StormC 4 Special Offer

[teo]

Can anyone tell me where to get the gcc compiler from? is it on aminet? does it come with any good doco's?

Also, anyone out there thats usings stormC 4, can you tell me if its good/bad/ugly and if it is worth the discounted asking price? (disregarding the amilthon debate)

I thought i might get back to coding some simple apps for my old mildy expanded A1200 (68030@50Mhz+8Mb Ram) but i would like a decent IDE + docs & help but...

Don't even think about using gcc with that setup, it would be very painful. gcc is hardly usable on machines 20 times faster than your hardware. For your system, I'd recommend SAS/C (via ebay). It comes with a debugger. If it has to be free, try DICE. Another free option is vbcc, which, unlike DICE, is still supported. But I have no idea how fast it is on a 030 with 8 MB RAM. If I may give you an advice, get rid of that horrible setup ASAP. A cheap used PC with WinUAE (100 EUR total) will make an enormous difference.

hehe, thanks for the advice, its much appreciated. Actually i have a host of PC's rather capable of doing the task come to think of it, and my amiga environment is mirrored on one of them vie UAE already,  however to whole idea of the project is to play with the good old A1200 on the tv, for not much than nostagia's sake, ill leave all my real dev projects of more capable machines.  So i might have a go at gcc, otherwise, the sas/c ebay solution may be perfect...
