+Gemintronic Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Figured I'd detail my newbie failures. Not just for advice (compiling an example) but feedback from a beginners perspective. This is after several searches and trying to follow manual.txt So, I dumped the contents of intybasic_compiler_v1.2.8.zip into C:\Dev\IntyBASIC I opened up a command prompt in the samples folder and tried this: C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\samples>..\intybasic test.bas test.asm IntyBASIC compiler v1.2 Aug/19/2015 (c) 2014-2015 Oscar Toledo G. http://nanochess.org/ Error: unable to include: intybasic_prologue.asm Error: unable to include: intybasic_epilogue.asm 3 used 8-bit variables of 228 available 0 used 16-bit variables of 47 available Compilation finished I then tried to run the second step as such: C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\samples>..\as1600 -o test.bin =l test.lst test.asm It looks like the file as1600.exe doesn't exist. I didn't see a link to it in the list of downloads to get in regards to IntyBASIC. After doing a Google search on "as1600 + intellivision" I found a website with jzintv-1.0-beta4.zip that had the as1600.exe in a bin directory. I dumped the bin folder contents into the C:\Dev\IntyBASIC directory. I tried "C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\samples>..\as1600 -o test.bin =l test.lst test.asm" once again and got this: C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\samples>C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\as1600.exe -o test.bin -l test.lst test.asm ERROR SUMMARY - ERRORS DETECTED 1393 - WARNINGS 0 I know I'm getting something fundamentally wrong here. How do I compile and run one of the sample programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Did you try installing the SDK instead of trying to put a working system together yourself? Edit: I forgot to add that the latest SDK can be downloaded from the 1st post here :- http://atariage.com/forums/topic/240526-introducing-the-intybasic-sdk/ Edited March 13, 2017 by GroovyBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I installed the SDK with default settings previously. This time I tried deleting my current C:\Dev\IntyBASIC I then uninstalled the SDK and reinstalled it to C:\Dev\IntyBASIC I then opened up a command prompt and got into the C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\Examples\Hello folder. This is what happened when I tried to run IntyBASIC on the hello.bas: C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\Examples\hello>intybasic hello.bas hello.asm IntyBASIC compiler v1.2.8 Oct/07/2016 (c) 2014-2016 Oscar Toledo G. http://nanochess.org/ Error: Unable to include prologue: intybasic_prologue.asm Error: INCLUDE not successful in line 17 Error: not a constant expression in MODE in line 24 Warning: invalid extra characters in line 24 Error: missing right parenthesis in array access in line 33 Warning: invalid extra characters in line 33 Error: missing right parenthesis in array access in line 36 Warning: invalid extra characters in line 36 Error: Unable to include epilogue: intybasic_epilogue.asm Warning: variable 'DEF00' read but never assigned Warning: variable 'SCREEN_CS' read but never assigned Error: label 'SCREENPOS' undefined 2 used 8-bit variables of 228 available 0 used 16-bit variables of 47 available Compilation finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yeah, if you are, as you say, a newbie, then I suggest you try the IntyBASIC SDK instead of trying to set it all up yourself. It's not that direct use of IntyBASIC in the command line is not recommended, and we will help you set it up if you really want to go that way. It's just that you will find that te SDK encapsulates most of the complexity of building the source. For instance, the error you are getting is caused by missing information in your command line. IntyBASIC expects the epilogue/prologue library files in the current directory or their path supplied in the command line. Likewise, you will find that the emulator jzIntv will require various parameters describing the location of various necessary files such as the EXEC ROMs. The SDK sets all that for you so that you don't have to worry about it. dZ.

It shows you how to build and how to use it. For example, rather than calling IntyBASIC directly, you should use the "IntyBuild" tool. Note all examples and contributed programs in the SDK distribution were built using the SDK itself. dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You should also read the manual that explains the batch files. Its called "IntyBASIC SDK Tools Usage Guide.rtf" and lives in your C:\Dev\IntyBASIC\Documents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yep. It looks like the SDK has a usage guide.rtf that details how to use INTYBUILD.BAT I tried it out and successfully got a working ROM out of it. Thank you guys!
