vbcc guru

[srg86]

Hi

I'm trying to run the latest version of vbcc on my A1200 with Blizzard A1230-IV with 16MB RAM.

when I try to compile a simple hello world program it crashes with guru:

 81000005     Corrupted memory list

Is there anything I've done wrong is setting it up, I just ran the two installers.

Increase the stack size. 100,000 is a good value, I think.

And check that you are really using the *latest* release. There have been several updates since the new version was published.

Not sure how to do that, I've tried stack=100000, stack 100000 and stack size 100000 in user-startup to no effect.

BTW While we're here, what is Amiga Development Enviroment (GeekGadgets) like. I've tried their website and it doesn't work. There is a verson on Aminet but it's only gcc 2.7, is that the latest?

thanks

Add the line

stack 100000

to S:Shell-Startup

You might want to try if it helps first, so enter the command manually into the shell window before you start vbcc.

Have a look at the GCC Installer at http://www.kefren.be/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

The current home of Geekgadgets is http://gg.portail-e.com/geekgadgets/ but it seems to be down today, either.

"GCC Compiler Package for AmigaOS 3.9"

Err I only have AmogaOS 3.0, does that matter?

You'll just have to check the documentation in the autodocs to see what version of the OS is supported by the different functions when you're programming.  I think that the autodocs and includes may be the only difference between older versions of GCC and newer.  You may want to download ClassAct to be on the safe side, however, since ReAct classes are based on ClassAct.

I'm certain it works on AmigaOS 3.0 too.
