How do I log the m68k compiler error

hello,


I have been having some trouble with my hack of sonic


I have been getting many errors after I added the spindash dust code but I can not read the error the AS compiler gives





No one can read 91 errors in 1.25 seconds so it would help a lot.


All help is appreciated

 

It appears that the file sonic1.p is missing. Since I don't use the AS disassembly and pretty much hate it as well, I'm not sure how to help else, but you said any help is appreciated. If I were you though, I would use the ASM68k version.

 

I agree on this. apparently whatever this sonic1.p file that is missing that selbi was talking about, I really don't know how I can help out on this since I never used that type of compiler before. the only thing that I can probably help on is that depending on what type of disassembly you have for sonic 1, I would suggest you use the ASM68K version just as selbi stated.

 

There are a number of ways you can see all the errors. Instead of running the build.bat script just by double clicking, run the command prompt and use the cd command to change to the folder and then type build.bat and hit enter. You can also right click on build.bat and somewhere in the properties you can tell it not to close on exit.

 

Here is my current build.bat

Code:

@echo off

 REM include.exe sonic1.asm s1comb.asm

 

 REM ::: automatic recompression of data - disabled by default because it's slow

 REM ::: remove "REM" from the lines below to re-enable it

 REM derecmp.exe nc artnem_u artnem

 REM derecmp.exe kc artkos_u artkos

 REM derecmp.exe ec mapeni_u mapeni

 REM derecmp.exe ec map16_u map16

 REM derecmp.exe kc map256_u map256

 REM derecmp.exe ec sslay_u sslayout

 

 cls

 asw  -xx -c -A sonic1.asm

 p2bin sonic1.p s1built.bin -l 0 -r $-$

 rem rompad.exe s1built.bin 255 0

 fixheadr.exe s1built.bin

So how do you

 

Well if you're happy editing the bat file, just add another line at the bottom and put this there:

Code:

pause

It should then wait for you to press any key before closing.

 

pretty much what qjimbo just said. thats how I was able to find any errors that needed to be fixed. If thats the case it should do the same for you hopefully.

 

Thank you worked perfectly!

 

So well uh, what are the errors you have now?

 

There mostly just easy to fix out of range errors.


I had a duplicate subroutine.And there are no more errors now!

 

You can use the ASM68k disassembly or view the source code of the guide.


I'm sure of your sonic.p file es missing because too many errors

 

Another way to do it could also be like this:



@echo off
REM include.exe sonic1.asm s1comb.asm


REM ::: automatic recompression of data - disabled by default because it's slow


REM ::: remove "REM" from the lines below to re-enable it


REM derecmp.exe nc artnem_u artnem


REM derecmp.exe kc artkos_u artkos


REM derecmp.exe ec mapeni_u mapeni


REM derecmp.exe ec map16_u map16


REM derecmp.exe kc map256_u map256


REM derecmp.exe ec sslay_u sslayout


cls


asw -xx -c -A sonic1.asm


p2bin sonic1.p s1built.bin>log.txt -l 0 -r $-$ >


rem rompad.exe s1built.bin 255 0


fixheadr.exe s1built.bin



By adding >log.txt directly after s1built.bin, the assembler should spit out a text file that contains any errors. This file will always be generated, but will automatically be overwritten every time you build the ROM.


I also don't mean to bandwagon, but I also suggest ASM68K. It's a lot easier to use in my opinion.
