MorphOS C++ compiler / development

[motorollin]

What is the best C++ compiler for MorphOS? Ideally an IDE with code colouring would be ideal, but not essential. I've searched Aminet for "C++" but most of the results I found were "experimental" or "untested". Which is the best?

I'm going to have a bash at porting an OpenGL game to MorphOS. I assume the TinyGL library is what I want for this? I tried compiling the game under MacOnLinux and it fell over at commands like "SetColor", "SetAlpha" etc. I now know this is because OpenGL doesn't work under MOL. I assume there are equivalent commands in TinyGL?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You should get the official SDK from mdc (requires free registration), it comes with gcc and syntax highlighting text editor. You might want to consider buying Cubic IDE aswell.

Those don't sound like OpenGL functions at all. In fact all (or at least most) OpenGL function calls begin with gl-prefix, like glColor4f() etc.

Those sound like some internal functions of the game you're compiling, or functions from something it needs, but you don't have.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know there was an official dev kit. I have already registered as a MOS user and have access to the download area for MOS and the patches. Does that also get me in to the Dev's area?

They're not functions defined in the code of the game, so they must be internal functions of BlitzMax (the language the game is written in). It compiles fine on my Intel MacBook, but not on MacOnLinux. I suppose I'll have to find TinyGL equivalents for the functions as and when I get to them  :-?

Thanks again

For the MDC you need another Login because this is independend from the MorphOS Registration.

Have just registered on the MDC. Any idea how long it takes them to approve (or not) the registration?
