README file

This file describes the use of the four M68000 files:

• M68001.exe — self-installs the GNU assembler, as;

• M68002.exe — self-installs the GNU linker/loader, ld;

• M68003.exe — self-installs the BDB emulator and the contents of the include and lib directories;

• M68004.zip — contains all of the .i files from the lab, plus the .bat files used in the lab.

First, choose a place where you wish to install the tools for working on CST8134 labs and assignments. When you run M68001.exe (from Windows, not from a DOS box), the installer will ask if you would like the directory created (you will probably want to override the default directory with your own choice).

Once M68001.exe has completed, run M68002.exe and M68003.exe in the same manner, providing your own directory name each time. The installer will recognize that the directory was already created, and ask if it's OK to use it. Say yes.

Now you can open M68004.zip with WinZip or some other suitable program. Manually extract the contents into suitable directories: all *.i files into the include directory (you can replace the three that are already there), and the .bat files into bin. Finally, modify the 68000.bat file to establish the path for your environment.

All your executable tools are located in the bin directory. You can create lab1, lab2, asg1, asg2, and so on as directories at the same level as include and lib if you wish, or use a deeper and more complex structure if you wish.
