AmigaOS 4 development on Linux.

I have been attempting to setup a AmigaOS development environment on X86 Linux.

I can get it to compile C progs for Amiga, but none that require Amiga specific stuff like ReAction windows. Yes, I have the SDK installed, links made, export path, etc..

Does anybody have a working cross-compile setup on Linux?

I used to have working cross compiler setup using cygwin.

do you find the header files, when you compile?


#include <proto/exec.h>

#include <proto/dos.h>

#include <proto/intuition.h>



int main()

{



}

Normally you can compile whit -lauto -lraauto flas, but don't know if that works whit a cross compiler, if not you will need to OpenLibrarie's and OpenClass's manually.

Don't forget -D__USE_INLINE__ saves you alot of truble in the long run, the -lauto stuff should not be used anyway.

Do you get any errors?

Note that raauto is obsolete and no longer required.

@ssolie
What about removing -lauto totally from next SDK ? If it obsolete and should be not used, then there should be no place in SDK for it at all to avoid any confusion.

I use crosscompiler on my winxp/cygwin all the time. All you need its follow zerohero's install instructions. If you will have after that any questions, just ask.

Yes. No header files.

The problem is the compile process is not finding the /SDK.
It will build Amiga compatible C routines.

I have followed zerohero's instructions (several times). It will build 'Hello world', but no ReAction stuff. It reports something like 'reaction.h no such file or directory'.

I do not have any windows computers, so no cygwin.

I wonder if I could add some kind of #include statement to the programs to find the /SDK directory? Any hints?

Too early, I need more coffee.

Thanks Guys.

It's #include only inside source files, for gcc -I instead... you said correctly that this is set per program, so use -I flag.

Read more carefully

He (ssolie) said "raauto" not "auto" the code from libraauto.a has been merged with libauto.a for sometime now. (since OS4 itself?)

it exists only as a stub in newlib and clib for backwards compatabilty, similar to libm.a and libsocket.a in the newlib libs which are also stubs for code that is elsewhere.

You claim to have followed the instructions but it certainly sounds like you missed at least one of the steps.

Some questions:

1. Do you have the SDK directory in "/usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/"?

2. Do you have the OS includes installed in "/usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/SDK/include/include_h"?

3. Have you created a soft link from "/SDK" to /usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/SDK?
ln -s /usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/SDK /SDK

Note also that the case of file/directory names is important on linux because linux file-systems are case-sensitive.

Yes, to all questions.

If I do the following it finds the needed files, but ......thats crazy.

#include </SDK/Include/include_h/exec/types.h>
#include </SDK/Include/include_h/dos/dos.h>
#include </SDK/Include/include_h/classes/window.h>
#include </SDK/Include/include_h/gadgets/button.h>

I have tried making various links in various places without luck.
I also imagine this is only the first of several problems.

P.S. If I seem rather thick headed for some of what you guys are talking about,,
it is because I am.

Just a dumb question: how are you compiling? I.e. what is the command line you are using?

ppc-amigaos-gcc test.c -o test

Also with various switches like -lauto.

Got an Idea? I'll try it.

these are the type of errors I get;

/SDK/Include/include_h/classes/window.h:18:31: error: reaction/reaction.h: No such file or directory

The path to the OS includes should be "/SDK/include/include_h" (lower case "i" in "include" directory name) as stated in the instructions here and not "/SDK/Include/include_h". As I said before case matters because linux filesystems are case sensitive.

I was suspecting you weren't using the right command-line (which would have explained why it would not find the includes unless you were explicitly state absolute path to them)...

Yes I do understand about cAsE. But, that (above) works.
This, below, does not work.

#include <dos/dos.h>
#include <classes/window.h>
#include <gadgets/button.h>
#include <gadgets/layout.h>

and to have a path to every file/function in the SDK listed in the source code is simply not going to be any fun at all.

I will change the 'Include' to 'include' and be back.

Obviously I wasn't clear enough. You need to **rename** the **directory** "/SDK/Include" to "/SDK/include" otherwise the cross-compiler won't find the files unless you specify the path manually when compiling using "-I/SDK/Include/include_h".

Stupid, stupid, stupid..........

'make a directory called SDK there, case is important.'

So I made sure sdk was SDK. Then stopped right there.

I guess I really am one of those people that needs everything
driven into my head with a heavy hammer.

Changed SDK/Include to SDK/include and AOK.

I use ppc-amigaos-gcc test.c -o test -lauto and so far so good.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I usually leave that up to the wife, but this was another of those instances where you do something silly and look around wondering if somebody seen you do it. Like the time I stepped off my bike without putting the side stand down. DOH!
