calc-2.12.4.13

[alkis]

I've cross-compiled calc and here it is:
Binary (it should probably run on anything >=2.0, lightly tested on emulated A1200)
You'll need ixemul.library. Also, type 'stack 50000' prior to running it from shell, or you'll get crashes.

Source code

I use this to make it.

make CC=m68k-amigaos-gcc AR=m68k-amigaos-ar BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only RANLIB=m68k-amigaos-ranlib -f Makefile.alkis

Sample run.

Any ideas where I can get version 48+ of ixemul.library?

Have you tried this one?

Cool! I guess experience makes a big difference.

I will definitely study this source carefully

I was very lucky with it. The source almost didn't need any modifications. (I just had to rename a variable cause it was conflicting with something in m68k-amigaos-as assembler). Hats off to the original coders for that!

All the 'effort' (if you can call it that) went into making the makefile work.

I was really surprised how fast you did it. I struggled a lot with the make generated header files before I gave up (Makefiles was never my thing. I never wrote one. I only use them - especially in FreeBSD and OpenBSD).

I also considered to use the library part of Calc (qmath and zmath) but it really seemed like a waste of effort

Back to planning mode

I've been thinking about integrating the mapm arbitrary precision library with lua. Both compile fine on my A1200 with SASC6.58, so maybe I can get it to work.

[Thorham]

Well, that proved to be much easier than I thought. Now I have a lua interpreter with integrated arbitrary precision floating point math I'll release it this weekend.

Cool
