Has anyone managed to get the examples in the ROM manual to work?
In particular I'm having trouble with the very first graphics example --
the one that simply sets up a View. I'm running V1.0 AmigaDOS and have
V3.02 of the Lattice C disk. I've discovered that the #include files
dma.h and regs.h no longer exist. I assume that they have been replaced by
dmabits.h and custom.h. After changing these and including a few other files
etc. I managed to get the example to compile, but it doesn't seem to work.
(The screen goes black and a ^-A-A is needed to recover.)
BTW one line in the example is as follows:
struct BitMap *b; /* allocate space for bitmap */
^ \ /
^----------------^
|
"does not compute!"
Needless to say, deleting the * does wonders for the program.
I doubt that I am the only one to run into problems like this. If someone
has solutions to this or other problems they've encountered please post them.
(No sense in each of us re-inventing the wheel etc.)
Thanks,
Bill Zielinski
