When this stream first started, I was a bit skeptical. But, now it seems possible. Has anyone thought of putting a version of Sozobon [(or gcc) set-up to make Atari executables from a Sun] on atari.archive, or anywhere else. It would be helpful. -- Case Center for C.A.E., M.S.U., Consultant | schultzd@egr.msu.edu ACM, Michigan State Univ.

++ Has anyone thought of putting a version of Sozobon ++ [(or gcc) set-up to make Atari executables from a Sun] on ++ atari.archive, or anywhere else. It would be helpful. I have a gcc cross-compiler on a Sun. Trouble is, there's some hard-coded directory paths which make a compiled version not terribly portable. I guess that's why jbammi only distributes source code. -- Cheers, Graham ====== ------------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Higgins | Phone: (0272) 799910 x 24060 Hewlett-Packard Labs | gjh%ghiggins@hpl.hp.co.uk Bristol | gjh%ghiggins@hplb.hpl.hp.com U.K. | ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: My opinions above are exactly that, mine and opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------

At least one of our users has done this. I got a letter from a guy who was doing cross-compiles on VMS and downloading to his ST. There were (and probably still are) some gotchas to look out for when porting the Sozobon code to a host, depending on the word size and byte order of the host. But the code is pretty portable overall. If your host is enough faster than your ST and you have a reasonably fast link, cross-development could be a win. -- Tony Andrews uunet!dunike!onecom!raid5!tony Array Technology Corp. 4775 Walnut St., Suite B Boulder, Colorado 80301 USA

One example: A SUN4 running the ST version (as provided by bammi, FTP to dsrgsun.ces.cwru, if you can get through, I can't) compiling GNUPLOT 2 CPU time: 72 Secs SYS time: 14 secs All I need now is to find out why the program deosn't work on the ST... . Jens PS I'm only compiling on the SUN4 because I don't have enough memory in my ST yet. When I get enough memory, I'll use the ST only. With proper makefiles the compile speed itself should be a smaller sgnificane.
