Apple2

• June 2024
  • move build/makefile over to fenrocks makefile system
  • adjusted BSS to fit in space allocated

Building on Platforms

Atari

• need the Mad-Pascal (MP) 32-bit Turbo Pascal compiler - https://mads.atari8.info/doc/en/index.html
• no more info currently

ADAM

• need zcc compiler for ADAM.
  • https://github.com/z88dk/z88dk/wiki

Apple2

• cc65 & fn-libs (pulled automatically) are used to build the Apple2

  • git clone https://github.com/cc65/cc65.git
  • make clean && make PREFIX=/usr/local && sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local
  • Verify with this command:
    • cl65 --print-target-path

c64

• cc65 is used to build for the C64
  • See Apple2 above for cc65 installations

Coco

• Color Computer builds with CMOC - CMOC is a 6809-generating cross-compiler for a large subset of the C language
  • http://perso.b2b2c.ca/~sarrazip/dev/cmoc.html
    • download lwtools, make, make install
      • http://www.lwtools.ca/releases/lwtools/lwtools-4.22.tar.gz
    • download cmoc, make, make install
      • http://perso.b2b2c.ca/~sarrazip/dev/cmoc-0.1.86.tar.gz

VIC-20

• cc65 is used to build for the VIC
  • See Apple2 above for cc65 installations

Usage and Application Notes

Apple 2

• Apple2 builds fine but it requires a API key from OpenWeatherMap
  • https://home.openweathermap.org
  • You need to setup an account, request on-by-one and get an API Key
  • You then must upgrade that key to be "Base Plan" - which is free for first 1000 calls
    • you will need to register your name a credit card to get the plan

This isn't optimal but it's what required right now in June 2024, other API plans will be explored.

• Put the contents of the KEY (32 bytes long) into a file named '56000101.key'.
• Save the file in the /FujiNet directory of your Fujinet SD card.
  • full path would be: SD/FujiNet/56000101.key
  • Note capitalization

Other Platforms

Work as expected...
