languageONE extension for CorePlus64

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

Hello..I'm kinda new here, so I hope I am doing this correctly..
I believe the way to communicate at TinyCore is thru the forums ??

I am in Melbourne,Australia and have been developing a programming language that I believe would sit nicely in TinyCore. I call it languageONE and you are able to check it out at www.languageONE.com.au. It is infact, purely assembler but is presented in a series of macros that give the writer the experience of a high level language. It is based on the idea that Compilers were never really necessary and that languages could have evolved without them. It comes with statically linked libraries, communicates with the kernel directly and therefore does not rely on clib or any other libraries. It is built to be efficient and this is where I think it would make a great extension for TinyCore.

I have been working on getting TinyCorePure64 working and have only skimmed the instructions on building extensions but will start looking at that now.
Is this the sort of thing TinyCore would be interested in and if so would you be able to help me thru the process.

The system itself only has one dependency, that is nasm (or yasm) and I see there are already extensions for either of them. Being assembler the system really is just a series of text files, with the exception of the libraries (which can be built into the extension or simply assembled after installation) and a small translator program, written in languageONE and easily assembled and linked.

I certainly would be happy for it to be available in TinyCore and would look forward to any help you could offer.
I will look forward to a reply.
Thx
Roger Tunnicliffe.

we're always happy to receive new extensions, please go ahead - I'm sure the forum users will help if required

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

  Great, I'll begin work on it
Thx

I have created a tcz and installed on my system.
my TinyCorePure64 is installed on my harddisk.
The installed layout is...

languageONE/assemble.sh
languageONE/link.sh
languageONE/makeONE.sh
languageONE/GUImakeONE.sh

languageONE/bin/GUI-makeONE
languageONE/bin/languageONE

languageONE/html/logo.jpg
languageONE/html/V1-16-screen0.html
.
.
languageONE/lib/COMMON.o
languageONE/lib/COMMON.LIB
languageONE/lib/STDIO.o
languageONE/lib/STDIO.LIB
.
.
languageONE/src/V0.04.ONE
languageONE/src/0.GUI-TEMPLATE.ONE
languageONE/src/V0.01.ONE
.
.
languageONE/include/BEGIN.PROGRAM
languageONE/include/BEGIN.INSTRUCTIONS
.
.
languageONE/doc/README.MD
languageONE/doc/languageONE.odt
languageONE/doc/LICENSE
languageONE/doc/VERSION.HISTORY

and it was my intention to have this install under my home directory. so.../home/tc/languageONE
whereas it installs in /lib /doc /src etc

Am I able to install it under a home directory or do I need to restructure the way it is setup

Thx

If you're making a private extension you can do whatever you like 

If you're planning on submitting the exension, then the files need to be under:

/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/share/doc

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

so where does that leave me with the include files, the html, the shell scripts etc..
 

[Juanito]

You can see the extension file lists using the apps gui or from a browser 

/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/share/doc/html

I have put the package together and done a local load on my system..

however when I try and run anything it responds with file not found.
eg. I can "cat" makeONE.sh and its fine but it cannot be found when trying to run it

Hi roger@languageONE.com.au
I'm guessing that's a directory listing of  /usr/local/languageONE/, and it's not listed in the path environmental variable, which
is why you are getting the not found message. Lose the  languageONE  part of the path and place the  .sh  files under
/usr/local/bin.

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

Sorry Rich, that's not it. Same problem.
and was giving full path names when I was trying to run the script
In addition when I try and edit the file it also says file does not exist.
Yet its still happy to cat it out to the screen

Hi roger@languageONE.com.au

and was giving full path names when I was trying to run the script

Did you try:

Code: [Select]

./usr/local/languageONE/GUImakeONE.sh

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

Yeah, no difference.
The odd thing is though is that if I assemble a languageONE program on my Mint partition and copy it across to the TinyCore partition it runs fine.
I have languageONE installing on /usr/local/languageONE and I have it copied across to the hard disk at /home/tc/languageONE
Either locations and it cannot be found 

[Rich]

Hi roger@languageONE.com.au
You didn't post the actual error message, but I'm guessing  "file not found"  was not referring to your script but possibly
the scripting language it was written in, bash maybe?

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

Yeah, I initially thought that but then why cant it find it when I try and edit it 

[roger@languageONE.com.au]

and I am not sure if this is involved but it is definitely very odd..
When I have a look at my harddisk partition I get...
mount
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
but when I try and save a file using editor, i get
error writing to file /mnt/sda1/Users/roger/languageone/assemble.sh
Read-only file system

maybe some boot-codes I am getting wrong ?
