Good Afternoon.
After a long break, I decided to start work/play on the Sinclair QL FPC cross compiler.
I noticed that using any release of the vasm assembler, from 1.9 onwards, breaks the "crossall" build. It spits out a number of "warning 1007: scratch at the end of line" errors, then the build fails with 2 errors -- neither of which are displayed.
Reverting back to any of the 1.8 releases, 1.8l (ell) is the latest, and the build works fine.
I'm pretty sure almost nobody is building the cross compiler for this particular bit of 1980s hardware, other than myself and a couple of others, but hopefully this message will be useful to someone. It could be that the later versions of the assembler are going to break other M68K systems?
For best results, the 1.8l version of vasm can be obtained from http://phoenix.owl.de/tags/vasm1_8l.tar.gz and this is the most recent version of the assembler that will help build the cross compiler.
Cheers, Norm. -- <b>Norman Dunbar</b> _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
