TIGCC

TIGCC is a modified GNU C compiler, which is available with programs for compressing programs and many more tools for calculator programming. At present, all are equipped with the Motorola 68000 calculator models TI support (TI -89, TI -92, Voyage 200 ). In Windows download the compiler, an IDE and the TIGCC Tools Suite are included under Linux, there are packages for various distributions or the source code to be compiled. As an IDE under Linux, the new IDE for KDE ( KTIGCC ) by Kevin Kofler is utilized.

Survey

On 16 July 1999 the first version of TIGCC came out, still without IDE and library. Six months later, the program library has been developed and once set the linker to the side. Since then TIGCC has always evolving, even if the administrators of the project changed several times. A highlight was the release of the IDE for Linux, since this significantly simplified programming.

Compiler

The compiler is a modified GCC 4.1.

IDE

In the Windows package, the compiler collection a mature, although now partly outdated, IDE is included. Under Linux the situation until recently looked different. There was a since 2000 not more evolved version of Anjuta which was not compliant with newer Linux distributions. But in the Google Summer of Code an IDE for KDE was developed by Kevin Kofler. This is available in RPM packages for Fedora and as source code. The rpm packages are only compatible with Fedora.

Comparison TIGCC IDE and TI Flash Studio

The TI Flash Studio is an IDE with a built- Sierra compiler from Texas Instruments. There was no longer being maintained for several years, but it has some advantages over TIGCC. However, the establishment of Flash Studios requires a version of the Java Virtual Machine, which is only difficult to obtain. Here is a comparison between TIGCC and TI Flash Studio.
