Sometimes... You just go mad!
« on: July 21, 2003, 09:31:22 PM »
Programming is sometimes a hard job. Sitting there with a "seems to be unsolveable" problem. It fills you up with frustration - a kind of frustration that drives you mad. So mad you feel like striking you monitor with your fist, striking yourself in the face with the fist or just picking up an axe and go slicing someone you hate... Any suggestions?

Well, here the story. I´m trying to get some work, which I have done during the last half year, working on my amiga. I have succesfully compiled these with gcc (rather g++) on both windows and solaris platforms, but to do the same job on amiga - frustration! Installing gcc was a real pain, and getting it to compile anything seems to be much worse.

I must admit, that I rather bring this to a mailing-list, as I´d expect people to be replying better there. Does there exists a gcc-mailing-list or the likes of it? If not, is there ANY of you out there, who has installed a working version of ggc (g++)?

Please reply if you can help me here, as I would rather not have my work being spoiled...

buy Storm C!


Well, I allready have StormC 3 from developers CD, but I must say that I´m not that fond of it. You´ll see, it is in no way possible to transfer your GCC-code from one platform, and then compile it in StormC. Maybe with C-code, but not in any way with C++-code. Another thing I really hate is the project management. It´s really a mystery to me, that they didn´t make executables of the compilers, so that it possible to use make instead of the existing method, which IMO sucks.

As long as it can´t compile my code, which compile fine on other ports of GCC, then I´m not spending my dimes on it...

@elendil:

I found out, that installing GeekGadgets was the very beginning, so I did that too. When trying to get my projects running, I´ll just run into so many problems, that can´t be solved without lots of guessing and magic. The docs isn´t the best, and sometimes hours of internet search doesn´t lead to solutions either. Thats why I was hoping that an email list existed, so that more experienced user could help me.

BTW. since you got it working, can I send some of my projects to you, just to see if you can compile them?
