Exomizer problems on mac os?

Hi to all!
Do you guys encounter strange behaviour of exomizer on mac os (intel)?
I use this command:
./exomizer.exe sfx basic main.prg -s"lda #$01 sta $d021" -o test.prg

causes exomizer to stop with this message:
line 864, syntax error, unexpected STA
Parse failure.

this command:
./exomizer.exe sfx basic main.prg -x "lda #$01 sta $d021" -o test.prg
gives:
line 1290, syntax error, unexpected STA
Parse failure.

Both commands work OK on Windows.
Exomizer compiled on mac os without any warnings or errors. What do I do wrong? or is it mac os version issue?
TIA


[edit]
I get these messages with exo 3.0.2
3.1.1 stops as well but with:
line 1434, syntax error
Parse failure

[edit2]
It's the quotes.... XD
Thanks Trap!

Interesting, I didn't know zx0 was now able to make c64 sfx programs. As of now I think it was only used for the loader in Vinyl Tribute #2 unless there are other demos where Bitbreaker isn't credited for the loader.
Can anyone build zx0.exe for win32/win64? I don't seem to have all tools required in the makefile from the bitfire 1.0 repo.

I've used the ZX0 SFX option for a game on the Transwarp showcase images.
But let's not confuse decrunch-loading ZX0-packed files with having an executable packed with ZX0. :)
That said, the SFX portion still needs a bit of love, Exomizer is more mature in that regard.

Anyways, the tools you need are standard *NIX tools like grep, sed and hexdump. These should also work in a Windows incarnation (from mingw et al.).

Regarding the macOS issue: make sure to disable "Use smart quotes and dashes" in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text. Otherwise, macOS will happily convert your quotes in the shell to start and end quotes, which will confuse most commandline tools.

Yeah that's mega annoying. I disabled it already as it made using the Vice monitor impossible. ;)

feature requests/suggestions welcome, so just let me know what i can improve :-) Meanwhile there's also salvador that outputs zx0 format, but crunches as good as the slow zx0 crunching, but as fast as with the quick mode. As i made some slight changes on the zx0-encoding to make it suit better for the 6502, i need to adopt/fork from the original though or think about a reencoder that also includes all the c64 features needed.

Yeah, no, Terminal does not convert to smart quotes — it would cause mayhem if it did that. Other apps do though, like TextEdit.app. And of course if you paste smart quotes they are preserved.
