Hi,

Since my C programming skill are less than desirable, I am looking for alternative cross compilers to compile for ARM-ELF. Specifically, I am looking for a PASCAL compiler.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanx

Why don’t you start with some scripting. I also can't write C, but that don’t mean that you cant compile software?
And finding pascal for the croscompiler is like using ms-basic for the C= Amiga, so forget that
There are more scripting languages so i would first start on that

And you can always use machine code if you don’t like C

I know there are more scripting languages. Especially for websites, it would be nice to use PHP or Perl but I have this strange feeling that a PHP or Perl distribution for the KiSS is a bit out of reach.

I could also try basic shell scripting and I can do anything I want with them but if I can compile pascal sources for the ARM-ELF (And I know there is at least 1 compiler around that can, I only wished I could find it) that would be great since my Pascal skills are very good.

But still, I will start of with basic shell scripts and see what I can come up with.

I have a similar problem, because I have zero C-knowledge. Could someone help us with some starting-guides? I need some very basic things like:

a) where do I find the needed include-libraries (I use cygwin)?

If I have a basic sample that starts like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>

Do I have to stop, because I get 2 errors:

dos.h: No such file or directory
conio.h: No such file or directory

And even if I can locate this includes, where do I have to put it? Or do I have to write the path to this *.h-files?


b) what is impossible to do?

I assume I can't make things like buttons, textboxes and so on?


It would be very helpfull if someone could tell me the needed "first steps"
