installation
On Ubuntu Lucid Lynx :
cd cpcrslib/ z80asm -v -xcpcrslib.lib @cpcrslib.lst sudo cp cpcrslib.lib /usr/share/z88dk/lib/clibs/ sudo cp cpcrslib.h /usr/share/z88dk/include
now it should work.
Usage
A classic "Hello world" from cpcrslib :
#include "cpcrslib.h" // CPC Library
int main(void) {
cpc_PrintStr("Hello World!");
while (!cpc_AnyKeyPressed()) { }
return 0;
}
You should provide a zcc_opt.def in the source directory :
DEFINE DEFINED_myzorg defc myzorg = 16384 IF !NEED_appstartup DEFINE NEED_appstartup defc reqpag = 32 defc NEED_expanded = 1 ENDIF
Compile the contents by running the compiler, pre-processor and linker in one go by typing:
zcc +cpc -create-app -make-app -O3 -unsigned -o hello.bin hello.c -lcpcrslib -lndos -zorg=16384
you'll have a hello.cpc file ready to be run on your CPC.
