Thanks Havie - I've got the AREXX working 100% - notepad++ to Blitz is perfect, it's the WinUAE side thats a problem. Even worse - running blitz 2.1 on my real amiga, it just software fails out the door.
I have a trapdoor 68030 accelerator and mem expansion and run using classicWB - so I will try a disk version of the base editor and work my way up from there. Wish I knew why it crashes so much. |

My Winuae setup is the same as Havie's. I've not messed with the debugger aspect yet, so can't expand on that experience. Saying that, I am planning on using the Win 10 laptop as my main Amiga gamedev box so will let you know how I get on. IMO, the best thing you can do is start on Winuae with a basic A1200 setup and take it from there. I'm also running ClassicWB so it's certainly not that. Oh, check you have the latest Winuae too, version 4.3 I think. Maybe you have an older version? |

So to follow on, I had initial issues whereby np++ would tokenise, pass the code into rexx, update ted then compile and run. But then it would come up with Volume System is write protected. After some faffing about, it turned out it was because I had the .hdf system drive in the Winuae folder in Program files, which write protected it! Moving it out to the c: drive solved that problem. However, each time I do a build that runs the script in np++, it does everythign as before, but doesn't update the code inside Ted and doesn't run and compile. It only works the first time. Why would it work once and never again?? I had this problem before but don't think I ever solved it. Does anyone else have any idea why that would happen?
To clarify something.. The amiga folder is in Google drive, as are the source bb2 and win bb2 files as well as the batch script file that does the tokenisation etc. I even matched the configs of Winuae with the same settings and config filenames between the desktop pc and laptop, yet on the desktop it can rebuild and rebuild no problems, but on the win 10 laptop it only builds once and never again.... Same .hdf system file, same source files, same configs... hmmm.. The reason I did it like this is so that I can dev on my desktop or laptop if I'm out and access the same system and files for easier game dev on the go..

Ok I figured it out. I was missing the last step in the Winuae config whereby you add "serial_translate=crlf_cr" to the config file manually. It's easy to miss and should be made bold in my opinion, as this caused me to be unable to build code more than once.

OK - I'm all working now - I've got a 68030 with 68882 FPU and MMU.
It's really odd though - every single compile it complains about not having enough object memory and eventually crashes. I did have LOADNEW in my REXX script but I've since updated to LOAD and it made no difference. I'm sure I'm not getting multiple copies opening. (I was with LOADNEW) |
