PuCrunch not working as intended

[El-Virus]

I've compiled all the tools required to make the build and when make runs: pucrunch -f -c64 -x0x5000 build/bsw/kernal_combined.prg build/bsw/kernal_compressed.prg 2> /dev/null it fails with the output: make: *** [Makefile:330: build/bsw/kernal_compressed.prg] Error 1 running the command: pucrunch -f -c64 -x0x5000 build/bsw/kernal_combined.prg build/bsw/kernal_compressed.prg 2 gives the following error: Only two filenames wanted! and running the command: pucrunch -f -c64 -x0x5000 build/bsw/kernal_combined.prg build/bsw/kernal_compressed.prg gives the following error: Only programs from 0x0258 to 0xffff can be compressed (the input file is from 0x785c to 0x1285b)

Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

0x1285b-0x785c=45055 so the length is ok, but the offset is strange. Please compare

@polluks Using the same command as you the output is the following: Only programs from 0x0258 to 0xffff can be compressed (the input file is from 0x785c to 0x1285b)

@El-Virus The message from pucrunch about loadaddress 0x785c shows first two bytes of assembled file instead of loadadress 0x5000.

Check what is your shell. I had /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash (Ubuntu 18.04) and the part in Makefile that saves loadaddress failed for me. Please see this comment https://github.com/mist64/geos/issues/11#issuecomment-845534377

Thanks Maciej! I've committed the pull request #13 applying the suggested fixes.
