Well here I am again visiting this topic. However, this time its good news. I have built a new library for Coldfire. All one has to do is recompile a GFA program to get it running on the Firebee. I tested it with one of my own rather large projects with success. There are some catches.
1) Its a direct port of my current library, not an old library.
2) It requires my current compiler. The GFA compiler is now working at the Firebee. I fixed that too.
3) It relies on the CFLib provided by FireTOS, so GFA is not running full speed on the Firebee, but its better than nothing.
4) GFA on the Firebee will be a compile only language as I have no plans to fix the interpreter (runonly). It has way to many problems and would take forever.
I have also fixed my GFA editor (aka GBE), still untested, but I'm fairly sure it will now work at the Firebee.
I am not abandoning the 68K machines. The plan is to always provide 2 versions of the library. If you are a GFA author and want to provide binaries for everyone, then you would need to build 2 versions of your app for distribution.
