Programming compiler

You will have hard time with such stock setup. If you want to do programming still, I'd recommend WinUAE, at least until your system has some more "oomph". You could even make it so that the compile directory is shared and mounted with smbfs, then you could do testing using the A1200.

EDIT: Oops, W/ HDD, read W/O ;-)

It is possible though, I used to have special compressed devenv (SAS/C, though I think it was Lattice/C back then. I think it was before SAS institute bought it) on 3 floppies on my A500. It took months to set everything up so I woudln't need to swap disks all the time, though. It was a bit slow on 68000 and floppies only.

Oh that was fun... ;-)

g++ (gnu c++)

That will NOT run on stock A1200.

What is AmigaBasic? (i have version 1.2) its on my WB1.2 Disks (Extras)

It's basic for amiga, written by Microsoft. It's horribly buggy and it won't work on your A1200 without patching.

If you really want to run it, here's the patch:
PtchAmigaBASIC.lha

I can't remember if this was enough to make it run though, you still might need to turn off caches completely (cpu nocache iirc).

No, it's BASIC.

Anyway, here's hilarious, but still somewhat useful quick reference to various programming languages: http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/

You can get quick idea of the structure and the syntax by just taking a look at the simple 99-bottles-of-beer code. :-)
