GCC is indeed the best compiler for the code it produces, but it's slow as hell, takes too much resources and not straightforward to setup. |

After a few decades I'm also looking at getting back in to Amiga-coding ( m68k, OS 1.2 - 3.9 ) . Having examined the options it seems to me like Vbcc and Devpac would be a good choice. ( I want to code hardware directly, demos/games and such ). And cross-compiling option from windows/linux/osx is probably nice to have ( although I have already set up a nice A4000 setup in WinUAE 3.4.0, which is awesome(!) but sadly seems to crash quite often in my Windows 10 ).
Also, I would like to code my program logic in Lua, which I think is awesome little language. I wonder has anyone ever managed to compile Lua with Vbcc? |

Yes, Lua shouldn't be a problem.

First post on these forums, so sorry it had to be a slight necro, but I was asking myself the exact same question as the OP, so here I am.
So it seems to be down between vbcc and sas/c. I'll definitely be checking out vbcc, but how can I (legally) obtain the latest version of sas/c? Can't seem to find it anywhere.. |

You can't buy SAS/C for the Amiga from SAS anymore. You'd need to buy a second hand copy on one of the popular forums or auction sites

Gcc6 needs a lot of RAM to run on real hardware

I've considered all kinds of stuff, including StormC, since I happen to have the Developer CD 2.1. I've read a lot of good recommendations for especially SAS/C, and also vbcc. Just trying to narrow it down.. |

It would be awesome if bebbo could make a new GCC 6 install for real Amigas but that is probably a ways away and it would likely be too heavy for most hardware. |

vbcc is probably a better choice, especially its development might now probably boost as its being sponsored by ic. though the problem is that many open sources may expect some set of features available with gcc, binutils and other similar packages that may not be available with vbcc. |

I think the CD provides StormC v3, so I'll probably stay away from that, then.. |

StormC v3 is still usable but has a few known bugs which will never be fixed. |

They'll be small learning projects for now for sure, and I do have some Gb's of storage available. Support for C++ would be nice, though, so hopefully I can get my hands on a SAS/C installation as well..
