Re: [Simh] PDP-11 linux cross-assembler
2.11BSD's assembler, written in C, could be ported to gcc with some mechanical effort to turn the old KR C to something that gcc only gripes about but will compile. -Original Message- From: simh-boun...@trailing-edge.com [mailto:simh-boun...@trailing-edge.com] On Behalf Of Jordi Guillaumes i Pons Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 9:15 AM To: simh@trailing-edge.com Subject: [Simh] PDP-11 linux cross-assembler Hello, I'm looking for a PDP-11 cross-assembler executable under linux/unix.

Re: [Simh] PDP-11 linux cross-assembler
Richard Krebhiel (sp?) wrote a version of MACRO-11 in generic C. I thought it was part of the simh tools. I know it works under Windows - I'd be surprised if it didn't work (or couldn't easily be made to work) under Linux.

As far as I know, VAX/VMS comes with the PDP-11 Macro-11 assembler.

Re: [Simh] PDP-11 linux cross-assembler
You could always use one of the research unix assemblers. If you use Warren Toomey's Apout tool you can run them directly from the command line in any modern unix. For example we used it to build the 1st ed unix kernel with it: http://code.google.com/p/unix-jun72/source/browse/trunk/build/Makefile see http://code.google.com/p/unix-jun72/source/browse/trunk/tools/apout/README The unix assemblers output machine code with a very small and simple header on the front of it. It would be very easy to write a program to parse the header, extract the bytes you want and spit out data suitable for loading. Or you can just leave the header on, since it's executable.

I got one copy in my hard disk of macro-11, plus the source code. It's dated in 2001 but I suppose you can locate it yet inside the SIMH Tools package. -- Saludos - Greetings - Freundliche Grüße - Salutations -- *Sergio Pedraja* twitter: @sergio_pedraja skype: Sergio Pedraja - No crea todo lo que ve, ni crea que está viéndolo todo 2012/7/19 Bob Armstrong b...@jfcl.com Richard Krebhiel (sp?) wrote a version of MACRO-11 in generic C.
