Programming Amiga

For lots of reasons, programming in C (and other programming languages) is fun on an Amiga/AmigaOS, although documentation is sometimes limited. I recently discovered the source-code usage examples aggregator Hot Examples, which provides many examples of Amiga C code, like for SendIO()... Very handy to learn from our peers!

Below are some things that could possibly be of interest to someone else :

• Developing a Keymap for your favourite French-Canadian keyboards;
• Cross-compiling from x86/Windows/Cygwin to m68k/AmigaOS/IXEmul;
  • Building libamiga.a for the cross-linker;
• Installing the Geek Gadgets, partly used by IXEmul;
• Using Eclipse to develop and cross-compile C programs;
• Tracking and fixing memory-related problems in C programs.

I develop mostly in C with Cubic IDE and vbcc for the coding,  GadToolsBox for the GUI design, and SimpleCat for the internationalisation.

The last three changes:
