Amiga programming...pls HELP!!!

[Ntelios]

Hi!
 I want to write a simple program in Amiga Environment for a project at the University.I use Windows XP and i tried to use winUAE emulator but a message appears: No kickstart ROM found with name kick.rom trying default locations...
Is there a program language that i could use from Windows and write the program?If someone could direct me with exact steps what to do, i would appreciate it!Thanx

You need to get your hands on a Kickstart ROM image.

Once you have the ROM image in place, you can create a directory on your XP harddisk and point the Amiga hdd to that directory (WinUAE->Hard drives->Add Directory).  Install Workbench and whatever else you may need there.

If you don't own an Amiga, you will have to obtain the kickstart and Workbench files illegally.  Posting guidelines forbids me to tell you how, but I'm sure you can figure it out somehow.

You should now be able to boot WinUAE to a useable state.

As for the programming part, I HIGHLY recommend using AmiDevCpp which runs on Windows.  Keep your ADC project on the Amiga hdd, compile it, and run the .exe in WinUAE.  AmiDevCpp is free, faster and easier than doing it under WinUAE.

That's how I do it, and it works for me...

Hope this helps.

First: If you want to run winuae you need an amiga kickstart image. (you know THE ROM) In your setup winuae doesn't find its location. If you have it just add the correct path in the setup of winuae. If you don't you need to got one. If you have a real amiga, you can grab an image, or you can buy it from cloanto. (amiga forever)Or you try search the web. 3.1 Kickstart recommended.

Second: After that you need the image disk of the Amiga Operation system. You can buy it also... Os3.1 recommended. But winuae capable to emulate the 3.9 Amiga os too. (much better)

Only then you can use any program on it  (sas/c, vbbc etc.
to make your homework. (but also you need to have this apps, or try to find a freeware or sharware on aminet. There is a plenty on its site. www.aminet.net


Khmm... Which language do you programming?

http://www.amigaforever.com/ has all of the Kickstart ROM images for WinUAE and an install disk included with the higher-priced versions.  (The lower-priced version is just a download so only use it if you have good internet access.)

depending on what your project is and what your interest level is beyond the project you might want to check out AROS

aros is a modernish (currently work in progress) rewrite of the amiga 3.1 os in c and has been ported to several platforms.
 
work is needed on os functions, apps and other stuff like docs etc.
