Compile problems with VBCC

[Yesideez]

Hi, been wanting to learn some variant of C on the Amiga for years, finally decided to and hit a problem.

Something like this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("Hello world\n");
}

I can compile that just fine with: vc helloworld.c -o helloworld

The problem comes when I try to use anything in proto/ instead of stdio.h

This program:

#include <proto/exec.h>
#include <proto/dos.h>

struct DosLibrary *DOSBase;

int main() {
  if (DOSBase=(struct DosLibrary *)OpenLibrary("dos.library",0)) {
    Write(Output(),"Hello world!\n",14);
    CloseLibrary((struct Library *)DOSBase);
  }
  return 0;
}

I try and compile using this: vc -sc -sd -O2 //targets/m68k-amigaos/lib/minstart.o helloworld.c -o helloworld -nostdlib

The error messages I get are contained within the attachment.

I've got the NDK3.9 includes installed.

Must be something wrong with your installation. For me it compiles without any errors.

2> ed helloworld.c
Work:Entwicklung/Sources
2> vc -sc -sd -O2 vbcc:targets/m68k-amigaos/lib/minstart.o helloworld.c -o helloworld -nostdlib
Work:Entwicklung/Sources
2> helloworld
Hello world!
Work:Entwicklung/Sources
2>

Do you cross-compile from a non-68k platform? Then try vc +aos68k instead of just vc. The default target always is the host platform.

I installed the package using the installer and installed the update which was just a case of copying two files over.

I tried compiling a program and it failed. I installed the 68mamigaos target and it compiled fine.

Should I have done somethign different?

Attachment is my directory structure.

I've fixed it!

Turned out to be an assign that was defined when SAS/C was installed. When I installed VBCC an assign it added into my bootup was this:

assign >NIL: vincludeos3: "include:" add

I needed to change it to this:

assign >nil: vincludeos3: Coding:NDK_3.9/Include/include_h add

Thanks for helping - would probably have been a lot later to realise my install wasn't quite correct had you not have pointed it out

NEVER install in Novice mode!! Nothing!

[Yesideez]

I didn't.

[thomas]

Then you didn't read the text when it asked you where the OS includes are.

[Yesideez]

There was no default - nothing would compile. I had to install the target.

[thomas]

Sure. You have to install a binary and at least one target. During installation of the 68k target you were asked where the OS includes are. You should have pointed it to NDK_3.9/include/include_h, not to include: .

Anyway, if you install the 68k binary, the default target is aos68k. If you install the OS4 PPC binary, the default target is aosppc. And so on. If you didn't install the respective target you'll get a "no config file" error unless you select another target (one that is installed) by the +target option.

Ah!

When installing softwar via the installer I always go for expert mode
