I am a Freeciv addict and I want to be able to compile Freeciv from source on my Amiga so that I can try out the latest addition and bugfixes.
I also wouldn't mind learning a bit of coding as well. Currently my programming experience is based on AmiBlitz2 and a bit of E.
I picked up a second hand copy of SAS/C 6.3 (no manual unfortunately), but there also seems to be GCC, StormC and a bunch of others as well.
Freeciv is written in GCC but the Amiga (MUI) client (written by Sebastian Bauer) seems to written in SAS/C (with support for VBCC.
So these are my questions:
1) What is the best C (or C++) package for Amiga programming, and where can I get it?
2) How compatible are the various packages? Could I, for instance, compile source written in GCC with SAS/C and vice-versa?
3) All the includes and everything that came with SAS/C 6.3 seem to be for OS1.3 and 2.x. I run OS3.5 so do I need some sort of SDK from somewhere or do I need a more modern version of SAS/C?
4) Does anyone here have any experience compiling Freeciv on their Amiga? Any particular advice or suggestions?
