C64 crossdeveloping suggestions?

Yep. I am motivated to start coding something on the C64 again. I need to use some helpful tools that will speed up developing and make things less frustrating. I am searching for crossdeveloping tools on the C64.

I am already considering kick assembler. But I might want to hear more suggestions. Btw,. is there a C64 emulator coming with internal assembler? Something like the thing I use on CPC, the Winape32 emulator/assembler? That would be great!

I'm just (re)starting playing with the C64.
I'm using relauch64 and KickAss along with winvice. I did pre-order a 1541ultimate too.
The most difficult thing to find are good graphics cross plateform tools for tile editing, tile map, sprite editor...That's why many use their own tools I suppose.
An all in one tool would be perfect, I don't know if that exist yet or not.

Running MacOSX:
- TextMate
- ACME
- make
- codenet
- vice
- pucrunch
- exomizer
- cc1541
- warpcopy
- an rr-rom with codenet support (by J0x)
(..and some other small tools, used only in some occasions)

Running win32:
Exactly the same tools, except for using UltraEdit instead of TextMate.

@Hein: I remember trying an older version of Sprite Pad which bugged a lot, but it seems like a useful sprite editor now. Nice...

ca65 (in the cc65 suite) is an excellent choice of cross assembler if you want to do more fancy/beardy stuff, but the advantages mostly come into play with larger codebases. gvim is my editor of choice, and I use GNU Make for the build system.

RadiantX does CA65 is better than KickAss, I heard that version 3 is planned but don't know the feature list.

I've read many posts about C64 cross dev but nobody ever recommended Snasm, made by an old DMA design programmer Its bizarre cause this guy is very talented. (dailly.blogspot.com)

kamelito: Don't know about that really; I have only looked very briefly at KickAss. How well does it handle things like relocatable code?

My main gripe with ca65 is that the preprocessor language can be a bit odd at times; apart from that I think it's perfect.

RadiantX: there a .pseudopc directive that let you assemble to a specific address while having code be like it was assembled to another.

I tried CA65 and I got errors, while I think I'm doing no errors.
ld65.exe: Warning: [builtin config](6): Segment `STARTUP' does not exist

I didn't find anything but one msg about it at lemon64 and one at comp.sys.cbm :-(

ca65 -t c64 clearscreen.asm
ld65 -S 4096 -t c64 -o clears.prg clearscreen.o

The file is created I got a clears.prg load ok through Vice but nothing at $1000.
And this error (see above)
Any idea ? (Asmone on the Amiga was easier ;)
