The free SDCC-compiler

[robban]

Hi!

Has anybody tried this one yet?
It will compile Z80, Intel 8051, Motorola 68HC08, Maxim 80DS390 and work is in progress for the Pic16 and pic18 series.
If You got some spare time to fiddle around with it, pls. let me know...

i tested with pic16. its good alternative, is for command line (for windows user). i see a IDE called "Code::Blocks" in http://www.codeblocks.org/ but i cant to link with sdcc

Have You tried to put the binaries in Yr. path? I use TextPad and declared the user environmental variables in Windows "include" and "lib" as new variable names with their respective path. Then it's all go... except for one thing; forget the "User manual". It's written for those already blessed. And - beside - PIC user's should not worry, they have nothing to offer You. I'm not dissing the authors, but until they come up with something that can match even user friendly CCS-C or WIZ-C, it's not worth trying. Prove I'm wrong...

  I have used the SDCC compiler both for 8051 and for PIC.  The last time was about a year ago.  At that time the PIC port(especially the PIC 14) still needed some work done.  But, it was usuable.  I use it under Windows and for an IDE I use JFE (Jen's File Editor) located at
