BigFatGingerCat Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi all, Is anyone running a build setup using Sublime Text as their environment, on Mac OSX? Considering doing a bit of fiddling with 8-bit Atari as I never had one back in the day (started my career on C64, then Amiga/ST, right up to present day on mobile and consoles). I see quite a few cross-assemblers available (plus the likes of WUDSN), so since Sublime is one of my preferred environments I'm considering lashing up a build process around that. Just wondered if anyone had beaten me to it, save me some legwork Last week I stumbled across a great setup for C64 (http://dustlayer.com/c64-coding-tutorials/2013/2/10/dust-c64-command-line-tool) which is what got me thinking of Atari. In addition to finally having a crack at Atari coding after so many years, I've also got an XEGS system in transit - so I'll also own some hardware for the very first time. Not everyone's first choice of 8-bit Atari, but functionally fine even if it looks a bit odd Looking forward to poking around what I consider to be *the* classic system I never got the chance to play with...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Is anyone running a build setup using Sublime Text as their environment, on Mac OSX? I'm using 'Sublime Text' with cc65/ca65 on Ubuntu. If you once need a ca65 syntax-highlighting definition, I 've created one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatGingerCat Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks, I've already found a couple of syntax highlighters so I *think* I'm okay with that! Now I'm wondering which assembler(s) to choose... if I do decide to dabble again in a bit of 6502 coding as I explore the Atari, I may also do a bit of C64 and share some of the code between the two. Not yet sure which assembler(s) would be the best for this case, but I'm sure I can figure that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Not yet sure which assembler(s) would be the best for this case, but I'm sure I can figure that out Try ca65 from the cc65 package. There is not only support for both platforms, but - thanks to the flexible memory configuration - it is also easy to take care of the different memory maps...

You may be right, I was looking at this toolchain earlier and it does seem like it might be a good fit for what I'm thinking of. Thanks again.
