Software : : C/C++ update for Cubic IDE
Posted By: Dietmar. on 2006/6/17 13:30:33
Cubic users can download a new version of the C package. What's new: latest version of vbcc integrated, all recent MorphOS SDK updates integrated (gcc, binutils, libnix, libgcc), syntax highlighting updated, support for cross compilation between OS3/MorphOS/OS4, OS4 SDK updated with latest lua, abc-shell and make.

Link: Download C/C++ package

Installation notice for MorphOS users:
- gcc 2.95.4 has been removed from the package because 2.95.3 is newer (sic).

Installation notices for OS4 development:
- You have to download the full 51.22 SDK [153 MB] yourself and place it in the contributions folder before installation. If you don't, the package won't install at all (under OS4) or not offer cross compilation (elsewhere).
- This release of the C/C++ package can not use an installed OS4 SDK, you have to let Cubic install the SDK. In return, you get better and cleaner integration than was previously possible.

This is a beta release: I have tested the OS3 and MorphOS side but the OS4 side is entirely untested.

    What does this do over the standard MOS SDK? Can this be used in place of it? If I install it will it work if I havent ever installed the MOS SDK?

    It is the standard SDK with exactly the same files and no additional features. There is a tiny difference in the sense that Cubic's installation of the SDK does not use softlinks (it needs a bit more space on disk).

    The advantage over the original SDK installation comes from other aspects: upgrades integrated, more compilers, more targets, more SDKs, integration with Cubic's system of compiler activation.

    If you want to use Cubic IDE, you have to use it, there is no way to use existing compiler and SDK installations outside the "devkits:" path.

    If you have an installed SDK elsewhere, it will be ignored and you will be asked to take its lines out of user-startup. If that SDK contains a customized "gg:" which you want to continue to use, copy it over the Cubic-installed SDK and hope for the best.

    Note however that only "gg:usr/" and "devkits:compilers/gcc/morphos/user/" survive C/C++ upgrades: You must put all customizations into these folders or the next upgrade will delete them.

    So it sounds like this is lot better and easier to use then the offical one. I just wanted to make sure I can use current MorphOS application sources with it and compile native MorphOS apps like I could when i had the official SDK installed (its no longer installed)
