Which C compiler to use on A1200 with 8M of Fast RAM?
« on: February 21, 2007, 06:10:24 AM »
Hi,

I just need to compile simple 'console' apps to directly work with peripherals, like serial and floppy ports.

What tools can be used on almost unexpanded A1200 (only 8M of Fast RAM available) to write in C? I am familiar with m68k command set since I fiddled with Palm handhelds, but writing in asm seems rather complex to me.

Thanks.

SAS/C (commercial), if you can get hold of it.

You can also try dice, vbcc or (my favorite) gcc.

The above links may not be correct nor the latest version, it's 08:36 in the morning and I just searched Aminet really quick.

@skurk

Thanks! I'd prefer gcc if it only would run on my setup.

If you're not using C++, then get VBCC.  It loops more efficiently than SAS.  Just don't use switch/case structures with VBCC since they aren't optimized at all.  It's latest version is 0.8i or so.
