work on Ubuntu?

[Chilly Willy]

Still doesn't resolve.

[8bitwizard]

Then your ISP sucks or has the address range blocked. At least try the nslookup command and see which it is.

[Shiru]

Works for me, I've mirrored the file here (I'll delete it eventually).

Can't say anything about it, though, as I'm not Linux user.

[8bitwizard]

Maybe. It might need a tweak or two.

Next time I mess with it I'm going to put it in a directory so it's obvious which is more recent. As it is now (using a symlink), you end up downloading it without the date in the filename.

Thanks! For some reason, that whole site hasn't resolved for days. The latest page google has cached is from the 9th.
