Hi Chris,
the problem is not the tool size. On any UNIX system, standard
libraries, a shell and a perl distribution - which you only need for
nicer disassembly, anyway - are givens. The problem is that Windows
chooses to provide 24-bit color animated icons instead of tools.
I'm not willing to invest significant amounts of time in providing H8
tool distributions for Windows. (I rarely use it now that the new
Voodoo2 drivers provide 37+ fps under Linux ;-) However, fine people
like Gavin are putting in the effort.
On Linux, the compiled tool suite fits in a 1.5 MB archive. Here are the
executable sizes on my system:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 126460 Dec 30 14:48
h8300-hitachi-hms-sysdump*
Note you could get by without most of these. addr2line, objdump, nm,
size, srconv, strings, sysdump and strings could be easily sacrificed.
Happy new year,
Markus.

| Why is the software associated with development so big? 70 megabytes for the legOs development system? I think there is something fundamental I'm missing here. The RCX is an H8, an 8 bit micro, certainly no more complicated than a 68HC11. Even the (...) (26 years ago, 30-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
