For 68k Amiga, comes in a read-to-use package:

Thank you.
I've done a quick test and have some suggestions and found some bugs:

the makefiles do not work with windows' own for command, only with cygwin bash's one
could you include the vc frontend?
you should pay attention that gnu make is GPL licensed
maybe update the includes to NDK 3.9
shouldn't the cia and custom structures be declared as volatile in the minimal example?
the uninstaller does not reverse the env vars changes

Do you use the command line or have you embed vbcc in an IDE (AmiDevCpp)?

Thanks for the fast feedback, i've updated it regarding your suggestions so it should be fine now.

I also included the autodocs. vasm crashed when trying to compile the NDK 3.9 examples (like asyncio for example).

Command line.

New version released (Same url).

v0.8k:

- Fixed a bug in vbcc which caused a crash when -= or += operators were encountered (probably others combinations too).
- Using Amiga debug hunks in exe files allowing source files debugging with programs such as HiSoft Monam or (better) SAS-C CPR.
- Fixed a bug in vasm: it would output asm lines infos in debug hunk instead of the source ones.
- Makefile now automatically strip all debug datas if no debug infos are generated (via -g).
- Now automatically select the relevant math library according to the selected -fpu parameter.
- Added several examples coming from the Amiga C Encyclopedia.

v0.8l:

- Added a global makefile for all the examples.
- Fixed a bug in the compiler, such statement:

b = a / 50.0f - 15.87f;

was generated as:

fmove.l _a,fp0
fdiv.s #$42480000,fp0
fintrz.x fp0,fp1
fmove.l fp1,d0
moveq #15,d1
sub.b d0,d1
move.b d1,_b

instead of something like:

fmove.l _a,fp0
fdiv.s #$42480000,fp0
fsub.s #$417deb85,fp0
fintrz.x fp0,fp1
fmove.l fp1,d0
move.b d0,_b

v0.8m:

- Modified the make files to handle the mixing of assembly language files with C ones (beside the __asm() inline function), also added a small example about that.

hitchhikr · 28 September 2008, 01:07

v0.9:

- Vasm got promoted to the latest 1.3 version (modified vbcc according to this).
- Fixed a bug in vbcc involving odd aligned local variables which would generate exceptions on 68000 machines.
- Printf & scanf functions now support floating point arguments by default.
- Modified the libraries so the generated executables are now compatible with OS 1.x. (note that when linking programs with mieee.lib, the compiler is using math*.library files and there's some discrepancies in the output between the 1.x (v34) and more recent ones (around v37 which are more accurate)).
- Executables startup should be faster now especially on 68000 based machines.
- Toupper() & tolower() were broken.
- Cleaner and more flexible make scripts.
- Added the necessary make files and an example to create static libraries.

v0.9b:

- d0 register wasn't correctly restored when using __interrupt functions, leading to a crash.
- Added several examples: tagwindow/gadtools/tagscreen/dblbufintscreen & gameframework.

hello,
where you get the vbcc v0.9? on this site: http://www.compilers.de/vbcc.html there is the v0.8.

thanks

That's my own version, all bugs i found have been reported to the original creator and should be soon fixed in the official release, hopefully.

v0.9c:

- Vlink didn't store the sections memory attributes correctly.
- Modified all examples so they use full optimization switch
and temporary disabled a specific (bugged) loop optimization in vbcc.
- Fixed a recoverable alert in gadtools example.

And here is the MacOS X PPC version (made on 10.4.11), there's some instructions in the readme.txt:
