Now that my MOS system is configured (thanks to help of the guys @ Mzone ofcourse!), I'd like to try writing some little proggies.
I know some languages (a little bit of Java & C, 68k asm, Basic, Cobol...) but I'm absolutely new about gcc that seems to be the standard tool to write applications for MOS.
Could someone please tell me some links where I can find a nice guide for an absolute beginner?
Looking @ MOS SDK it's a little bit confusing for me, there are very little help files for a lame like me . It's all a little bit too Unixish
Thanks and Ciao!!

Look at GG:guide/gcc.guide,
here: http://mdc.morphos.net/
and the Commodore Autodocs and RKRM's are mandatory.

For compilation simply type "gcc -noixemul hello.c -o hello" for instance.

If you're thinking of C++ instead of C (I guess since you know Java, you will favour C++), the g++ within the sdk is broken and must be replaced with the files of an older (?) gcc/g++ package.
Somewhere on mdc.morphos.net it is described but speaking of myself I've been too lazy to check it out yet, I just checked that g++ is broken (shame onme that I am so lazy...).

C is better anyway.

C is backward!

I'm coding something rather cool, and I'm doing it in C++ on Windows (I've written myself a simple SAL) but I'll be wanting to try some stuff out in MOS soon, so does anyone know where this working C++ compiler is for MOS?

Cheers, Smithy

should do the trick. but as i said already i haven't checked it out yet myself (should take this as an opportunity to do it now...)

Hi Zylesea,

I might be being thick or missing something obvious, but I can't find anything related to a C++ compiler on the above page!

On this page https://morph.zone/modules/MorphOS/development.php it has a link to the Geekgadgets stuff for PPC. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that C++ works with the GeekGadgets files, but the link on there is broken.

Argh!! Is there a working C++ compiler anywhere for MorphOS?!!?

Stay away from templates, the MorphOS SDK is using GCC 2.95.3.

The g++ within the SDK works but it just wont compile everything (can't remember which things were broken).

With the link i mentioned on the other thread, stl stuff (heavily using templates) seems to work.
At least I could use vector list and string classes and some algorithms without any problem.

That sounds great, I have to try that one. Too bad GCC does not come with a working hash_map though, and STLPort requires GCC 3. Still, if it works with the GCC STL implementation it should be pretty useful.

templates and all work fine. You just need another C++ (from CISC). Just ask on MDC or on #morphos.

PS. somebody definetely should put some info somewhere about that.

I would call a g++ which is not able to use <iostream.h> seriously broken.
Well, have to try it with Cisc's Version

/me wonders why that file is not added to mdc as well. Or some kind of "official" hint how to get a proper g++.

@ Tui

Took a wrong link

I think 2.95 follows the old standard but the new one dictates that you should use <iostream> and not <iostream.h>. The compiler should give you a warning if you use the old .h-style.
Everything in iostream, STL etc should also bee in the namespace "std" because it is included in the official C++ standard.

I know that there is this new standard which cancels out the ".h" extension. But the sdk g++ fails not on "iostrem.h" or just "iostream" but on both. It's not capable of opening the c++ includes. Some softlink/assign (??? - whatever, i am not an expert in these things..) or so is broken, i don't know. currently i don't sit in front of my Peg so i can't check the error message.
The sdk as is comes just doesn't support C++ correctly. But it seems that Cisc's version does so and i will try it somewhen these days.

Ok, I understand. I will try it as well as soon as I have time to boot into MorphOS. I think the iostream-includes are supposed to be in /gg/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-morphos/2.95.3/include/g++ or something similar to that. Unless they have configured GCC to keep them in a non-standard directory.

BTW, GoldED Studio comes with GCC 3.3 for m68k/AmigaOS in case anyone require 3.x and can do without PPC-support.

I don't remember that the sdk's gcc had this problem. Anyway, with Cisc's gcc, both inclusion standards work.

GCC 3.4 just got released for linux and it is a huge improvment in speed and stability....
