C Compiler

I wanted to get a working C compiler on the Z80 playground, so I googled around.

There are a few different C-compilers, but ultimately this link lead me to the Aztec compiler:

Binaries

You'll find the binaries installed in the C: Drive.

The following is a traditional sample program:

#include "STDIO.H"

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
   printf("Hello, world\n");
   return 0;
}

To compile this is a three step process:

Here's how I did completed the three steps. First of all compile the C to assembly:

C>cc hello
C Vers. 1.06D 8080  (C) 1982 1983 1984 by Manx Software Systems

Then assemble that:

C>as hello
8080 Assembler Vers. 1.06D

Finally link it, with the runtime:

C>ln hello.o t.lib c.lib
C Linker Vers. 1.06D
Base: 0100   Code: 0690  Data: 0030  Udata: 00dc  Total: 0007a0

The end result is hello.com which can be executed:

C>dir hello.com
C: HELLO   .COM
C>hello
Hello, world
