Harry Potter Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi! I am looking for an Atari 8-bit-hosted C compiler. I think I have Lightning C somewhere, but IIRC it doesn't support structs. Where can I find another C compiler that works on an 8-bit Atari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 I found OSS-C65 and Deep Blue C, but they don't have the features I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Given the limited capacity of the Atari 800 system, you will be most likely more dissatisfied with A8-hosted compilers than with CC65. There is a reason why commercial software for 8-bit Atari written in C has been so rare. In my opinion, the biggest challenge for CC65 users is mastering the linker. However ld65 is extremely simple compared to let us say GNU Linker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
