All the ARPTOOLS programs have been successfully compiled and tested with
Lattice C v5.0 in this configuration:
A500 rev 5 with A-501 like expansion
A590/XT FFS with 1 meg on board
Arp v39.1
ASH
Conman v1.32
In order to recompile sources, in addition to the Lattice compiler, the
ARP programmer's object libraries and C include files are needed.
At the beginning of every source file there are two lines with the compile/
link options to recreate executables. Clipping these lines out of the source
file and EXECUTE them works well.
In their present form ARPTOOLS programs can only be compiled with Lattice C.
For those willing to use the MANX compiler it should be pointed that:
o All programs use the Lattice resident startup code (cres.o) in order
to gain RESIDENT/Ares compatibility. Altough Manx does not provide
such a startup, one is found in the ARP programmer's package.
o To reduce executable size all programs define Lattice startup
function _main() for use as the main function. Furthermore other
Lattice startup functions are stripped out by definition as null
functions, and, as _main() is used, argument parsing is done directly
with GADS() (this way the first argument reported by GADS is NOT
the program's title, but the first user supplied argument).
MANX users should skip all this, or strip out similar Manx startup
functions like WB_parse().
o Some programs use builtin functions.
