The cc65 cross-compiler suite

cc65 is a complete cross-development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, archiver, simulator and several other tools. cc65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines. For details look at the cc65 web site:

People

cc65 is originally based on the "Small C" compiler by Ron Cain and enhanced by James E. Hendrix.

Project founders

  • John R. Dunning: original implementation of the C compiler and runtime library, Atari hosted.
  • Ullrich von Bassewitz:
    • moved Dunning's code to modern systems,
    • rewrote most parts of the compiler,
    • rewrote all of the runtime library.
