cc65/ca65 for Mac OS X?

Is there a specific version of cc65 for Mac OS X or would I just compile the source code for that platform?

There appear not to be precompiled binaries for Mac OS X or for Darwin. I'd just download the cc65 source code tarball from cc65 FTP and follow the instructions.

That's what I did. Thanks!

This is also required if you want to use the development (snapshot) version, which I recommend since it contains a lot of cool new features. Sources for that are under the "snapshot" directory.tepples wrote:I'd just download the cc65 source code tarball from cc65 FTP and follow the instructions.

Ugh 
Since upgrading to Lion I hadn't tried running CA65 and now I'm told that PowerPC programs are no longer supported. Fine, I thought, I'll just download the source and build it. WRONG! I also need to update Xcode tools to 4.x and the download size is 1.7GB! Jesus wept...
Can someone build CA65 (and LD65) as 64-bit binaries for me?

How'd you get Lion? That's even bigger.

I know. It's a long story. Since we moved house we have tragically slow broadband so I took my MacBook into the office to download Lion. I could do the same here for this, obviously, but the problem is I'm not in until Monday and have a bug fix to do on Pulsar. It can wait I suppose. It's just annoying when you gear yourself up for something (and I've actually found the bug) and then I'm tripped up by the tools.tepples wrote:How'd you get Lion? That's even bigger.

Can you get GCC from Fink?
PROTIP: When doing a major operating system upgrade, keep a second fallback operating system around to run in Parallels, VirtualBox, Boot Camp,* or another physical machine. I do most of my NESdev on Ubuntu, and getting ca65 set up is painless there:

- sudo apt-get install python-imaging-tk build-essential libsdl-image1.2-dev mednafen
- Download source code
- Configure, make, and install

I thought you were onto something there but amazingly when I tried to run Fink it says "Error: you must reinstall Xcode from your Developer Disk or go to http://connect.apple.com"
Found Xcode 4 at that URL eventually but it's 2.9GB LOL
I'm trying 'port' now too but that's failing.
I'm starting to not like this Lion update much.

Update? Didn't you have to buy it? But yeah also nearly every piece of Adobe software was broken I heard when it came out, probably broke a lot of other stuff too like this. Maybe read up on it first and wait a while longer with big updates.

Sorted it now.

For the record, if other people are that constrained on download throughput, then at the very least, they could try running the DOS version of cc65 in FreeDOS in VirtualBox.
