Hello!


I have already found, downloaded and played with AmiDevCpp.  It seems like a capable IDE, but I couldn't figure out how to execute its compiler from Cygwin (probably due to lack of good documentation for the software).  I was wondering if anyone else bothers with using it or if I should just got the VS/gcc route?

Thanks for any help as I'm really looking forward to getting my hands dirty pretty quickly.


Hiya,

Yep I used AmiDevCpp, install it to your WinBox, write some code, hit the compile button.....done ;)

I've also had a play with CubicIDE (68k native GUI/compiler) but found that it was quicker to develop using AmiDevCpp.

The real pain-in-the-ass thing about developing 68k C/C++ code (GCC) is the lack of debugging tools.   I've had bugs that have taken me weeks to fix using loads of silly debug messages that would have taken me about 10 mins to fix with a modern step-through IDE intergrated debugger.
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!
