Hello to everybody on this site,

I am new to Morphos and very excited actually I am really going crazy for it!
Yesterday I installed the latest version of it and downloaded the SDK too.
Honestly I feel a little bit puzzled because I am doing a lot
of tests trying to install it and get working the SDK C enviroment.
I run Scribble but I do not know how to open and compile a Project.
Do you have any idea where to find a guide explaining how to open for example a C source as a project and get it compiled by Scribble?

I would like to learn how to do it...and do not use the shell to compile my sources

thanks for helping...

Scribble will run "make (all)" in the current directory when hit either the hammer-icon or R-Amiga-M.

So you will need to create a makefile, even if it's of the most trivial kind.

There is indeed no automated build system in the SDK. You have to create a makefile for your project.

Can anyone explain to me what project options is for? Woulb be nice write all dependencies and scribble generate the makefile like in others ides.

They are used to control indexation and makefile location. There are no plans atm to automate building.

Hi!

Can you tell me where can I find any tutorial or example explaining how to create a makefile?

Thanks

the simplest makefile is:

all:
gcc -noixemul -o programname.exe programname.c

Save the file with the name Makefile in the same directory as your project.

You can make more complex makefiles and google is your friend. I'm not good coding.

I am sorry Tolkien what do you mean with:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makefile

Or just look into the examples provided with the sdk, most directories there contains a textfile named makefile. Some trivial, others a bit harder to gasp, but in the end they are all just scripts starting the gnu-tools (like gcc) just you would in the shell to compile manually.

Take for example the one in the MUI directory.

1st you have a line naming all the MUI-demos in there

Next line tell that for "make (all)" all these demos have to be build

Now it checks wether for every "name".c is an executable "name" that is younger than "name".c. If not it gets compiled.

Last bit allows you to delete all executables by issung "make clean".

In the intuition-directory the same goal is reached by having a seperate rule for every executable.

If your project is spread over multiple sources you would need to do something similar only generating objects instead of executables. The linking command would than end up under "all:"

If you don't want to do that manually you could try some makefile generator (found on Aminet or MorphOS-files). Cubic-IDE also has a neat feature that will autogenetate working makefiles for existing projects (based on automake AFAIR), unregistred version should be enough, maybe even the older light version bundled as MorphED with older versions of the SDK.

Personally I use some scripts/makefiles I borrowed from opensource projects that allow me to just add a new source as "name".o to makefile.objs and than does all the magic on it's own (of which I understand about 50%).

Thanks Kronos, thanks to everyone of you...

This week end I am going to give a look into the folder examples of my SDK installation and would some tests.

Anyway I own an original copy of Cubic IDE but when the cd arrived to me from the seller I managed to install it on my morphos set up but I had some errors with the installer so I gave it up!

I think that something was missing from the installer to perform a correct installation or that some fixes have to be made.

I would let you know what happens in my Cubic IDE soon....

Yes, I have an original copy of CubicIDE and have the same problems with the installer so I dont use it.

I see.... It would have been better if we could ask for help to the company.

We have payed for this software!
