How we do it
PicTools Manual 3.0
In general, we spawn the third-party compiler or assembler in a separate console window
and capture its output. We wait for it to complete and then
analyze the resultant files to determine if it was successful. If errors are found, we display
them and show you the source line that caused the error.
If the TOOl was successful, we read the resulting symbol table, line references and HEX
data into an internal database for debugging.
While we are building the project, you will see a console ICON on the task bar. If the
project build seems to stall, click on this ICON and you will see the state of the project
build. In a few cases, some tools will pause and ask you to hit a key before it continues.
This causes TDE to appear to 'lock-up'. In reality, TDE is just waiting on the project build
process to complete. The process is waiting on you to press a key but its window is
minimized so you never see the message. Unfortunately, not all compilers and
assemblers can be forced to ALWAYS log errors rather than pause for input from you.
The good news is that
this situation is very rare. It usually only happens if the compiler has a critical error.
The following sections describe each compiler we currently support. If you are using a
TOOL that we do not list here, let us know. TOOLs that generate standard symbol
formats are easy to integrate.
NOTE:
We include CVASM16 with TDE.
We also include SUPPORT for all of these other compilers and assemblers. HOWEVER,
WE DO NOT SUPPLY THESE THIRD PARTY TOOLS WITH TDE. YOU MUST OWN
THESE OTHER TOOLS IN ORDER TO USE THEM.
This may seem obvious but we have had MANY tech-support calls asking why a particular
compiler is not working. Eventually we find that the customer thought that we were
somehow providing the functionality of all of these commercial compilers with our own
software.
This information is included to give you some insight as to HOW we integrate with each of
these compilers, any assumptions we make and any common installation mistakes we are
aware of.
Most TOOLS strongly recommend that you include their directory in your path. If you forgot
to (or chose not to) set your system PATH to include the compiler directory, you may
optionally choose to specify the
path in the TOOL PATH option box in the project NODE setup. This MAY not work with
some TOOLS.
