WUDSN IDE: Integrate ACME or Kickassembler or ...
Hi there,
I'm the creator of the WUDSN IDE development environment. It can be used for different platforms and compilers.
For C64, currently ACME is included (not 100% yet). The next version will support MADS in all platforms.
Besides this, I'd like to include a special C64 compiler, because I know codes always have a lot a sources in their favourite syntax and they like to keep them. Therefore I'd like to get some feedback on the following question.
Which cross-compiler it used most often for C64 coding nowadays?
Is it ACME (seems a bit outdated for me), or Kickassembler (seems very vidid), or...

@PopMilo: I still hope a fairy grants me 3 wishes one day, one of them would be the English MADS tutorial for sure. Or enougth time to translate it myself...
@Oswald: No documentation yet, but I'll create one. I found that best thing is direct contact to the owner/maintainer of the compiler, because I also need a "test suite" and they usually have one for themselves already and this way I'm always informed about new features. In fact I have ACME and DASM definition almost complete already and regarding KickAss I'm in contact with Mads now. For ACME & KickAss the parser will have to learn "{ }" - what will change the XML and take some time, I assume. Also I want to separate the compiler from the hardware (currently they are linked, e.g. in the preferences).
So this thread was intended to get a "stament of direction", but of course I would really appreciate to have volunteers for testing.

looking forward for the docs, 64tass is a very simple compiler compared to the rest, I guess it will be easy to xmlize it :) |

In fact I had 64tass on my list also. Is http://singularcrew.hu/64tass/ the correct home page? |

Great :) Contact Soci / Singular in case of any 64tass questions, he's the maintainer atmo. |

Very (!) first step towards KickAss and CCS64 are working now. Just found that KickAss is case sensitive, so more work to come :-). Don't wonder that it's German, I'm also testing the localization.

This looks really promising! Keep up the good work! |

Next step: Compilers, platforms and instruction sets are now separated. This allows using the compiler on different platforms and having platform specific CPU/instruction set filters.

Wow, 7 months since the last update. I really should try to release smaller interations. When I think about the next release notes video, I might be creating one for KickAss only :-)
Now V1.6.1 is close to release and planned for next week. Of course it's not 100% (it never is) but it definitely ready for use with KickAss:
- Constants including their descriptions (that was hell of job...) added
- Case sensitive instructions are now supported
- Case sensitive identifiers are now supported
- The selection of the executable compiler now allows ".jar" files and starts them as "java -jar <file.jar>"
- Label definition can have a ":" suffix
- Hyperlinking works for Source includes via ".import", binary includes via "LoadBinary/LoadSID/LoadPicture", binary file output via "createFile"
- Source folding for blocks work (+/. signs in the source)
Notes:
- Only labels can start a column 0, mark a block and press TAB to indent all code, vars and functions.
- Named blocks and macro definitions are not yet handled correctly, esp. when they are nested
- Some build in functions like "sin()" are not yet highlighted

having kickassembler in WUDSN - when dreams come true - oh, sorry, ripped the slogan *somewhere*
thanks JAC, I am eager to have a look at the new version 1.61
