TI4Linux Subject description: TI 99/4A Emulator - Not compiling. |
|
I recently downloaded and tried to compile TI4Linux. So far, nothing. On Puppy I get a complaint about not finding the command "make". On PCLinuxOS, I get complaints about code not compliant for C but for Ada95, yet even with Ada95 support it won't compile. Looking at the Makefile I find this line:
Quote: | archive: clean
@-delete force RAM:TI4Amiga.lha
lha -r RAM:TI4Amiga :TI4Amiga |
Now then if this program is supposed to be a TI emulator for Linux, is it possible it won't compile because the code is calling for an Amiga enviroment?
I am now trying to learn C/C++ so I don't quite understand what I am looking at. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: I won't even try to rewrite this COBOL. Learning C/C++ will be easier as by the time I finished rewriting it, I would have learned C/C++ and fixed the source code anyway.

There are a total of 21 files. 20 if I don't count the "diskrom.bin" file (which I can't seem to open anyway). I suppose that if asked, I could post the code from each the files and we can try to work through it together and those with more knowledge than I can tell me how the code is supposed to work and why. I hope to learn something from this.

you will need to download the devx for your version of puppy and read file:///usr/share/doc/HOWTO-program.htm for starters... more info in my signature - pet packaging

Ok. I tried mounting DEVX_400.sfs. Here is the result when I tried "make" this time:
Quote: | cc -02 -c -o ti99emul.o ti99emul.c
cc:error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory |

I am assuming you mean macpup dingo?
you need to use the boot manager to load the sfs - you can't just mount it

Alright, got the Boot Manager setup to load DEVX_400.sfs, then rebooted. Then went directly to rxvt, went to the appropriate directory and ran "make". Results? Exactly the same as before. Wonder what I'm doing wrong. I don't know. Maybe I am too stuck in the past to understand this..... :cry:

Can post a link to the source you are using?

I am tempted to copy the source by hand with a pencil into a notebook and, using a book on C++ programming, see if I can't figure out how the program is supposed to work and see if I can find why it doesn't work (at least for me).

there's another one here http://www.mrousseau.org/programs/ti99sim/archives/ti99sim-0.0.9.src.tar.gz
you need sdl+Dev to compile it plus I edited rules.mak file first and removed the extra O's.
not sure if it will compile, I don't have sdl installed, but from the looks of output, looks like it would work.

It would have been nice if you had shared the info from the README file
This is the source for a TI-99/4A emulator. By no means should this
set of source files be considered complete. I hope some gifted C-Programmers
will examine them thoroughly and make something beautiful out of it.
Already this code emulates a TI computer almost at its real speed on a
486-DX2-66MHz. Some speed sacrifices will have to be made in order to
emulate any graphics. But I trust the result will be satisfying enough
to make my efforts worth wile.
It is out of my hands now...

@technosaurus, I'm sorry about that. I did not give much thought to the read me as it did not contain any instructions with regards to compiling.
@ttuuxxx, I did not know of that TI emulator. I have now downloaded it. I will attempt to compile it. However, before I do, I will look at the rules.mak file and see if I can figure out what you suggest editting out.
Truthfully, there is a purpose to why I am trying to get this to work and its two-fold. Here it is:
1) My employer has asked me to write two articles for the company news letter. One on sports. The other on nostralgic computing. As it happens, I own a working TI 99/4A home computer. I think it would be a terrific picture if I could have both the 99/4A and the emulator (from my laptop) running side by side.
2) I am seriously thinking of trying to create a new puplet that has a fully emulated TI 99/4A work enviroment. I have not decided yet if I want to cripple it at that or if I want the emulator to run from within an otherwise fully functional modern desktop enviroment.
That is why I have an interest in getting a TI 99/4A up running. Yes, I know, its a bit personal. Still, thank you to both of you for the help and suggestions at this point. It has given me some points to ponder. I will see what I can do after work on Thursday.

Do you own a commodore 64? I had one as a kid and a TI99/4a but the Ti99/4a on linux look like they all are work in progress, I haven't came across one that works on the other hand I found a commodore emulator that emulates lots of different Commodore machines, I then converted my printer menu in 2.14X to a Commodore selector via the games menu

Ps a windows TI99/4a emulator with wine might be a better way to go, that would like having a emulated emulator emulator version. lol say that 10 times
