SAS/C is freeware....you can get it over from the EAB file server (I think).

- note I just got Eclipse CDT working with gcc and Cygwin (only took me 3 days), now where's that cross compiler

I use SAS/C 6.5x under CubicIDE on AmigaOS 4.1 for compiling classic stuff and find SAS/C the best of what's available. I also set up a 3.1 debug environment on eUAE for the debugging part if various printf()'s aren't enough. I have the complete SAS package plus books, so that helps. The IDE with SAS is OK but really dated now in my opinion. It is fine if you actually develop on the classic too, though.

If you are using the classic hardware to compile, you are much better off with a hard drive at least. It is a nightmare otherwise and SLOWWWWW.

I agree. A bare minimum of 4 MB Fast ram + a Hard drive is needed else the compile process goes 10x to 100x slower than it could.

I created a Harddrive installation of SASC v6.58 many moons ago because so many people at the time seemed to have a lot of trouble installing the patches.

I attached the necessary assignments to the end of one of the readme files in the root directory

So cut and paste that into your user-startup OR attach it to a Project Icon via IconX or what have you OR create a file could IWANTC place it in the C: directory protect it with the s flag and open a shell and type IWANTC prior to using SASC

Just remember, whatever you do, the assigns will need to be altered to paths logical with your set up...

Where to get it? I think there is a copy of it on one of the EAB servers or similair... I uploaded it as a lzx but it was converted to a zip file... HOW TYPICAL LOL

Interesting. I never experienced this kind of errors.
Please tell me Version and OS Version

Have you ever thought about packaging up Eclipse CDT so that you could build native Amiga code on Windows (eg CDT + Cygwin + cross-compiler)?

I tried Eclipse and realised that I am not compatible to the way it works, So no I really dont wont to use that. I thought about Code:Blocks.
