I do have .NET framework installed on that machine. Apparently, it uses a newer version of the M$ C runtime libraries than 7.something. That sucks. I haven't used any .NET but my recent C++ programs still require it because of the runtime DLLs. I'm not sure if you can still get separate downloads of these DLLs. Jan Waclawek said:

I didn't see any mention of SDCC being included, but I will look into this further. If they do they also need to distribute the sources, which I didn't see either. I am not much into this GPL stuff, but isn't it enough to point to the sources? The installator is unnecessarily big at the moment already. This appears to be a "stock" v2.9.0, I don't believe they added anything to that on their own. As I said above, they even did not bother to recompile it with '51 only, all the other targets are included. Well no, it isn't. This would place the burden of distributing the sources on others and makes it more difficult for the user to find them. The sources should be as easily available as the binary distribution. Furthermore they even removed the GPL text! It's not shown during installation and it's not in the installed directory! Jan Waclawek said:

I also looked again at their header file distribution and they still don't have the SDCC headers right. The macros for Sfr and Sbit use Keil notation. That's a shame, indicating they never tried them; but I doubt they read 8052.com, so unless somebody pesters them it's unlikely they notice. I'm sure I told them once a long time ago. |
