xas99 possibility to write binary file to target directory

[FilipVanVooren]

I'm using xas99 to assemble my source files with the '-b' option. The binary file seems to be written to the directory where the xas99 assembler is started?

Is there a possibility to specify the target directory (and target filename)? I'm currently using a shell script to move the binary to its destination

Perhaps a parameter like "--ouput-dir" or "--binary-output-file" (Kinda like the option '--listing-file')

Thanks for your suggestion, but this is already possible with -o. You can either supply a filename (which may have a path), or a directory, in which case the default filename is used.

For example: $ xas99.py -b src/asfile.asm -o gen/ This will create gen/asfile.bin. You can just use -o gen, of course.

If you want to change the output file from asfile.bin, you include the filename: $ xas99.py -b src/asfile.asm -o gen/game.bin This will create gen/game.bin.

There's still something to do, however, as this won't work with the list file yet, so I'm keeping the issue open.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. That's a great solution.

Ah, I forgot to update this issue -- with the latest version of xdt99, you can specify directories for any output file (-o, -L, -E, ...).
