I have installed the MorphOS SDK on one of my computers and need some advice on how to get it set up correctly.

I also want to learn PortablE, which requires GCC version 4.x to work, but when I type gcc -v in a Shell window, I get a response that version of gcc installed is 2.95.3

Any other advice on how to get this set up correctly would be appreciated.

I have the Cubic IDE CD, but realize that I may not need to use it any longer, since the new SDK was finished. Can, or should I use them together?

"gccselect 4" helped with the GCC version but the Wiki in the MorphZone library mistakenly says that it should say "gccselect 4.4.5".

Once installed there are no manual steps involved in getting the SDK to work.

gcc is just a symlink to ppc-morphos-gcc-2.95.3 by default. GCC4 is called ppc-morphos-gcc-4.4.5. Don't think you should change the default compiler for PortablE.

You could use CubicIDE, but what would be the point? It has been made obsolete by the introduction of Scribble.

Quote:

I won't change the default compiler, as you suggested. I was thinking that my CubicIDE might be obsolete with Scribble implemented in the new SDK, but now that you write and confirm it, I might as well un-install CubicIDE, unless I keep it for Hollywood programming, as I think there is a plug-in for CubicIDE and Hollywood that might be useful.

I am going to concentrate on learning PortablE first.

Thanks to Samurai_Crow for helping me earlier today to test that I got it installed correctly and writing my first E program lines.
