Does anyone have a reference they could point me to that has hints on
converting C programs from Aztec/Manx to Lattice? It seems that every
time I get a good program I would like to modify, it is in Manx. (I am
sure that if I had a Manx compiler it would be the other way around.)
I am really a newcomer to C, but one of the things I have read many times is
that C is PORTABLE. I have found that to be the case with the C code
written FOR OTHER COMPUTERS and ported to the amiga, but not between the
two major C compilers for the amiga. So what I need is a source of tips for
converting Manx to Lattice. Most often I get a message from the linker
saying that this or that function can't be found; do I want to define it
as _stub? Occasionally I have found hints in the source as to what those
functions do and have been able to write my own replacements. The other
problem I've had is the compile time error; these are not quite as hard to
figure out because you can look them up in the manual and work from there.
So to summarize:
1. Does anyone have a reference with hints on conversions from Manx to Lattice?
2. What other solutions to this problem are there? Does everyone just buy
both compilers? Maybe that is what Manx and Lattice want....
3. Is there a library of C programs available that will fill in the missing
functions in each?
Thanks for the help!
