The CE C Software Development Kit incorporates a wide variety of tools and documentation in order to build programs in C natively for the TI-84+CE/TI-83PCE line of calculators.

It is recommended that you grab the latest release from here if you are looking to get started. Feel free to also bookmark the wiki pages, as they will become a helpful guide.

Included you will find examples using the 'Standard' CE C Libraries. These perform efficient and easy support for graphics, file I/O, keypad input, etc. Be sure to grab them if you plan to use them.

You can join us on the IRC/EFNet server #ez80-dev if you have any questions. (ask for help)

These steps are only if you wish to help with development of the toolchain.

On linux and macOS, wine is required for building.

Clone the repo: (Note the --recursive option)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CE-Programming/toolchain.git

Then use:

cd toolchain
make
make install

By default, make install will install into the home (~/CEdev) directory.

This is configurable with make install PREFIX={DIFFERENT_LOCATION}

If you wish to view a list of available makefile rules, type: make help

To build a release, use: make dist

If you are using Windows, mingw is required for building. You will just need mingw32-base and mingw32-gcc-g++

Clone the repo: (Note the --recursive option)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CE-Programming/toolchain.git

Then use:

cd toolchain
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

By default, mingw32-make install will install into the root drive (C:\CEdev) directory.

This is configurable with mingw32-make install PREFIX={DIFFERENT_LOCATION}

If you wish to view a list of available makefile rules, type: mingw32-make help

To build a release, use: mingw32-make dist

For releases, nsis is required for windows. Because of limitations of the current software; the special Large strings build is needed. You can find it here. Note also that you must configure your path variable to point to the nsis installation directory.
