Does anyone know what the status of the GCC port is? I would really
like to be able to compile my sources under that same program I use at work.
If there was not a port in-the-makes, I was going to port the Atari ST to
the Amiga.
Any information you can pass on would save a lot of head banging. 8^)

To All Amiga Unix Guru's:
Has anybody ported GNU gcc to the amiga? Respond to me or
comp.sys.amiga.tech.
Thank You.vinsci@funet.fi (Leonard Norrgard) (01/07/91)
Since you were going to ask.... [Note: The GNU ld linker is also ported and produces Amiga executables from unix style object files.] From: vinsci@NIC.FUNET.FI (Leonard Norrgard) Newsgroups: bit.listserv.i-amiga Subject: Re: ? PDC 3.34 & optimization Date: 5 Jan 91 03:43:54 GMT In-Reply-To: A0NJ@UNB.CA's message of 4 Jan 91 22:31:50 GMT >Where is this port of GCC available? By ftp from nic.funet.fi, look in the directory pub/amiga/gnu/gcc/port for several subdirectories containing different ports. Output from ls -lgR included below. Unless you have Manx C available you currently will want the Burr-Rushing-Pigg port (BuRP for short :-) which you can now use with the PDC libraries. NOTE1: None of the ports are what we consider release versions for Amiga GCC. The BuRP and Wild ports are pretty stable, but lacking in some areas. (Don't look for a debugger -- yet) NOTE2: As you can see from the listing below, the files you need to use a port are rather large. Please do not use mail-servers to retrieve the stuff unless you need this desperately and can't get anyone with ftp access to fetch it for you. When the port is finished (later this year), it will released to several places, including the fish disks. Full source is of course available. >How does it compare to the >commercial compilers such as SAS/C? You mean how SAS/C compares to GCC? Well, SAS/C is more adapted to the Amiga, it is smaller (the compiler, not the output). On the other hand most larger projects from the unix world can not be compiled by SAS/C. To do anything real with GCC you will need at least 2.5Mb RAM and a harddisk. Projects underway by the members of the porting group include Kyoto Common Lisp (full version), G++, GDB, X11R4 (will take time) and surely others as well. -- Leonard nic.funet.fi:~pub/amiga/gnu/gcc/port:ls -lgR: total 260 drwxrwxr-x 2 vinsci ftp 512 Jan 3 04:29 Antonishek drwxrwxr-x 2 vinsci ftp 512 Jan 3 17:02 Burr-Rushing-Pigg -rw-rw-r-- 1 vinsci ftp 1017 Aug 28 09:16 PROJECT -rw-rw-r-- 1 vinsci ftp 510 Aug 28 09:15 README drwxrwxr-x 2 vinsci ftp 512 Jan 3 05:55 Wild -rw-rw-r-- 1 vinsci ftp 14842 Aug 25 00:50 arc.amiga-gcc-info -rw-rw-r-- 1 vinsci ftp 224964 Jan 2 08:44 arc.amiga-gcc-port "arc.amiga-gcc-port" is an archive file that gets updated each time someone posts something on the working group's mailing list. drwxrwxrwx 2 vinsci ftp 512 Dec 28 17:46 incoming Anything in this directory is not accessible, usually is moved to the correct place within days.

I'm trying to get the newest version (agcc901022.lzh) of gcc set up on the
Amiga 3000 right now. I'm having problems. First, there is a file, amiga.lib,
which I don't have, nor have I been able to find it. Where can I get it?
When gcc says it needs the amiga include files, which ones are those?
Specically, a line from the gcc setup file says,
; COMPILER-HEADERS: is where the Amiga system includes are.
Where do I get THOSE?
Lastly, at least for now, why, when I attempt to run gcc on the following
simple program
main()
{
printf("Good Morning!\n");
}
, does GCC completely lock my computer? The screen goes blank, my monitor
even starts to whine. I have the stack set to the 131072 bytes they recommend.
Thanks for any help!

It contains stubs for the various OS routines that are detailed in the Rom Kernel Manuals. Dunno why GCC locks up on you. Sounds like a pretty hard crash to me. My first guess is that GCC is missing something it needs to link to. -- Kevin --

The amiga.lib file should come with the PDC distribution. I think its
their own reverse engineered AMIGA.LIB that C= sends out. I also had
my hello world program crash. It eventually turned out that my acrt0.o
(or something like that) file was bad. Its size was smaller than the one
used by other people that had GCC working. So I got the PDC asm source
for it and compiled it with A68k. The resulting .o was the right size and
no more crashes!
So give it a try!

The distribution of the result publicly is not necessarily OK (unless they check that the receiver also is the owner of an Amiga Extras disk), as it clearly is a derived work of the AmigaBasic .fd files as found on every Extras disk. The distribution of a program that creates an amiga.lib from the same files is perfectly legit, though. Of couse, I'm no lawyer. > -- Ethan -- Leonard

If it is generated from scratch from the FD files, with other incidental routines written by the PDC people, then it is publically distributable. If it is the commodore-supplied amiga.lib, then it is not. MANX, SAS, Myself (DICE), and a few other people have licensed the amiga includes and amiga.lib from Commodore but we cannot distribute them publically either, only as part of a product. >> -- Ethan > >-- Leonard -Matt -- Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA
