I suspect java update somehow removed my older java runtime used by eclipse/WUDSN. Sorry, have no details about it, just frustrating not knowing what happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The download on my site contains it as complete package which also includes all assemblers and emulators pre-configured. So you't really have to care about the platform underneath. http://www.wudsn.com/index.php/ide/installation Peter/JAC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenrock Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi all, new WUDSN user here. Taking me back in time as I haven't used eclipse for a number of years! My question is, is there a way to allow compilation to use extended 65C02 instructions/modes, e.g. "BRA"? When I use anything like this, it just says "Undeclared macro BRA". I wondered if it's an assembler option, but seems to be erroring in parsing, so wondered if that's a config thing, or just not supported. MADS (the default assembler) seems to indicate it understands extended instructions ("Of course, all 6502 opcodes are available, as well as: ... BRA ..." - http://mads.atari8.info/mads_eng.html) Thanks for a superb environment for coding 6502 btw, it's a real joy to use. Coupled with altirra i'm getting example code running on a would be atari in seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrock Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 To answer my own question, I needed to add "opt c+" to the asm file, which then allows it to use BRA command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building can be done with regular batch scripts triggered from Eclipse. I'll send you a PM to sort this out. Can you PM me too please Jac?

I’ve just got the assembly side working but want to get pascal highlighting working and compiling too. To activate the highlighting, the .pas file currently needs to be opened with the "Generic Text Editor". You can do that via the context menu. The batch file to compile and run looks like this. It simply calls MP.EXE to generate the ASM file and then MADS to generate the XEX. @echo off setlocal set BASE_DIR=C:\jac\system\Atari800\Programming\Games\Example set RELEASE=Example set MP=%BASE_DIR%\mp cd %BASE_DIR% cd asm %MP%\mads.exe Example-Kernel.asm -o:Example-Kernel.xex if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :mads_error cd .. %MP%\mp.exe -d pas\%RELEASE%.pas if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :mp_error %MP%\mads.exe pas\%RELEASE%.a65 -x -i:%MP%\base -t:%RELEASE%.lab -l:%RELEASE%.lst -o:pas\%RELEASE%.xex if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :mads_error copy /B asm\Example-Kernel.xex + /B pas\Example.xex files\AUTORUN.ar0 if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :copy_error if exist mads_output.txt del mads_output.txt if exist mp_output.txt del mp_output.txt echo Copying background graphics. copy gfx\background\test\01\*.* files if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :copy_error echo Creating disk image. set ATR=%RELEASE%.atr atr\hias\dir2atr.exe -d -m -b MyDos4534 %ATR% files if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :dir2atr_error C:\jac\system\Atari800\Tools\EMU\Altirra\Altirra64.exe /singleinstance /disk:%ATR% /debugcmd:".batch Example.atdbg" echo Done. goto :eof :mp_error echo ERROR: MP error occurred.

To be precise, this activates 65816 mode. MADs does not have a separate setting for 65C02 (which is the minum CPU type which supports BRA). You can activate the related sytax highlighting in the preferences. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, assembling the file in WUDSN works fine, but when attempting Assembler -> Compile and Run, i get the error: Cannot execute application 'Stella' process '/Applications/Stella.app /Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output/hello.bin' in working directory '/Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output'. System error: Cannot run program "/Applications/Stella.app" (in directory "/Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output"): error=13, Permission denied The path to Stella is set as '/Applications/Stella.app' and the output directory for the assembled file is '/Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output'. Running $ open -a /Applications/Stella.app /Users/badlands/Documents/stella/output/hello.bin from the terminal (in the working directory) works as expected. SOLVED: need to specify full path inside the .app directory: /Applications/Stella.app/Contents/MacOS/Stella What do you mean by "specify full path inside the .app directory?" I am at a loss to understand where "inside the .app directory" is. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuttle Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 So i've been trying to research how to get this to solve the error above since I'm having the same issue with my MacOS. I've looked at the first 4 installation videos for WUDSN, I looked through this forum string, I read several "Readme.txt" files and website installation notes, and i figured out that i am not smart enough to figure out a solution to this. I thought maybe the best course was to try and make MADS work with Mac, so it says download the Pascal compile version to compile it for Mac. Okay, so download that version, download Xcode with Command line. Tried that...no luck. Maybe we need to try to default the ellipse to a different program. So all the different 8-bit Atari programs have a .mac-i386 extension to the .exe file. I know you can't run an .exe file without Windows and I've already previously tried to install Windows XP via Wine and Virtual Machine and that didn't go well either. I tried vectoring the "Path to Compiler" to the .mac-i386 extension but i keep getting the above error. Which is what I expected because I believe the .mac extension isn't a program its just an add-on to the actual .exe program. I would love to have the easy way to develop and run assembly code via eclipse for the Atari 5200 and Atari 2600, I've afraid I just don't have the skills to read between the lines on how to install and make this work. I even tried to write a Atari 5200 beginners threat using 5200Basic by Jeffry Johnson in 2004 ( ) , but got distracted with work and then converted from using Windows to Mac. WUDSN and Eclipse looks awesome and my hat is off to those who developed, created, and got it working on a Mac. It's either so simple I am missing the installation or it takes more than my skills and free time i have to make it work. I would appreciate any step-by-step instructions anyone can provide to make this work, but i also understand there is a certain level of "you gotta do it yourself" inherent in homebrew programming.

Native versions for the different platforms are available from my site. Please check http://www.wudsn.com/index.php/ide/installation#InstallingCompilers. It contains PPC and Intel32 bit versions. Which Mac OS version are you running? >I am at a loss to understand where "inside the .app directory" is. In MacOS the "App" is actually not a file, but a folder. You can display the content (i.e. subfolders and files) via the "Show Contents" or similar menu option. There you will find the actual executable file. - Peter.

scuttle Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 JAC! I'm on Mac OS 10.15.5. I was looking at other boards when i saw that i386 extensions for Mac are normally 32-bit and I'm running a 64-bit machine. Thank you hitbyambulance, I did finally get the full path. You have to open the Applications in a folder and then click "Show Package Contents" (right click) to get to see beyond the app that is launched when you click the icon. That one was not easy.

+JAC! Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 WUDSN IDE update 1.7.1 released The aim of this release was to gain long term stability and include pending fixes. It contains a lot of internal cleanups that you cannot see at the surface. The following visible changes are relevant for the users. Java and Eclipse After 7 years of successfully maintaining compatibility with Java 1.6/1.7, all Eclipse versions and the 32-bit architectures an era ends. Support by fixes in Java and Eclipse is only available for Java 1.8 and Eclipse 4.10 and later and both do not support 32-bit development environments anymore. Understandable in a time where every mobile phone has an 8-core 64-bit architecture. Therefore WUDSN IDE 1.7.1 requires Java 1.8, Eclipse 2019-06 (4.12), and a 64-bit operating system as a minimum. The 1.7.1 is intentionally a minor version update, so there are no major feature changes and people who cannot migrate to the new environment can, of course, download the older version from the Releases page. Pascal: Source code editor added with the first version of syntax highlighting for Pascal Source Files (".pas") that can be used with Mad Pascal. Since building with MapPascal is a multi-step process, an example script file for compiling is included in the "Atari800/Pascal" folder of the zero installation download. Hex Editor Support for parsing the structure of files in Interchange File Format ("IFF") added. Sound Editor POKEY emulation updated to ASAP 4.0.0 for compatibility and more accurate replay. Fixes: Online help now works again thanks to the update to Java 1.8 and the newer Eclipse version. Atari TrueType fonts by Mark Schmelzenbach updated to version 1.2, which fixes the look of the capital "J". If the "Skip All Breakpoints" option is active, breakpoints are now correctly skipped. Copyright, features, and GPL to updated to 2020. All links to the WUDSN site updated from "http://" to https://" 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukdukgoos Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I was able to get WUDSN working with 2020-09 by upgrading Java to version 14 (I used the OpenJDK version).

The versions given in the https://www.wudsn.com/index.php/ide/releases are of course minimum versions required for the plugin itself. I assume you ment the minimum requirement for Eclipse and that can of course be higher for newer versions of Eclipse. Request for Help: It's 11 years now since I started with the plugin. Some major things have changed in Eclipse and I'd need some help in replacing the deprecated action/actionSets extension point. So if there is anybody reading this who has experience with PDE development in the recent Eclipse builds, please contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was just sharing that for people who want to use the latest version of Eclipse. 2020-06 will be the last version of Eclipse that supports Java 8. If you want to upgrade to 2020-09 or later you have to upgrade Java too. So far I haven't seen any incompatibility with WUDSN 1.7.1/Eclipse 2020-09/Java 14, though I haven't extensively tested, just tried compiling/running a few things I have around. Is there anything specific you're concerned won't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
