MOS users and programmers.
Except the Aminet & MDC, what other resources you people know?
I'm talking about e-books on pdf or other type format which would help as all to understand better the OS and we can start programming with C/C++ on MOS.

Hey LiquidBit!

You should try to get a hold of Amiga Developer CD 2.1 (The AmigaOS 3.x one, not the DE SDK one). Apart from the ROM Kernel manuals it also has the AmigaMail articles (many of which were written by Commodore engineers) which I thought were excellent, and has other documentation from various devcons and NDKs.

Take a look into Amiga C ml.

It is quiet nowadays but good resource for hints and tips.

The MorphOS Development Reference manual gives precious information
about MorphOS.
Very interresting when you port a 68k application to PowerPC.

It's included in teh SDK or can be find here:
http://zapek.nerim.net/docs/morphos/morphos.pdf

- first get MOS SDK (it contains already a few good examples).

- then get the examples which we have uploaded to mdc.morphos.net file section (itix calculator examples or snes9xstarter source are good starts)

- download mui38dev.lha from aminet (it contains additional and helpful information about MUI programming)

- get muiundoc from aminet too (contains information about a few interesting, but undocumented MUI features)

- don't forget to have a look to the standard documentation about gcc/c/c++ inside gg:guide/ (installed with MOS SDK)

- download AmiTCP/IP SDK from aminet if you plan to make network related applications (only for documentation, includes are already present in MOS SDK)

- check eBay for an Amiga Developer CD (i suggest to get a v1.2, it's probably cheaper and contains already everything you need for MorphOS. v2.1 comes only with extra stuff you don't need (e.g. includes have new copyright header and other useless things )).

that's all what you need, really. Maybe a good c reference book too (e.g. the C pocket reference from O'Reilly), but that's really everything. The rest depends only on your skills.

happy coding!

tokai

Thanks guys..
The most of the books you recomend I have them already.
I have expierence with C++, and when I tried to compile my own C++(win32) programs I get a lot of errors...
I 'm not a C guru so I need some practice.
I would like to find more info about
1.MUI 3.9
2.SDL libraries
3.TCP/IP

C++ code doesn't work with the C compiler in the SDK. You need to replace 3 files from the older one.

On a second thought, maybe just installing a newer gcc should be enough?

jupp3,
I'm trying to compile with g++ compiler from the MOS SDK. Are the libraries then broken ?
How can I make it work?
Actually if it works I dont have to to do many changes on my programs (for people who are interesting to know what for programs: they are just scientific programs[command line] with use of COM1 line [ROBOT-ARMS]&[GPS Antennas].

Innoidea has a huge function repository:

Look into here for basic SDL documentation.

GCC 2.95.4 C/C++ compiler works fine for me.(MOS SDK GCC 2.95.3)

Well, wanted to install gcc 2.95.4 today, but was traped in
decompressing probs (I am highly uncomfortable with all those non
lha/lzx/zip formats due to my computer history).
I tried to decompress the tar.bz2 first with gg:bin/bunzip2 -d and the
resulting tar archive (17 264 640 bytes md5:
110fb895c4603f1f7a21dac376b7cb0) with gg:bin/tar -x but nothing
happend.

Anyone a hint what's wrong..?

Use "tar -xf archive.tar" to extract it.

Thanks, that did it - I guess I should have read the --help output
more carefully...

Someone should put up together all informations about contributing to MorphOS as developers are not giving out any relevant informations ... f.e. see statement Attention Software ... "Also we tried to contact several MOS developers to ask for a possible solution, like radeon 3D drivers for MorphOS, but without any luck :(." ... and they are far not the only ones who needed dev. support.
