I am looking for a 68008 C Cross compiler for the Macintosh. I have a cross assembler that I like alot, but the same company doesn't make a compiler, nor do they know of anyone who does. This product would preferably create Motorola HEX, but straight HEX would be fine. Also as an alternative, I would accept a Pascal compiler. (Looking at thousands of lines of assembly, and many more yet to write has made me desperate.)

Quite a few folks do this with MPC C and the MPW linker. You then use a neat little utility that one of the folks at Apple developed (but it's not an Apple-supported utility) that takes the output resources and puts them into a Motorola hex format file for download to the target. I believe the code file came across the binaries group a while back, so it should be in the archives... Note that this is an MPW tool, so you need MPW to run it. If I remember correctly, it takes a file with the prescribed resource types and converts those resources. This means you can develop in any language. A cheap development system might then be Aztec C (with MPW). Good luck! - Jack B. amateur radio: wa4fib/7
