I know there was some thread about it way back, but I don't know how much information could be salved from it.
Just looking to see if there's a nice C/C++ compiler for Z80. There should be, right?
So does anyone know anything? It's unfuriating to type BASIC on the calc itself, not to mention that it actually crawls.
Any tips would be appreciated.

I almost expected C++ wouldn't work, but will do fine in this case, then. I'll check it out and see if I can find a compiler. Thanks.
(Although, I can't seem to find any download for the Z80 IDE/compiler on the site...)

7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
I found that, too, but there doesn't seem to be any download link.
I'd contact them and ask if you can have a demo license for that.

Yep, seems to be the only way.
There's an open source compiler for the Zilog Z80. It's called Small Device C Compiler. I haven't done anything with it, but it seemed like a good compiler.
It's retargetable
provides full set of data types
allows for inline assembly
don't no what your into, but IAR compilers are usually expensive! Or the evals are limited
Small Device C Compiler Link:

Awesome! Debugger, as well. Good tip! Excellent! Thanks!
I was the author of the old thread on this subject, never really did get it working. Although i was using the same compiler as jake123 suggested. Elysia, please let me know if you get it working

I don't know how to set up Code::Blocks to compile properly with it. It seems to complain in the linker.
Compiling: main.c
sdcc: Calling preprocessor...
sdcc: Generating code...
sdcc: Calling assembler...
Linking console executable: bin\Debug\Test.exe
obj\Debug\main.o: cannot open.
sdcc: Calling linker...
sdcc: Calling linker...
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings
Perhaps building on the command line will show you what's going on [yes, that's very old-fashioned, but sometimes the old-and-tried methods work better].

I agree. Only, I don't know how to figure out how to see how Code::Blocks calls the compiler or linker.
And manually calling the compiler is out of the question. That's something I don't want to do.
But surely to figure out what you NEED to tell code::blocks to do, you will need to know how to call the compiler itself.
By the way, you can always use (gnu,n,d)make to compile the code.
