Best development tools for Amiga?

[Dietmar]

Buy the Amiga Developer CD 2.1 . It comes with a freebie version of Storm C++ that works ok. This will insure that you have the include file headers for AmigaOS 3.5 .

One might also consider using GoldED Studio AIX. The editor integrates nicely with SAS/C, StormC, vbcc and GNU gcc. The latter two are free compilers and are included on the GoldED CD. OS3.9 headers are included as well. You'll have your integrated development environment ready with a few mouse clicks. Features include syntax highlighting, online help for functions, programs to set compiler options, point-and-click make etc.  A trial version is available on http://golded.dietmar-eilert.de

If you need a somewhat usable source level debugger and do not insist on C++, try to locate a used SAS/C package. If C++ is a requirement, StormC seems to be the only option.
