Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 225120
Request to add TIGCC tools to Fedora.
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:54 EST
Description of problem: A really nice suite of Ti Calculator tools should be added to Fedora. (IMHO) I know this isn't directly a gcc related issue, but I couldn't figure out where else to put it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tigcc tiemu tilp All latest versions from their respective websites. Additional info: Texas Instruments makes a calculator called the TI 89 that uses a 68000 for the processor. A TI89 has the same processor and more memory than the original Mac 128 ! A group of people have developed a gcc compiler (special version of the gcc 68000 version) , an IDE, a "linking program" and an emulator for the calculator. This group of tools allows users to write asm or C code on a PC and ultimately run it on the calculator. I think this is an outstanding achievement and the tools are worthwhile to consider including in the next Fedora extras. The tools are not 100% perfect. They could use a bit of polish here and there, but they are certainly functional. The respective starting websites are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIGCC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiEmu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiLP The team advocates using KTIGCC for the IDE, which is linked to from the TIGCC page. Thanks.
You should either add it to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/WishList or better yet contribute those packages http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors or find somebody to do it. This is really a wrong place to submit such a request.
Thanks
I am planning to submit these, but my current packages need some cleanups. See http://repo.calcforge.org/ for now. In any case, the Fedora GCC maintainer is the wrong person to bug with this. ;-)
