Hi there!
After this almost turned me into a nervous wreck, I
thought it's better to save others the trouble and tell
you about my discoveries.
Well, it started harmless. I just wanted to use Glenns
asymetric PF template once more for some experiments
with PF graphics, when I found, that I was not able to
properly compile it anymore by any means.
First I suspected the new DASM, but quickly found that
the old one produced the same result, a zero length
file.
So, I tried this and that, analyzing all DASM output,
checking all symbols *manually*, trying this, trying
that.
Well, finally after almost an hour, I found what causes
the troubles: ->Segments<-
Well, so the new vcs.h starts defining segments.
Once you start using segments, it seems like it is a
must to use segments for everything - and most of the
old sources simply don't do that, because they aren't
segmented at all.
Well, I'm not sure wether the segments are required in
VCS.H or not or wether DASM should probably handle this,
but I found an easy fix:
Just adding an additional segment like
SEG Bank0
at the very end of VCS.h, seems to do the trick.
Then according to my experiments, both unsegmented and
segmented sources seem to compile fine.
I'm not sure, wether this is the ultimate solution
though. Maybe Andrew can further investigate...
Greetings,
Manuel
