Install two versions at once?

#1 Post by oliverb » 23 Sep 2019 19:34

Is there a reliable way to have two compiler versions installed simultaneously?

I'm tempted to just try giving the installer a different folder name to install to, but I'm worried about getting conflicts.

Hi,

Practically, you can use two versions of the compiler on one PC.
However, It's not recommended, because it may cause some conflicts with search paths.

Kind regards,
Jovana

Thankfully it isn't something I'd want to do often, right now it is just to get some demo code to run. I've downgraded to 7.0 temporarily.

For anyone interested the way that VGLCD implements screen definitions seems to have changed somewhere between 7.0 and 7.5 and some old demos appear to enter an infinite loop at "drawscreen". I believe the change relates to moving the screen layouts into ROM not RAM, or how pointers are declared?

Since newer unaffected versions of the demos are available I'm using those instead.
