@Ami603...

Hmmmmm no it ain't down.Seems a.org just can't handle a
link to an ftp-dir that easy.

Try starting from here.

>I did download golded from their site recently too. The installer mentions gcc but as the archive did not inlude it, it simply skips it.

The GoldED demo does not include the gcc compiler, it's simply too large. 50 MB or something like that. It's only included on the CD (gcc 2.95.3 for m68k and, starting with the update scheduled for next week, gcc for MorphOS, too).

Usually geekgadgets binaries (and sources?) are to be extracted to the root (not the volume root of course, if your geekgadgets isn't supposed to be there), say GG: (/GG). So as long as you know it is a GG-archive which you need, it won't be far off to use that location. Also it's advised to use a proper program for extraction, namely Amiga lha or GNU tar as required.

I am in the process of switching from SAS/C to StormC 4 (based on GCC btw).

I have installed GCC before.There is more than one archive to download, so you may need to download these parts (see Aminet dev/gcc)

gcc270-base.lha (common files)
gcc270-c.lha  (C compiler)
gcc270-c++.lha (C++ compiler)
gcc270-doc.lha (documentation)
gcc270-inclib.lha (Headers and Link libraries)
gcc270-readme.lha (Readme)

They all need to go in the same directory structure
e.g. DH0:gcc\...

PS You can get StormC cheap (£25) from Haage and Partner if you would prefer a straightforward installation and a pretty good IDE interface.pjhutch@pcguru.plus.com

Thanks, but I'm actually headed the other way. StormC's existing C++ support is too poorly implemented for my requirements..
