Golden Gate by Kelvin Sherlock is a compatibility layer for ORCA and GNO/ME command line programs. With Golden Gate, you can run many text-based ORCA or GNO shell programs (including the ORCA/C, ORCA/M, and ORCA/Pascal compilers) as if they were native to your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine, enabling cross-platform development of Apple IIgs applications. Use your favorite text editor (or IDE such as Xcode) to build and compile faster than ever!
This product includes GNO/ME development headers and libraries, as well as a selection of useful GNO utilities for development and native interoperation (chtyp
, ls
, lseg
, nroff
, printenv
, mkobj
, getfileinfo
, prefix
); macOS and Windows installers; and PDF and man-page documentation. Users will be added to a GitLab repo to receive source code and updates. ORCA compilers are not included and are sold separately as part of Opus ][: The Software. If you own Opus ][: The Software from ByteWorks, Golden Gate can extract and install files from that volume into your development environment.
Golden Gate is designed to work on Windows 10 (32-bit binary) or later with NTFS; MacOS 10.10 (64-bit) or later on a case-insensitive HFS+/APFS volume; and any modern Linux with gcc 6 compiler (case-insensitive JFS file system recommended).
This product is neither developed nor endorsed by The Byte Works.
