... Cross-compiling was a pain in the proverbial ...

Why? Was it because the dependencies were stale?

Where can someone obtain the updated source and make files and see your Herculean effort?

The reasons were many and varied

But basically :

1. Unfamiliarity with the entire cross-compiling process
   
2. A lot of the packages used ( libdsk/libzzip/libz/libbz2 ) don't exist as binary versions and need to be compiled on the host platform
   
3. Depending on the package(s) above,  significant work is required to amend configure scripts and Makefiles in order to get things to compile 
   

At the end of the day,  the msys2 dev/distibution platform ( msys2.org ) on windows made it relatively seamless to build things ( though not without some pain as per item 3 )

I think I am now pretty close to submitting the source and binaries to MSPP for upload

Included will be any dependencies and how to install/build

Thanks

Thanks, I gave it a good try out.  Was able to load a tape in a Microbee IC, able to boot 2mhz kit bee with Basic 5.00, PC85's version all run. Didnt try Quickload or TAP file loading. All disks were able to boot , including 56k, ciab, 128k(prem& std), cpm3, zcpr3, pjb, dreamdisk and 256tc boots and works.  All games ran that I tried.  It was even able to boot up a CF image -

good to hear

I'm going to document a few things,  build some binaries and then submit to MSPP for upload

Presumably the files can also be hosted here

Thanks
Tony
