I want make something with Flow Development Studio and MorphOS SDK but I don't know as to configure Flow with the SDK examples, is there any help to configure it?
I open the example blankers wavey.c and when I try to test it only I got the error no input files.
I used the Borland Turbo C++ and I like from this the easy to run the projects, this is possible with Flow Development Studio and how?

It's easy:

Drag'n Drop any examples on Flow Studio and click on the "hammer" symbol to "MAKE" the binary.

I try it. It works and is fast.

I drag and drop the SDK examples, I saw that Flow Studio makes the binaries if there is the Makefile join the c files, without this file Flow Studio doesn't make the binaries but these binaries don't work.
If I test other c files or I make the typical HelloWorld how I do it?
Also I open the lua examples and the Flow ask me the makefile, always it is necessary?
And someone example to see run any demo or little thing with Flow because the examples of SDK doesn't work binaries.

Thank you for your help.

Every C project needs a makefile to compile the sources. If it is not available then you can create one.
Lua is a script languaje "like" arexx.
You should read about C and makefiles first.

Pd.
If you create a new project in Flow and add the sources to the project the makefile is created automatically.

For a „one file“ project you don‘t necessarily need a makefile.
Some editors support this and you can run c files out of the box for rapid prototyping or just trying out some code.

I have much doubts, I tested the typical Hello world,
#include <proto/dos.h>

int main(void)
{
  Printf("Hola Mundo!\n");
  return 0;
}
I saved the file as Hola.c, but if I touch the hammer button, in the Build Output shows No targets specified and no makefile found.
If I touch the run button open a error window with this: Please select a project in the workspace, I make a new WorkSapce project and it makes a makefile with many information when other makefiles only have a few text lines.

Its so difficult make a c program with Flow Studio or there are some tricks to make it run c projects?

Hi,

Thanks for testing Flow Studio. Unfortunately we do not yet have any tutorials or videos explaining this stuff in an easy way but in general it should not be very difficult and mostly in line with how this works in other IDEs.

1) It is correct that Flow Studio needs a project. Just create a simple one and then add your hello.c file to it.
2) Press the hammer and wait until it's ready building.
3) Press the blue arrow to run your project. Your printf message will pop up in a new window in case you started Flow Studio from Ambient and if it was started from a shell, you will see the output there.

That should be it really!

The Makefile looks complex because it is quite generic and contains a whole framework for managing also large and complex projects including many different options. However, the idea here is that you basically *never* need to open it. Just let Flow Studio do its work and focus on writing code and add the source files to your project.

I hope this helps but do not hesitate to ask again otherwise.

Best,

Slightly OT but is there any chance that Flow Studio would get back ported to 68k?

It's really good and I'd love to use it when not at home but taking carrying one laptop around with me is enough, can't carry the Powerbook too. I thought I'd ask as the likelihood of being able to use MorphOS itself in QEMU is pretty much zero.

Quote:

No, that's very unlikely - not least because it would mean porting also whole bunch of dependencies, including MUI5 (the real one). I have to admit I have some sympathy for the proposition though as I sometimes wish I did have FlowStudio on my macbook

Quote:

hehe :)

Pretty please can we have MorphOS on QEMU then? ;)

Hi Nicholas, slightly OT, too: I heard you have put some work into FlowStudio to support also the Hollywod language. Let me encourage you to proceed with Hollywood suppot for FlowStudio. With Cubic/GoldED not supporting UTF codesets is rather a dead end and FlowStudio looks pretty great. And since I am rather too lazy|stupid|#? for C++ I would be very glad to become a happy Hollywood FlowStudio user.

@Nadir:

There is a little problem with Flowstudio: I did't use the projekts and the generic makefiles from Flowstudio.
I use my own make files. But if i create a new project, Flowstudio did't recognize my makefile.
That's bad, because why it is'nt possible to switch to own makefiles ?

There is a checkmark in the project settings if you want to use own makefiles!

But in most cases it is easier and more useful to create a project with a makefile and just add the source files to it.

So you can benefit from all the features FlowStudio provides and the makefile will automagically get all future features and options.

All FlowStudio really lacks right now is proper out of the box locale/catalogs support. Those rules need to be added manually using the project settings.

No need to edit a file by hand anymore.

Thank you for your help, but I don't get run my Hola.c I tryed several ways but only I got the message from Build Output:
ppc-morphos-gcc-5: fatal error: no input files.

Flow Studio looks a good program to programming but for the people that use the IDEs as Hollywood IDE(Windows) or the Microsoft programming enviroments even the old MS-DOS Turbo C o Turbo Pascal with all in one, test and editor is very difficult use your program or the previous Scrible, perhaps a good solution is make a SDK pack with Flow Studio the c libraries, examples, etc.

I think you need to learn the basics about compiling C code, makefiles etc etc.

Its really easy to run a simple Hello World example.

I made a small video how to create a new project in FlowStudio, click there:

The author of Hollywood kindly offered me a license so that I could look into adding support for it. This is still on my todo list but unfortunately I didn’t have the time to do anything about it for MorphOS 3.10/3.11. The issue is that neither me or anyone else from the team is using Hollywood so it takes some effort to just get acquainted to it.

I do intend to at least add lexing support similar to what is currently offered for AmigaE. Beyond that, I think it would have to wait for a time when FlowStudio offers a more complete plugin system and someone else can implement a module.

Best,

Nicholai

Thank you for your heklp and video, incredible the code:
#include <proto/dos.h>
int main(void)
{
  Printf("Hola Mundo!\n");
  return 0;
}

It doesn't work, I got thus error message Hola.c:7:1: error: stray '240' in program

Did you c&p that from some website?

Seems that you have a non-displayble character messing things up.

Just delete all whitespace in that line (and add it as spaces/tabs) and all should be fine.

Well, that was your code;)
And yes, your example code had alt-space instead of space characters, so just replace them, and all will be fine!

Thanks for your help, I copy the code and this alt-space doesn't see.

Quote:

This is a quite common problem when you copy and paste source code from a browser into (any) programming editor. I will see if I can make those spaces display in the style of a control code so that the mistake can be spotted more easily.

Quote:

Many thanks to all for your help, yes the copy and paste for browsers although this be OWB gives this problem.
Other big question more C examples compatibles with MorphOS?
The Turbo C and ANSI C are compatibles?

I leave the C programming 20 years ago and need relearn step to step.
