.anyway i think i have to show you my very first SDCC app. built in OSX:

hey!  what happened to the dedication?

oops emmm sorry J is right so here we go...

..emm for the friendship and the free laughs offered in the chat by Mr J. the man which guitar throws are known (and feared) by public and public medical services, for his famous motto "25 is better than none" i dedicate officially my first SDCC built application to Jimp..

Well, I did everything how Audiocommander told us to do it and.... it works!
Thanks!

[audiocommander]

nice to hear that, wackazong - and thanks for the feedback

happy coding!

Hi!

I cannot find the C skeleton anymore? Is it part of the base package now? Sorry, but I am a first timer, and last time I installed the XCode stuff I actually did not do any coding.

And: How do I adjust the C Skeleton to work on a PIC18F4685? That ist the one I am using.

Thanks!
ALEXander.

Hi,

sorry, there have been many many changes lately and a completely new skeleton has been introduced with the ability to include libs - but I have had no time yet to catch up, so I cannot say much to this.
Though there are some newer topics here regarding that, maybe you should look around a bit.

The basics of how to get SDCC and GPUtils working with Xcode should be still valid though.

Best,
Michael

Hi Alexander - in another thread I had the same question regarding the skeleton code. Yes, it's been moved to the mios base package.

Hello,


I just made an update of the installation instruction for sdcc in http://www.midibox.o...nd_sdcc_on_osx. If you have MacPorts (http://www.macports.org) installed (which is usewfull for other terminla apps) then you can install sdcc from MacPorts repository.

I hope this helps

Michael

Welcome aboard Michael!

Thanks for the doco! I had a look, and I noticed that you have added stuff about macports, and removed something about Fink. I'm not a Mac user, so maybe this new method is the only way to do it, but perhaps it would be best to leave two methods in place, and allow the reader to decide which one to use....

[audiocommander]

Hi Stryd,

I was the one who removed Fink. AFAIK MacPorts and Fink are two similar but different solutions that I believe are a bad idea to mix up. As the install of SDCC has been improved much in the past, I don't think it's necessary anymore to mess around with single libs & dependencies.
;-)

Best,
Michael

[stryd_one]

Just wanted make sure it's not lost info... Sounds like it's better off lost after all.

Thanks man

mmmm, doco.

Hi guys!

I am new to the whole midibox thing and i am just trying to set up my programming environment. I am using Leopard 10.5. and installed sdcc (I downloaded a package from audiocommander).
I also downloaded the gputils pack (probably from audiocommander, too, i can't remember), but the problem is: It seemed to install properly, but in spotlight there is none of the gputils files (e.g. gputils). Any advice?

I know, probably very basic problem, but i am just not getting it...


btw: My programming skills are pretty outdated, I did some MSDOS programming some time ago, so sorry if this is a stupid question: But why does it say "download and compile sdcc"?? I mean is there any problem when i download the "final" version of sdcc which is already a binary? Or is it (for whatever reason) a kind of standard in linux (or mac) to download the sourcecode of compilers and build the binary for yourself? I mean this is pretty confusing for noobs like me...


thank you & have a nice sunday

I think I got it know, but where the hell is "Makefile.spec" and "mkmk.pl"?? Is it part of Mios? I think it should be, but it isn't in the mios_base folder...

In case anyone is struggling to compile their apps, here's what I do. Edit your project files in Xcode (or TextWrangler if you prefer something lighter), save your files, then open Terminal.app.

Now type 'cd ' (without the quotes, but including the space. Now drag your project folder from Finder onto the terminal window. Now hit your return key. This will tell terminal that we want to use this folder as our root folder.

Finally type 'make' and hit enter. A couple of moments later you have a .hex file which can be uploaded with MIOS studio.

I'm doing like you but I prefer to work with a IDE without shell :(
I think that I'll migrate to parallel with winXP and notepad++ so I can see Highlights on line Error and so on.

But nobody works on Xcode?!

If mkmk.pl is obsolete... why nobody upgrades wiki pages?

Then i thought that it might be, because i have the latest Xcode 4.xy installed and should have version 2. But Apple does not provide Xcode 2 anymore. Xcode 2.3 is the latest version they list in the Developer Center. Does Verion 2.3 work for MIOS Programingas well?
Which version is best?

Thanks

It is possble to program entirely in Xcode 4.3 under Lion. See the post on http://midibox.org/f...code-43-latest/

Hey only just found this thread. I get the following error when building the skeleton app:

make: execvp: /usr/local/bin: Permission denied

Whereabouts in the shell script do I give execution rights to /usr/local/bin?

It's also worth adding that although I've been following the tutorial on http://www.midibox.o...as_ide_on_a_mac I've skipped the makefile target phase, partly because there are some discrepancies between versions of the SDCC skeleton. For one, the file MAKEFILE.SPEC does not exist in the newest version.

Cheers
