AWeb is a pain to compile for 68k. I never got it to compile completely. I recommend GCC 2.95.3 as that's what most of the developers were using and it generates pretty good code. Besides some varargs problems (I reported 1 at the time), it's important to have the correct include files as some of the 3rd party include files have bugs including the AmigaOS 3.9 includes. Some of the last authors like broadblues (AmigaOS 4 Blender porter on http://www.amigaworld.net) and Opi (MorphOS user) are still around and would probably help you. There's a couple of AWeb guys on http://www.natami.net/ too. There has been several threads and talk of restarting active development also. Sign up, post a new thread and I think you will find that you will have plenty of friendly help.

I didn't expect it would compile any more with SAS/C but the last versions did compile with GCC 2.95.3 and mostly with later versions of GCC. Sure, the conditional code for 68k, AROS, AmigaOS 4.x and MorphOS is going to make the source harder to read and create some problems but there has been some significant *positive* changes since the 2002 release. Also, GCC 2.95.3 generates better code than SAS/C in my opinion.
