    What is the best C++ compiler for MorphOS? Ideally an IDE with code colouring would be ideal, but not essential. I've searched Aminet for "C++" but most of the results I found were "experimental" or "untested". Which is the best?

    I'm going to have a bash at porting an OpenGL game to MorphOS. I assume the TinyGL library is what I want for this? I tried compiling the game under MacOnLinux and it fell over at commands like "SetColor", "SetAlpha" etc. I now know this is because OpenGL doesn't work under MOL. I assume there are equivalent commands in TinyGL?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The best compiler for MOS is GCC 2.95.3. MorphED is a programmer editor with syntax colouring and more programmer-oriented features (like text folding). You can get both for free from MorphOS Developer Connection.

    you can also join #morphos on Freenode (IRC) and meet there some of our talented and experienced coders.

    Thanks for the info. I'll download the MOS dev kit. Wish me luck :-)

    And don't forget the TinyGL sdk also.. not included by default in the MOS Dev SDK.

    Another point: SetColor() is a glut function, supported by TGL. But SetAlpha() doesn't exist (I've just checked the OpenGL red book: http://www.gamedev.net/download/redbook.pdf)
    And now... next project!

    So you finally gave up running OS4 under QEMU/PearPC and decided to code for MOS instead? Wise decision! :-P

    Thanks for the info. I have already found the TinyGL archive on Aminet. Is that what you mean by the TGL SDK?

    @quadpol
    How did you know? :-) A few people directed me to "locations" for OS4, but they were all disguised porn :lol:


    I know nothing about either BlitzMax, GL or C++ so the chances of this actually working are very slim :lol:

    I am *so* sorry that you didn't manage to download a pirated copy of OS4. ;-)
    Maybe you should have contacted Hyperion to complain?! :-P

    "Thanks for the info. I have already found the TinyGL archive on Aminet. Is that what you mean by the TGL SDK?"

    no, morphos' tinygl has almost nothing in common with the one on aminet. sdk is on MDC.
