I'm REALLY fed up with trying to configure my Alcyon C compiler to run
in a ram disk neatly. I'm using microGnu Emacs, and the Alcyon C stuff,
and I want to have the modules used in compling in another dir. I can
do all this, but the programs that actually compile things look in the
default dir for the modules so I have to go and modify the batch files
to give explicit pathnames for each program and file. Unfortunately,
link doesn't take pathnames. Drat.
What I'd REALLY like is a cc style compiler that calls the approp.
commands and changes the default path, etc. Is there something like
this or do I have to suffer and try to write it myself??
What kind of setups are the people who are writing so much software
using? Like Moshe Branner, Bammi, and Simon Poole??? I hope everyone's
not using pascal.
SOMEONE HELP!

QUOTING ME!
I'm seriously considering writing a program to filter the stuff that
comes thru this meeting and munging statistics to see exactly how much
NEW stuff is comming in.
but, I really do need that cc program HELP!sansom@trwrb.UUCP (02/25/87)

A patch to link68 was posted some time ago by someone (sorry, I don't remember who) which fixed the pathname problem. That is, sort-of fixed it. Link68 still has problems with long pathnames, but at least you can specify something like "a:\lib\aeslib" with no trouble. I'll do my best to dig that old article up (maybe someone can get to it before I do). Several PD cc programs have been posted to this newsgroup. Before I got MWC, I was using the one posted by J. R. Bammi. Also, the last version of PD make was quite good. If you like, I can mail you copies of these programs. -Rich -- __________ ______ ____ _____ ___ /_________//___ ||__|/____|/__/ Richard E.

You should check out Beckemeyer's C-Shell (Beckemeyer Development Tools), which is a nice C-Shell style command line interpreter that supports scripts, path environments (path = . C:\source c:\bin c:\lib, etc.) and a bunch of other stuff. BDT is in Berkeley, CA. --alex @ Atari BIX: alexl. GEnie: ALEXLEAVENS Atari: 408-745-2160
