GBE cross-compile for ST?

[marcelschoen]

GBE requires a multitasking OS like Mint, so I installed the EasyAranym image which comes with many apps and tools pre-installed, including GBE. My intention was to use it to code a GFA BASIC game in a more capable environment (larger editor window etc.), then "Make" the game, and then run it in a Hatari emulator (which has the same directory mounted as drive C:).

My problem - any GFA program I compile with GBE under aranym will crash the ST. Does anyone have hints on how to properly do this? What / where to configure to make this work? Does it depend on what CPU the aranym emulator has configured?

That's exactly how I do it. Do you have a small example listing I can test on my setup?

Certainly not. Unlike Hatari, Aranym only emulates a Falcon with a 040 CPU.

Thomas uses this method to write some of his games, it works for him.

The GBE installation in EasyAranym is old. It needs to be updated.

Well, thanks for the feedback. I'll check it out this evening! And if I can't get it to work, I'll post some example code, my setup etc.

This is weird. It works now, all of a sudden... god knows what I did wrong before. Right now, I can compile my sprite testing program in GBE and it runs just fine in Hatari. Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback and the pointers.
