On a 68k AmigaOS system such as A1200 or WinUAE or Morphos or Cloanto or OS4 or Amithlon, cross compile programs to x86-AROS, via this gcc-3.3.1 cross compiler.
Click here
This cross compiler was built entirely on 68k WinUAE by
combining the existing sources of gcc-3.3.1-aros and
68k hosted gcc-3.3.1-amigaos,
The c compiler part has been tested out on several graphics demos from the archives on the AROS site: blackhole, dawafire, firework,flamme, metaballs, newvox, parallax,
the binaries were generated via 68k WinUAE using this cross compiler and the binaries ran correctly via a i686 compile on my PC.
Hello world also ran correctly. The c++ part of the compiler is fully untested, so any feedback on it will be of interest.
People talk about preventing the AmigaOS alternatives fragmenting, well cross compilers are how you prevent fragmentation: you can generate binaries for machines you dont have.
Previously you needed Linux to develop for AROS although
there is also an AROS-native gcc,

imagine if all the alternative Amiga paths combined into one,
maybe through some sort of amnesty or treaty!
that would be such a powerful entity,
Currently I am based on WinUAE, and after one month of having
Windows XP I know for a fact now that AmigaOS is a better system,
I think even AmigaOS 1.2 totally outdoes XP in many respects,
(I concede that XP has good memory protection and rarely crashes)
When I finish a WinUAE session and return to Windows XP its like
stepping out of wonderland onto a drab pavement!
You know Windows XP doesnt even understand ascii files!
If you double click an ascii file on XP, it tells you that Windows XP
has been unable to determine what type of file it is,
do you want XP to consult some Microsoft website to figure out what this file is?
If you say yes, the Microsoft website also doesnt know what the ascii file is!
ascii files confound the MS empire!
It also doesnt understand eg .tar.bz2 files,
IMO the best way to restore your faith in AmigaOS is actually to buy
a current Windows XP machine.
The hardware is theoretically so powerful and the machine is so unresponsive,
if I switch on an external USB drive, I have to wait for literally minutes
as it does an "autoplay" scan of everything. When you switch off the machine
you have to go through a very long shutdown procedure,
XP can only cope with 4 real hard disk partitions (blue in colour), 1 of these can be an
"extended" partition which can be subdivided into any number of "logical" partitions
(green in colour), the design and thinking is so clunky,
To partition a drive you click through a maze of obscure links:
start --> control-panel --> performance&maintanence --> administrative-tools -->
computer-management --> storage --> disk-management
its as if you are discouraged from low level activities,
The CD writer s/w (RecordNow! (I think)) that came with the XP machine
cannot even cope with creating a data disk by specifying a list of
files + directories, it always malfunctions. So the only way to do it is to use
mkisofs from Geekgadgets to convert the files + directories into an
iso image. :the CD writer copes with this alright. It also duplicates CD's
correctly. |
