For lots of reasons, programming in C (and other programming languages) is fun on an Amiga/AmigaOS. Below are some stuffs that could be possibly of interest to someone else . The idea is to use a PC, running Windows and Cygwin, to develop, compile, and test Classic AmigaOS programs, using WinUAE, before transferring them to a Classic Amiga:

• Developing a Keymap for your favorite keyboards;
• Cross-compiling from x86/Windows/Cygwin to m68k/AmigaOS/IXEmul;
• Installing the Geek Gadgets, partly used by IXEmul;
• Using Eclipse to develop and cross-compile C programs.

Then, you can do lots of cool stuffs, such as:

• Forking processes using IXEmul;
• Recompiling/porting THTTPd v2.21b + PHP v4.2.3 for AmigaOS.
