Thank you very much, Jeff.
35 years after, this is not simple !

I used Orca/M at this times. Now, I'm fan off the cross development. I buyer "Golden Gate" and Opus ][.
I'm using gsplus.exe, on my PC windows 10 (Orca/C, Orca/M, Orca/rez).

This is there my little ;) problem. How to build a simple text .rez file ?

I didn't found how to use Rez resource editor (under GoldenGate or Orca shell in simulator).

Could you help me, please ?

Best regard

The easiest way to get a sample Rez file is to use "DeRez" on something. Also, the Opus ][ CD-ROM has many examples (files ending in ".rez"). They're just text files (vaguely similar to JSON).

To understand the contents, see Appendix E ("Resource Types") and chapter 45 ("Resource Manager") in _Apple IIgs Toolbox Reference, Volume 3_.

IIRC, once upon a time I used Genesys to create the files, and would tweak them by hand if something wasn't supported by the editor.

Renaud,

As Fadden says, if you have Genesys on your system, ask it to disassemble a resource fork, and you will see how a res text file is constructed.

My BrkDown app can also dissemble resource forks into res text files in the same way:

https://speccie.uk/software/brkdown/

You then use any text editor you like on your host machine to edit the text files, and transfer them over to the GS for assembly. If your host machine can be set as an FTP server, then in addition to other methods of doing it, you can use my SAFE2 FTP app to bring the files into the IIgs.

I use BBEdit on the Mac to write my source res files, then transfer them over with SAFE2 for ORCA/M to do its thing:

Hello and Thank Fadden, Speccie,

My problem was by the bad sub file type of my main.rez file LOL !

well my commands:
iix compile main.rez keep=main.rfork

Finish without error but main.rfork have size of 0 byte ...

note:
Genesys crash with system 6.04 but perfect in 6.01

LOL !

in fact, the generated file is a resource file, I could generate it on orca on GSPlus simulator.

my software is not in desktop mode...
I declare in my main.rez file 2 resources rVersion and rToolStartup.

resource rToolStartup (1)
{ $C000, /* set master SCB to mode320 + fFastPortAware + fUseShadowing */
{
4, $0307, /* Quick Draw II */
6, $0301, /* Event Manager */
8, $0303, /* Sound Manager */
11, $0300, /* Integer Math Toolset */
30, $0100, /* Resource Manager */
100, $0000 /* myTool Toolset */
}
};

but new problem is in my C code source :

long gStartStopAddr;
Word gStartStopRez = refIsResource;
long gStartStopID = TOOL_STARTUP;

TLStartUp(); /* Tool Locator */
pContext->iMasterID = MMStartUp(); /* Memory Manager */
MTStartUp(); /* Miscellaneous Tool */

(long )gStartStopAddr = StartUpTools( (Word)pContext->iMasterID, gStartStopRez, (long )gStartStopID);

at compilation times, I got an error, I didn't understood why ???????

Compiling MyStartTools
635 (long )gStartStopAddr = StartUpTools( (Word)pContext->iMasterID, gStartStopRez,
(long )gStartStopID);
^ l-value required
Compiling MyStopTools
Compiling main

Any idea, svp ?

I've never programmed the GS using C, but try casting the right-hand
expression to the declared type of 'gStartStopAddr', e.g.

gStartStopAddr = (long) StartUpTools( (Word)pContext->iMasterID,gStartStopRez,
(long)gStartStopID);

I'm not sure that casting the destination is valid syntax.

Renaud,

Make sure you are using the latest version of Genesys. It was updated last year by Antoine Vignau:

Hello and Thank very much Steven, Speccie, all

It working now :)

ok, I will get this new release of Genesys.

Do you know, if coding rules exist ?
ie:
is it a good idea tu use malloc / calloc or is it better to use handle every where ?
Have Fun !!!

Renaud,

> is it a good idea tu use malloc / calloc or is it better to use handle every where ?

I don’t know, as I do not code in C myself. I use the more efficient ORCA/M 65816 assembly language.

Resource files are written in their own res language, so are the same in all the languages.

General rule: malloc allocates from a heap that is managed by the application. Requesting a handle from the operating system requires making an OS call, which tend to be more expensive. If you just want a few hundred bytes for storage, use malloc; if you need an entire 64KB bank, call the OS.

I don't know what the malloc library actually looks like, so this may be terrible advice. :-)

Hi,

My soft advance very well :)

But now I got an error in the GSplus Emulator with 8Mo of RAM and GS/OS 6.04 without RAM disk :

"
Finder requires System 6.0.1 or later at least 300K of free memory. ($0401)

You can increase free memory by decreasing your Control
Panel's RAM Disk size, and also by restarting the
Shift key held down to bypass loading inits and desk
accessories.
"

Do you know this error ? Any idea to fix it, please ?

Hi, I have found the solution, bad code source ;)

Hello Masters,

My little program is in C with OrcaC and OrcaM.
But I use csubroutine() and creturn() macros
Init of Tools, and usage are perfect in C (GetNextEvent() works perfect)
In my 1st sub routine I call csubroutine() to pass parameters, its fine.

My problem is usage of _GetNextEvent(), the field EventWhat is always equal to 0

GlobalData DATA
; ...
EventRecord anop
EventWhat ds 2
EventMessage ds 4
EventWhen ds 4
EventWhere ds 4
EventModifiers ds 2
; ...
END

CARTE START ; main entry point
using GlobalData
csubroutine (5:aTable),4
; ...

Again PushWord #0
PushWord #$FFFE
PushLong #EventRecord
_GetNextEvent
pla
beq Again ; no event

SuiteAgain lda EventWhat
cmp #3 ; keyDownEvt = 3
bne Follow_A
brl Keys

Follow_A anop
; ...

Keys anop
; ...

creturn 2:FlagPoint ; return the position...
END

Any idea, please ?

Miracle, I have found !!!

:) :) :)

CARTE START ; main entry point
csubroutine (5:aTable),4 ; masterID, pointer from ZPHandle, pointer from Horsehandle, pointer of MapHandle

phb
phk
plb
using GlobalData

; ........................................

plb
creturn 2:FlagPoint ; return the position...

END

TODAY was a VERY BIG FUN DAY !!!!

Hello all,

Well now all my function work properly but I don't use "creturn" properly...
plb, restore the origin banc not the good one to access to FlagPoint
> plb
> creturn 2:FlagPoint ; return the position...
>
> END

Perhaps, I have to add a pointer parameter to my aTable parameter of csubroutine...

any idea, please ?

Hello All,

An another dummy error, the stack LOL !!!

I have solved my problem :)

Best Regards,
Renaud
