Monkey-originated bcc parser for BlitzMax Generates BlitzMax (mostly) compatible C-source which has the added advantage of being more portable than the original bcc-generated processor-specific assembler.

bcc is self-compiling and can be built using an existing version of BlitzMax:

First download an existing build of BlitzMax from https://blitzmax.org/downloads/

If you are on Linux please ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed: https://blitzmax.org/docs/en/setup/linux/

Clone/Download this repository and install dependencies:

git submodule update --init

Using BlitzMax, compile build.bmx as a console application:

bmk makeapp -r -t console build.bmx

Run build

When ran, build will prompt for your BlitzMax install path. You can alternatively pass this as a commandline parameter as so:

build --bmx /path/to/bmx

To skip running tests and only build bcc, include the parameter --build-only

build --bmx /path/to/bmx --build-only

To contribute a fix or feature, first add a test to tests/ that fails (if a fix, the test should fail, highlighting the bug; If a feature the test should demonstrate how the new feature will work, but will obviously currently fail). Then make your additions, and build using build, ensuring all tests pass successfully.

Commit your change and issue a pull request.
