Sorry if this is a FAQ - I'm new to this group. Where can I get GNU cc for the Amiga? What is the latest version available? (I don't have access to anonymous ftp, but might be able to get someone else to get me a copy if it isn't available on a mail server. Or is it on a Fred Fish or similar disk?) Any comments on how it compares with other public domain C compilers (e.g. DICE). e.g. size of machine required, level of optimization, support for floating point co-processors/accelerators (e.g. if you have a 68030, do you get to run 68030 code, or just 68000 code faster)? (I know Sun-3 version supports 68020 and 68881 flags). Recommended assemblers (I assume gas exists if gcc does)? Is g++ (or any other public domain C++ compiler) available on the Amiga? (Any information on Gnu Emacs on Amiga (mouse support) also welcomed - I use it at work on my Sun, but don't run X on my 1500. (On the subject of X - what's the minimum configuration needed to run X sensibly - is it even worth thinking about on anything less than a 3000?) alanb@sdl.mdcbbs.com Alan Braggins `cat ~/.disclaimer; fortune`
