RE: A92: Cross compiling GNU gcc for TI-89 & TI-92(+)




David,

I'd be really interested in that functionality, especially the FP routines.
However, I can wait until you have a completed FORTH-92.  Actually I am
quite anxious to be able to use FORTH on my 92.

By the way, do you know of any math libraries or assembly routines for the
92/89 which can be used to figure the lambda portion of a complex
mathematical integral?

I'm currently (still) working at my FORTH92 on-calc compiler.
In connection with that I'm writing a library, 'forthlib' which 
contains almost all routines that you may need for programming.
This includeds textmode routines like 'putchar', grayscale 
routines, file access routines and quite fast 48bit floating point
routines. If you're interested I could mail you the current version
of 'forthlib'. Since I'm going to have hollidays tomorrow, and 
since I'm mailing from my school's account, you'd unfortunately have
to wait about 7 weeks until you can get it. The library is written
for Fargo, so you'd have to convert some things to the TI-92+.

the idea to port GNU binutils and gcc to be used in compling for TI-89 and
TI92+. Everything might go just fine if knew how their fileformats (.o and
.89x) are arranged. But no, there doesn't exist any information. So, could
somebody please release them?

C-compiler available for public! Am I all alone with my dream, or  will this
going to be true?
