Hi there!
I want to do a little programming in Amiga E. But I don't know what I need to download to get started. I started a bit a long time ago when I had my A1200, but I can't remember anymore. Now I have WinUAE to play around with. Would someone, kindly, point me in the right direction?

http://aminet.net/package/dev/e/ec33a (http://aminet.net/package/dev/e/ec33a) for the original, or you can get PortablE (http://cshandley.co.uk/portable/) instead. The latter is actively maintained and can works on Windows, AmigaOS3, OS4, AROS and MorphOS.

Another alternative is ECX (http://blubbedev.net/ecx/) which is a continuation of original AmigaE following it's principles more closely. By that I mean typeless OO language with very fast compile times. PortablE is more like a typed version of AmigaE with longer compile times as it has to go through C++ as an intermediate language. Therefor the latter is also more portable.
greets,
Staf.

Yes... I tried PortablE, but apparently in needs g++. All I get when I compile is a .cpp file. As I recall E was ready to go from the start. I'll check ECX, thanks.:)
