Free C Compilers for Amiga?
« on: June 09, 2013, 04:30:27 PM »
What are the options for free C Compilers on Amiga ..?
Both under AmigaOS-68k environment and crosscompiled from Unix.

Ie like Borland Turbo C & Bcc..

(assembler can be handy too)

What compiler would parse anfs ?

Anyway if I use GCC, will the binaries be alright? I have the feeling those executables re fine on multi-MHz and multi-MB machines with swap.. but not much else ;)

My concern regarding GCC was how the binariers used would turn out. The system requirements of the compile process is a lesser concern because it's most likely will be done using cross compilation if possible. As that would be way faster. ;)

The problem with SAS/C is getting the bits.. :P
(I proberbly has it on a few floppies which I think I know where they are which can be read in a likely working amiga computer which perhaps would like to do some RS232 - now where is improbability drive when you need it! :D)

The most desired setup considering the answers here would be a unix system running DICE using SAS/C Makefiles to produce binaries which is then tested with UAE.

I have done SAS/C years ago with 1 MB A500 using a floppy drive.. *pain* but it made it possible to code C at home..! then I got a HDD.. tight memory but less pain. Had to quit editor for each compile to free upp memory.. no swap.

You should have bought yourself


Problem was that those cash were hard to get by ;)

I recall calculating the cost for a 20 MB RAM disk for the C64 long before that. But would it would have ended with a cost of 11 000 USD..
(I contemplated the possibility to have 8 slow (2 MHz) 6510 CPUs sharing the bus in a true multicore setup as well)
