Title: Uh Ohhh, TheGoose got SAS\C installed...
Post by: TheGoose on September 02, 2011, 01:45:49 AM
Ok, I'm going to resist a million stupid questions and RTFMs but I just want to know about updates. I got 6.5 installed via floppies and wondering if there are any updates I should know about.

I got 'hello world' example to build but other examples are all crashing when I try to run the executable.

Thanks for your knowledge...

I think this should read "oh Ohh" the Goose needs to get the hell out of his house and drive over to Durham and have a beer with Spihunter. ;)

Is this still commercial software?  I'd like to try and track down a copy for sure :)  I write linux apps in c all the time.

I think there's a 6.5 + patches archive over on EAB so you can just extract and play ;)

6.58 is the latest

I still have a boxed copy of sas/c that I bought from the hisoft stand at an amiga show back in the day. However I ended up using the geekgadgets gcc 2.95 port more.

Yip, I created a 6.58 Harddrive installation quite a few years ago which involved the original disks and using the patches one at a time.

It has since be rearchived and rehashed over the years since I originally distributed it in .lzx format. The necessary assigns (which need to be changed to reflect your installation directory) need to be put in your startup or user startup. Look for them at the end of a readme file, just can't recall the name of the readme at the moment but it should be in the main directory.

I believe it might be available on the EAB file server.

Yikes, I looked into the deepest archives and found the archive.

SASC658.lzx                 3000699 ----rwed 08-Feb-04 13:29:07

It is at the end of the READ.ME text file in the root directoy, I had installed it in Work:SC

;BEGIN SAS/C
assign sc: work:sc
assign lib: sc:lib
assign include: sc:include
assign cxxinclude: sc:cxxinclude
path sc:c add
;END SAS/C

In Kiwiland we are day-month-year

Thanks guys, I'll try these updates and see if it behaves better. Gotta say it's really primitive (no project ide) just you and your organization. I like it.

Thanks EAB people...

Sweet deal, thanks man :)  Is this on eab/zone/s?  Now I can try my hand at programming in amigaos.

A couple years ago I did a manual install from disks and then added the patches one by one - gets pretty complicated after a while!

I think the last patch was 6.58. There was work done after that toward a SAS/C with PowerPC support, I'm not sure if that was released or not. As I remember they were rolling their own PowerPC solution, different than both PowerUP and WarpOS.

SAS did a big clearance sale of the Amiga compiler, but they still have it copyrighted/proprietary. They did not open-source it or anything like that.

Have you tried the unofficial SAS/C site at http://www.warped.com/amiga/.

For a more up to date c compiler, try VBCC at http://www.compilers.de/vbcc.html

Yes, sorry for the late reply

In the programming section somewhere in the murky depths :lol:

If you need more assistance with SAS/c then just ask.

For some tutorials see http://www.pcguru.plus.com/programming.html
