VBCC unstable?

[Merax]

I recently installed VBCC to start working on some Amiga software.   It seems to work fine the first time I use it.  After that it causes a guru crash and forces me to reboot to get another compile out of it.

Is this program just not very stable or did I maybe do something wrong installing it?

I have a stock Amiga 1200 except for a 4 MB RAM expansion.

If this is typical for vbcc, is there a more stable compiler that someone can recommend?  I tried gcc a bit but was unable to get it installed correctly.

Wow, that seems to have fixed it...I can compile multiple times without crashing, thanks a bunch .

Now that I can play around a bit, another question came up.

I tried doing some floating point math in my test program (I have no FPU, I figured it would be emulated) and I'm getting link errors for several symbols related to that(like __ieeemuld).  What lib do I need to link in to get floating point to work and what's the command line argument look like to do that?

Thanks again!

I hope no one minds if I use this thread to post questions as I learn to set up my little programming environment

I downloaded the Amiga C Manual from here:  http://www.amigau.com/c-programming/C/ctut.htm
which comes with several simple programs.

I'm trying to compile the first example program in the ACM1/Windows/ directory and ran into two problems.

The first was that the compiler couldn't find the include .  I looked through the files that came with VBCC and found intuition.h in the m68k-amigaos/include/proto directory and tried including that instead.  Unfortunately, this header file tries to include exec/types.h, which doesn't seem to exist in the VBCC directories.

So, where can I get this file from and what else might I be missing?  I just want to get a nice working development environment here so I can learn Amiga graphics and windows programming

Thanks!

Thanks again Thomas, I'm sure that's the problem.  I should have mentioned before that I'm using WB 3.1.  Do you know where I might be able to find the development kit for that version?

Thanks all, I am able to compile the examples now
