Crossdevelopment on Mac OS X
Hi everyone... not sure if this is in the right phorum, but here we go anyway...
I'm looking for crossdevelopmet tools for OS X (10.3.9). Things like a gfx program, music editor, asambler, etc... Is there anything avalible? I'm already doing stuff on the c64, but it would be nice to also do stuff on my mac...
Also, I'd like to hear some feedback from people actualy using the tools...
and, another question: is there anything similar to a x1541 cable for mac? or should I just do it the way I do it now (download on older mac, put on 3.5" disk to xfer to 486 laptop, use starcommander from there to xfer to a 5.25" disk..)?

For assembler I'd use CA65 + Make + Favorite text editors. Those tools are at least compilable for OS X.
Regarding transfer I strongly suggest you buy yourself an RR+RR-net. Graham's tools codenet + warpcopy outperfoms anything. At least codenet exists as command line tool for linux and should be recompilable for OS X. warpcopy is in the makings as a command line tool aswell and should also be compilable for OS X (it could already be released, don't remeber). |

I used a PowerBook for a few months, but switched back to PC. During that time I managed to code some stuff in KickAss, which is Java and therefore runs everywhere (tm), but the main problem was the lack of good emulators. The best one I found was called Power64, but it's a far cry from Vice when it comes to emulating VIC-tricks. I guess it emulates Basic properly though ;-) |

Groepaz: Yeah, guess the problem was that I couldn't get it to work or something. |

The k2asm package also runs on Mac OS X, and has some graphic converters.
Most of the graphic converters are not online, though, and you need to compile the package on your own.
Next Version of k2asm will have more graphic converters (as most of them are running stable in production environment for the last years), and maybe i can poke howkey to do a Mac OS X Installer.
Please note also that k2asm only consists of commandline-tools, no fancy GUI, and that will not change in the future.

Have Fun,

When I just got my mac, I had the Vice binaryes (The one Graham talks about) running. However after some standard software upgrades etc. it doesn't. So I guess you first have to figure out under which conditions vice runs.
Btw. I use Kick Assembler. It also have some graphics conversion tools. As editor I use Eclipe. Both are available for Mac Os. Eclipse have all the functions you need when programming. However it has alot more since it's normally used for java development, so for new programmers it might be easier with a simpler editor. |

If the VICE binaries don't work, just compile the source. Recent versions (1.19 and up, iirc) work out of the box with ./configure ; make && make install.

Vice only runs if you have X11 installed aswell (obtainable from the Apple website)

that is beyond my buget... I'll have to save up... with a bit (or allot) of luck, I'll have it februari/march...
Why don't they just invent a USB/FireWire/SCSI xfer cable..?

Because a USB/Firewire/SCSI xfer cable would cost as much as an RR-Net.
