Bill_gmr Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I downloaded Inty Basic but cannot get it to work. I'm using a Mac with OS X 10.9.1. Via Terminal, I go to the folder which contains intybasic and type "intybasic game1.bas mygame.asm" When I do this I get a message saying "intybasic: command not found." What am I doing wrong? Are the exec.bin and grom.bin files on the Intellivision Lives or Intellivision Rocks CDs? I have both, but I don't see these files anywhere on the discs. Thanks.

+DZ-Jay Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Those are two separate issues. First, let's get you going with the compiler. You have to change permissions of the IntyBasic file to make it executable. From the command prompt in Terminal (the "$"), type the following: $ chmod 755 intybasic After that, it should work. Now, you still need to set up the assembler and the SDK. -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hmmm. I thought ZIP compressor would keep permissions, but DZ-Jay is right. Another thing in Mac OS X is that as IntyBASIC isn't in search path, you need to invoke it using this in IntyBASIC directory: ./intybasic game.bas game.asm More notes to add in the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_gmr Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hey, it works! Thanks for both suggestions. Next I'll start with the assembler and SDK. Are the exec and grom files located on the 'Intellivision Lives' or 'Intellivision Rocks' CDs? Thanks again. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill If you put the "Intellivision Lives" cd in a windows machine, these files show up in the root directory. On the Mac, they seem to be hidden.

ravenxau Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I just tried to complie an included example with intybasic and get the following error: system cannot execute specified program I'm running Windows Xp SP3 are there any necessary .dll files or anything else that I may be missing?

+Tarzilla Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Making sure you have the latest version would be the first step. This Thread has the newest version http://atariage.com/forums/topic/232063-intybasic-compiler-v10-crunchy-tasty/ However, a new version, which will vastly improve your ability to compile and understand, is coming soon. I can't say exactly, but soon. Edited July 12, 2015 by Tarzilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 FWIW, I'm using Windows XP SP3 and have no problem using neither the compiler nor the as1600 assembler from the jzintv package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
