The machine definition for the x16 hasn't been merged into the main cc65 repo yet. You can clone https://github.com/greg-king5/cc65/tree/commander-x16 and use it as is for now.

The cx16 target has gone "mainstream"! But, cc65's version number now is 2.18.

You might be able to get a current package for Ubuntu by reading this wiki page.

Thank ypu. I plan to update the README adding the correct, tested rules to install the right toolchain. Then I will propose to close the issue.

I have version 2.18 installed on macOS with homebrew, and I'm still receiving this error.

2.18 has been released on May, 30
cx16 extension seems near September
cc65/cc65@18afc7c#diff-b3e4e70de9d1469ed9b1f22ed5c9f3d9

cx16.h is from September, 27;
https://github.com/cc65/cc65/commits/9fa90e2265b0d54e3fd9e6ec0227821f6a09d9de/include/cx16.h

So I think we should use the master branch or a snapshot binary until a new release of cc65 is blessed.

Hi daitangio. I mistook greg-king5's comment to mean that version 2.18 supported the Commander X16. Thanks for clearing that up.

This issue can probably be closed. cc65 V2.19 includes the cx16 target, so the issue should be resolved now.

Though that release may be using the old prototype's memory map...

Just FYI for anyone getting here from a Raspberry Pi:
It looks like the available version of cc65 in apt for Raspbian is still on 2.17, as of 2021 Nov. We want at least version 2.19+ to resolve this error.

$ cc65 -V
cc65 V2.17 - Raspbian 2.17-1
$ sudo apt upgrade cc65

cc65 is already the newest version (2.17-1).

I believe downloading and directly installing this package may resolve this problem for Raspbian users.
https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/cc65/download UPDATE: This way led me to dependency issues.

UPDATE: I solved my issue on Raspbian by installing cc65 from source per these instructions:
https://cc65.github.io/getting-started.html

git clone https://github.com/cc65/cc65.git
cd cc65
make
sudo make avail

This brought me up to 2.19 and cleared this error message on Raspbian.

cc65 -V
cc65 V2.19 - Git 37e7e65f4
