RevEng Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yep, definitely excellent. @mksmith did a great job with it! ADS comes bundled with 7800basic, so I think it should be setup already, but I'm a diehard command-line and makefile guy, so I'm not entirely sure. Matt, care to lend a hand? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi @EvoMikeUK! I had a report a few days ago regarding the same message and we decided to go the full 64-bit compiler as that appears to be working - I just hadn't been able to get to that as yet. You can manually download that and update the chosen compiler in the settings. Am sending you the instructions via Github shortly ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get it sorted as soon as I can - probably the next 24 hours as I'll need to update my macOS to the latest I think to make sure everything is working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes correct, when I hit the compile button in Atari Dev Studio (which is excellent btw!) it comes up with that initial error I posted: ### ERROR: couldn't find bB binaries for Darwin(x86_64). Exiting. I ran into this issue with Atari Dev Studio as well. It comes with its own copy of bB. Since you also installed bB by hand, you can tell Atari Dev Studio to use that version instead. Here's a screenshot from my installation. Your specific directory will be different, of course: If you aren't sure what directory it is in, you can type the following in a terminal window to find out. E.g.: Karls-MBP:penult kdgarris$ which 2600basic.sh /Users/kdgarris/atari/bb/2600basic.sh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it is only giving execute permission to the binary. I'm pretty sure also needs to be readable to work: Karls-MBP:x64 kdgarris$ sudo ls -l Stella.app/Contents/MacOS/Stella ---x------ 1 kdgarris staff 4518752 Mar 10 18:17 Stella.app/Contents/MacOS/Stella 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm updating to the latest release so once that's done i'll check it out. I probably just need to do what i've done with the compilers rather than being more specific than I did with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Ok I've updated to the latest macOS and are receiving the error as well - the good news is i can now try and find out what the problem is - whether it's a permissions thing or a script thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mksmith Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 @RevEng Ok it looks like my silly mistake now I can replicate the issue - I had hardcoded in the architecture as .x86! I need to do a ChMod on the compilation files (in Linux and macOS) to allow them to work. Missed that one when the x64 versions started coming in ??? It has now only shown up as we have been forced into using x64 by the latest Apple update. Making the changes and will test across each OS - hopefully a new release coming in the next few hours (I need to pop out to my daughters basketball training in an hr). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
