Hi all,
this is the first message I post on msx.org forums. I grew up with a Toshiba HX-10 buyed in 1984. I programmed it mainly in basic but I have programmed some Z80 board too. Since 1990 I've written nothing more for msx. I love to code free software. You can find some project of mine here:

mynos.sf.net
gav.sf.net

I'd like to re-start programming z80 and msx and I'd like to use my linux machine as a cross-develop machine.
Can you give me some hints to start? I need a good cross-assembler, I found this one:

artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~brain/z80-asm/

is it a good tool?
Some other hint?

I use fMSX too.

Thank you very much in advance
Bye

A lot of people are quite happy with tniASM (http://tniasm.tni.nl/). Unfortunately for you, it runs on MS-DOS...

I have been using our (Aurora) own C cross-compiler (based on Adriano's work) "htc" to compile C programs for Z80 using Linux (and gcc). This compiler also has an assembler of course, maybe you can use it directly. htc can be downloaded from the UZIX web site: http://uzix.sf.net, check the Downloads section.

Thanks all!

If you need more information on coding the MSX, try the MILC (dutch...) or msxhans' msx info pages for information and source codes.

Or you can visit the #msxdev IRC channel for any programming questions. It's on the Rizon network and there's a webchat in the development section of MSX Banzai!.
