<p>A while back I was looking to do the same thing (assemble macro11
files into .bin images loadable into, for example, simh) but never
found a solution like the sources for a linker outside of a DEC
O/S.</p>
<p>So I built this: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/AK6DN/obj2bin">https://github.com/AK6DN/obj2bin</a></p>
<p>And use it like this in my Makefile (under cygwin on windows):</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b><tt># makefile for pdp11 bin code</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>.PRECIOUS: %.obj</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>MACOPT ?= -d md -d me -e bex -yus -rt11</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>OBJOPT ?= --debug --verbose</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>%.obj : %.mac</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt> macro11 $< $(MACOPT) -l $*.lst -o $@</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>%.bin : %.obj</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt> obj2bin.pl $(OBJOPT) --binary --log
$(@:.bin=.log) --out $@ $+</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt># all the files to be made</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>BIN=memx.bin echo1.bin echo2.bin dl11.bin</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>all : $(BIN)</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Besides linking multiple .obj into a single .bin, it can also
generate M9312 compatible boot and console PROM hex image files.</p>
