Code::Blocks - DC Dev R2

[emptythought]

As of this release I'm no longer releasing the dependent configurator or the manual tutorial separately as I will include it in future releases of DC Dev ISO.

Here is the list of changes.

- GDB is setup and working
- bin2o program (located in the "Tools" menu)
- MinGW 3.4.6 toolchain
- KOS updated to revision 561
- KOS built in MinGW
- dc-tool IP and Serial included and built in MinGW (/kos/utils/dc-tool)
- scramble has been included (/kos/utils/scramble)
- SDL headers and lib issues has been resolved
- Option to compress the toolchain using UPX

This is working with the official February 08 release (8.02) of CodeBlocks, so if you're still using the nightlies then now is the perfect time upgrade I think.

GDB is working. However, after you run the debugger (by pressing the "Debug / Continue" button) do not push it again or push the "Run to cursor" button as they will reset your DC. Hopefully someone will convince the CodeBlocks guys to pass "continue" to GDB rather than "run," or at least the option to change this behavior.

To build a romdisk:
Goto Tools, genromfs (indep).
Then Tools, bin2o (indep).
Open romdisk.img and save it as romdisk.o.

I recommend you also grab dc-tool GUI and extract it to a permanent home and add it as one of the tools.

Code: Select all

Name: dc-tool GUI
Executable: D:\dreamcast\pc tools\dctoolgui\dctoolgui.exe
Parameters: ${PROJECT_DIR}${TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE}

Don't forget to check "Start GDB server" in the settings of dc-tool GUI if you want to use GDB.

Has anyone had any trouble with this compiling on Vista giving an error about an installation problem for cc1plus? I remember using it on Vista Before so I'm not sure if it has to do with me using a bleeding edge version of Code::Blocks, or if it's because I have default.conf in Code::Blocks' root folder.

I still get one hell of a lot of errors when trying to compile with this.
As if the whole toolchain was missing...
Maybe there are some route issues? Due to system language differences maybe?
I can't compile neither using the independant or dependant compiler...
My toolchain is well configured as I can compile with cygwin or my linux toolchain properly

[emptythought]

Goto your projects' build options and set the compiler to DC.

[Neoblast]

I did, yet all of those errors still appear...

[mankrip]

I just installed this, and the DC Dev ISO R4. Is this redundant?

I've got nxMakaqu 1.3 to compile through the Cygwin bash shell, now I'm going to try through Code::Blocks.

By the way, great work. Thanks.

[emptythought]

Yeah. Pretty much... This doesn't have the arm compiler though.

[emptythought]

I updated the wizard for (at the absolute least) Ubuntu 10.04 and Code::Blocks 10.05. If you use Windows you might need to use the new wizard or you may not. If you do install the application then overwrite the wizard located in Z:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\share\templates\wizard.

[Dreamcast]

I can't install either R1 or R2. The "continue" button is never selectable at the install path. All of the areas I've tried to install to have more than enough hard drive space.

[RyoDC]

Hmm. I can't connect the compiler and stuff to my CodeBlocks...

[emptythought]

8.10 is supported...

[DrNicholas]

I keep getting undefined errors when compiling stuff. Why is that? SDL says it has something to do with gcc.

Could one of you make a step by step forum what to fix when this happens?

Does anyone have a spare coders cable to give me ?

[RyoDC]

Could one of you make a step by step forum what to fix when this happens?

Go to your DDEr4.cdi, open Extras\Tutorials, open "Configuring Codeblocks" and read it very carefully.

[RyoDC]

Because codeblocks sucks. Rude. You say to me 'rude'. Ha! When I tried to get any f--ing answer on this annoying questions in better case I was just ignored. So say "thanks a lot, my master", and be full of gratefulness.

[DrNicholas]

thanks, i dont even remember typing rude XD stupid galaxy s keyboard auto correcting lololol.
