It is obvious that a68k assembler will not compile under any other
assembler. That's why it is A68K ASSEMBLER. And actually, we aren't
using "normal" a68k. David updated a68k to provide Fargo support...
I'm guessing the extra symbols (i.e. :: and @). Since David did the
relocation stuff in Fargo, the object code needs to have this info
properly done. The @ automatically handles it. If you want to use
another assembler, you first need to figure out the formatting of
that assembler. I figure most assemblers follow a common basic
structure. But I could be wrong...
Without a port of David's updated port of the AmigaDOS A68k Assembler,
you will have a very HARD time compiling ANY FargoII source. (It's
funny that you need a port of a program ported from the same platform
you are wanted the port to.) :)
