CYGWIN, I believe, allows some native Linux programs to run on a Windows
machine, as WINE allows some Windows programs to run on a Linux machine. By
native I mean a simple copy of the binary executable file transferred from
one machine to the other. There may well be other shells/emulators that
Sadly, though you may know, you haven't shed light on WHY this SDCC stuff
isn't promoted as a DOS program, rather than a Windows program.
If it requires an add-on to Windows, WHY? What does that do?
Do you seen what I mean? Why is there a CYGWIN? ... and what's that other

Nobody's complaining about the software being "free." I'm complaining about

Philipp,
I tested SDCC 2.8.3 sdcc-src-20080903-5228 snapshot on our Z80 project
today. The result is really good. The original 2.8.0 compiler gives code
size of 168411 bytes, and this new snapshot reduced the code size to 162208
bytes, a 3.7% improve! Thanks for the great work.

Have a look at Debian Linux and in particular the Ubuntu packaging of
that variant.
About the only thing I haven't yet got a solution to satisfy my needs on
that OS varia
