Release id #220685 : Krill's Loader, Repository Version 192

first of all a big THANK-YOU Krill for the (long-awaited) release!!!
a question about the new feature "PREFER_SPEED_OVER_SIZE":
with this setting disabled loader fits in my ideal place $0200-$03ff (no stack, no screen area, yuppy!), while if I enable it it gets bigger and it doesn't fit.
so based on your testings, how fast is the "potentially faster decompression routine" compared to the default one?

Quoting DeMOSic
ive tried Cygwin too. didnt work, i also tried reinstalling cygwin and following the guide in http://plush.de/map/Krills_loader_quick_setup_guide_for_Windows.. , installing perl and make from Cygwin instead of installing from windows.
Current Windows has WSL, does this work?

And well, bash or some equivalent *NIX shell is pretty much mandatory.

Do yourself a favour and by all means forget that cygwin even exists. Wipe it from your system as good as you can. Then use msys2. And use the windows perl.

(and that pdf needs to be updated badly too)

Making this stuff work in cmd.exe is seriously not what you want to do. Doing this with Makefiles that have not been written with cmd.exe in mind from the start can be a huge amount of work - and it'll be a VERY frustrating WTF experience if you have no experience with that stuff.

i would use MSYS2, i have that and WSL running, but i dont know how to install CC65 to something like MSYS2 or WSL, i will try downloading it now, and hope ittl work.

You can just install the regular windows cc65 and use that. That is one of the big advantages of msys(2) over cygwin

Or you can just build it yourself, it's open-source. =)

I suppose so, but using the windows build seems easier

rumours say that you need to be top level genius to make a build yourself of your loader :D
