Description:
This tool is a GEM shell for the VBCC compiler in a form of a Desktop Accessory.
It allows you to automatically compile your programs in one click using project files with a nice GEM interface. 
This is for TOS environment only, not tested on Mint or Multitask OS.


VBCC:
The VBCC compiler is available here: http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vbcc/


Installation:
The tool needs 2 additional files that must be in the GEMSYS\VBCCSHL directory of your root partition.

You will need to install the tool like this: (if C is your root partition)
C:\VBCCSHL.ACC
c:\GEMSYS\VBCCSHL\VBCCEXEC.TTP
c:\GEMSYS\VBCCSHL\VBCCSHL.RSC


Usage:
There is 3 ways of starting VBCC Shl from the Desktop Menu:

Click on the ACC while holding the "Alternate" key, and you can create a Project file.
Click on the ACC while holding the "Control" key, and you can select a Project file you want to use.
Click on the ACC and the compilation starts ! If VBCC returns an error, it will popup in a GEM window.

If you start clicking on the ACC for the first time, it will ask you to select a Project file first.


When you create a Project file you will have to input some parameters:
VC Path: Click on this button to select the VC.TTP program from you VBCC installation.
Config: Click on this button to select the config file from you VBCC installation.
OUTPUT: Click on this button to choose the program path and filename output of your project.
Sources: Click on this button as many times as you need to select all your program sources files.
Options: Enter here your compilation options. (such as -O2, -lgem or -cpu=68060)


Known Bugs:
This tool has some known bugs, you can't run it while a program is running in the background.
If you do so, It will most likely exit the program running in background.
Be sure to close any program before running the compilation.

You may use an ACC text editor such as STeno.
You will then be able to start the compilation without exiting the text editor.



v0.2: The project filename is now shown in the ACC desktop menu.
