Amiga E recommendations
« on: February 28, 2011, 09:18:04 PM »
Hi there!
I want to do a little programming in Amiga E. But I don't know what I need to download to get started. I started a bit a long time ago when I had my A1200, but I can't remember anymore. Now I have WinUAE to play around with. Would someone, kindly, point me in the right direction?

http://aminet.net/package/dev/e/ec33a for the original, or you can get PortablE instead. The latter is actively maintained and can works on Windows, AmigaOS3, OS4, AROS and MorphOS.

Another alternative is ECX which is a continuation of original AmigaE following it's principles more closely. By that I mean typeless OO language with very fast compile times. PortablE is more like a typed version of AmigaE with longer compile times as it has to go through C++ as an intermediate language. Therefor the latter is also more portable.

Yes... I tried PortablE, but apparently in needs g++. All I get when I compile is a .cpp file. As I recall E was ready to go from the start. I'll check ECX, thanks.:)
