Geek Gadgets

Hello!

I am looking for a Geek Gadgets CD that has a GCC version of 2.95 at least. The gcc of the Amiga Gadgets in the zone is at 2.7. I am looking for the full ADE or a more recent snapshot than 1997 (which is the one in the zone). Or perhaps has any idea on what FTP server, or where to get it from? Alas, back2theroots is dead and the other sites link to dead mirrors...

Thanks!

Thanks. That will do. Some things are missing such as X11 (emacs, etc...) but I've found a more complete archive on some FTP server:

Code:

lan.oxfordinspire.co.uk

which seems to contain updates till 10 February 1999 and also with gcc 2.95 and optionally gcc 3.X

I guess I will extract them on top of each other, ending with the ADE from AmiNET that you posted.

is there a reason why I am always getting Program failed (error: #8000000B) when trying to run utilities like "make"? I also got similar from other utilities... I do have an FPU. MaxTransfer is also set properly to 0x1fe00... I am using just the referenced ADE distribution from AmiNET.

Ok, solved the issue above with the "#8000000B" that would occur on every tool from ADE / GG. It was due to the ixemul / ixnet libraries. Apparently, Genesis / AmiTCP did not complain at all and everything worked fine but it seems that they weren't entirely right. I just replaced them and it is working smooth now.

There are versions of make which don't use ixemul. There are also versions of make which are newer and are sometimes required for compiling more modern programs. GCC 2.95.3 and its tools are old even if it is good. Using ixemul is a kludge which may add to problems. Good luck.
