Best C compiler for Amiga?

[NovaCoder]

If you have a PC running Windows, I'd recommend AmiDevCpp.

I couldn't really get on with AmiDev (too buggy), I'm currently trying to setup Eclipse CDT with gcc (cross-compiler), looking good (so far).

If you want to code on a real Amiga instead then I'd recommend either CubicIDE or StormC V4 (which also has a GUI editor called StormWizard, which is now open source).

Anyway....have fun!

Don't care too much about the debugging...

The compiler needs to support Stock/Original Amiga 500 targets (68000/1.x/512k+ RAM)...   Since all I have is the above mentioned target right now, it will either need to be a Windows (such as the first one mentioned here) compiler, or something else...

edit: NovaCoder - missed your reply when I wrote this -..  Will CubicIDE or StormC (sounds familiar) run on A500?  I'm building a 2meg/IDE upgrade to help there..

Thanks,

Hiya,

Unless you have a RTG Amiga, you're better coding on a PC if you're after a decent IDE.

Basically for win32 native coding you either have AmiDevCPP or some other IDE using gcc (eg Eclipse).   If you want to code using WinUAE or have an RTG Amiga then you're looking at CubicIDE or StormV4.

I often see people posting that AmiDevCpp is buggy, but I dont get much bug reports from the people that are actually using it (DaveAE / AudioEvolution, Jahc / WookieChat etc.)

So would you please post proper bug reports or stop calling it buggy ?

SAS/C is freeware....you can get it over from the EAB file server (I think).

- note I just got Eclipse CDT working with gcc and Cygwin (only took me 3 days), now where's that cross compiler
