Bare bones assembly

davidsherman — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 15:26:22 GMT

Is there a way, short of invoking the Gnu assembler and linker directly through command line, of making an assembly-only bare bones KDS project? No startup libraries, no nothing. Older versions of CodeWarrior had an option to do this.

Hello David,

Do you want to call the compiler/assembler/linker directly outside Eclipse ?

The tool chain is installed on the folder \KDS_1.1.0\toolchain\bin.

You can call them through a .bat file for instance.

Have a great day,

No, that is not my question. As I said, I know I can invoke the assembler and linker outside of KDS, and I have done that successfully. My question is if there is a way to make a very basic project in KDS that builds a ROM from a single assembly source and still allows you to debug without having to invoke the assembler and linker from a .bat file. Even the most basic KDS project still links in startup libraries, and it creates some C source with a main function. If I take out the C source file, it won't build because it can't find a main function. Code Warrior had the option to do this.
