GFA Basic compiler

christianlucio · 21 February 2016, 19:33

I have s strange problem with the GFA compiler: if I start the menu (MenuX) of the compiler via cli and choose the current path before everything works fine. If I start it via the workbench the MenuX does not find the compiler and linker. It seems it does not recognize the current path via the workbench. I tried this on the emaulator and on a real Amiga, with 3.51 and 3.52, on a disk (even booting from it) and from hd but never it worked; only if you choose current path and start it via the hell.Any idea ?Many thanks in advance.

Try writing a small shell-script that CDs to the correct path and runs the program, then add a Project icon for the script and use f.ex. IconX as the default tool.

This could work, I may try but I still would have the problem if used via floppy. My question is, does no one hav this problem, too. As I have it on real hardware and emulation ? Also I ask (as I am curious) what the problem might be?Looking Forward to any further comments.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has an adf of GFA basic compiler, picture of the disk http://www.amigafuture.de/album_page.php?pic_id=21963

It was available for sale in the UK around 1990-1992 for £24.95, if I remember rightly GFA v3.5 interpreter was about £39.95. I have the interpreter (version 3.5) but would very much like the compiler to complete my collection and help with my endless tinkering.

Many thanks!
Winston

Thanks but I can't see the actual compiler amongst those files only the interpreter. So if anyone else can help I'd appreciate it very much.

"GFA-BASIC v3.52 (1990)(GFA Systemtechnik)(DE)(Disk 2 of 2).zip"
has the compiler, MenuX.
the disk has a problem with some bad block, you can just "cancel" them away, menux starts.
maybe other parts of the disk affected. not sure here.

I stand corrected the compiler is there as you say it is. It's the German version, so time to brush up on some German
