GCC 3.x for 68k

[Crumb]

Hi!

Anyone knows if GCC3.x is available for 68k? If the answer is yes, where can I download it?

BTW, there's any cross compiler that works on windows to create Amiga 68k binaries?

[pjhutch]

All the d/l versions I've seen are GCC 2.9x, you can get the sources for GCC and try compiling it yourself.
 
Try http://www.aros.org/ for Amiga on x86 systems (its still alpha though).

About AROS... I'd like a crosscompiler to AmigaOS 68k, not to AROS x86...

Hello Crumb,

I don't understand the issues of GCC beyond 2.9.x on Amiga very well.  It
may be the dreaded process fork()ing problem.  I can't remember.

Dietmar Eilert's GoldED comes with installation archives and scripts
for 2.95.3 and 3.3 among other development suites.  2.95.3 is in the
"stable" directory, 3.3 is in "latest" for what it's worth.


http://gg.portail-e.com/geekgadgets/amiga/m68k/alpha/gcc/
on the new Geek Gadgets site has versions 3.3.3 and 3.4 I think.  I
don't know about their stability.

I have no clue about a Windows cross-compiler.  Sorry to not be more
help---all I do most days is wipe up baby sh*t.  It's in my brain now.

Thanks for the link!  It seems to only have 68000 and '020 versions only.  If you have any luck with them let me know if it's possible to generate 68040+ binaries with whatever cross-compiler you might find.  In the meantime I'll try to get this to work under WinUAE!  :-D

Does anybody know who made the 3.4 port and where it stands in terms of reliability? Wouldn't mind to support it with GoldED if its good (but I'm not using gcc myself).

Is there any fast PPC binary (any version, 2.x/3.x)?

@Walter:
Thanks for the link!

@SamuraiCrow:
You can create 68040 binaries adding a flag (regardless of the compiler binary) like -mc68040

BTW, in addition to gcc 3.x what files would be necessary too? I guess that an updated "make" but there are also some files called "binutils" etc... and I don't know if these files need to be updated.

My plan is to install gcc 3.4 over the geek gadgets environment done by LouiSe

Thank you, but I have only found a crosscompiler hosted in AmigaOS 680x0 that generates programs for AROS x86.

I would prefer a Windows hosted one (maybe using CygWin) that created AmigaOS binaries...

Some time ago, i use "GCC-M68k Binaries for Win95/NT" for
write some code to 68k cpus (not for amigaos). from readme:
----
This zip file contains a version of GNU C/C++ which compiles for the Motorola 68k series of processors. The compiler is based on a copy of the Experimental GNU Compiler System(EGCS) V1.1.2 source code which is particularly suited to the building Win32 hosted ColdFire cross-compilers.
----

in this pakage m68k-coff GNU assembler is it too. (i use this asm, and this work).

So, you can try create data file witch 68k instructions (without any file headers) and later write progs for adding
AmigaOs executable headers. But, in this case too - you can't use amiga libs, etc. but .. you can try create himself
and tool what can append amiga libs

Per usual, I'm late getting back...

I did some reading in the "bin" archive, but could not figger out
who did it.  Maybe the source diffs have some comments (?).  The last
messages I could find in the email archive were to do with 3.3.

Wish I had time to really get into this stuff.  Baby wants me to go
outside now and rake leaves (and she's a hard boss).  Helluvan
excuse, I know.

Hello!

Just thought I'd mention this URL:

http://developer.acggbg.org/amigadev/Cross-compiling

Also this URL:

http://gg.portail-e.com/geekgadgets/amiga/m68k/alpha/gcc/gcc-3.4.0-diffs.tar.gz

I've made both linux and cygwin cross-compilers for 68k so it should work. I don't know if that 3.4.0 supports everything that gcc normally supports though, I've only compiled it for c and c++.

Regards,

Jocke 'Zerohero' Birging

Thanks! I don't know if I'll be capable of recompiling Cygwin anyway :-/
