Windows installer for VBCC tool chain

[tolkien]

Could you uploud it to the zone Asman?

[Asman]

@tolkien - No problem, In The Zone.

[tolkien]

Thanks so much mate!

Hi

I can't see it in The Zone, perhaps it expired?

Any chance of a re-upload?

Or is there another link for a 64 bit version?

Thanks!

[clenched]

Maybe this is it.

In The Zone you can find version which I use. vbcc-2020.07.22.bin.7z. Enjoy.

while the path is working for the binaries, I have errors for the includes.
any ideas why.?

vbcc V0.9f (c) in 1995-2017 by Volker Barthelmann
vbcc code-generator for m68k/ColdFire V1.11 (c) in 1995-2017 by Volker Barthelmann
>#include <exec/types.h>
error 248 in line 17 of "gelbobs.c": file 'exec\types.h' not found

#include <exec/types.h>

I don't get it because the include path is on the path env variable.

I never used vbcc under Windows myself, but according to the vc-frontend source you have to define a VCCFG environment variable under Windows, which points to vbcc's config directory. There it will find the default vc.cfg (and others).

And are you aware that vbcc doesn't come with AmigaOS headers? You have to install them yourself and add the path to vc.cfg.

[kamelito]

Thanks I’ll try that. I know about the headers but they’re included with Leffman installer.

[kamelito]

it should work but doesn't the doc says :

vc needs a config file to know how to call all the translation phases (compiler, assembler,
linker). Unless a different file is specified using the +-option, it will look for a file vc.config
(vc.cfg for DOS/Windows).

On DOS/Windows it will search in the current directory.
If the config file was not found in the default search-paths and an environment variable
$VBCC is set, vc will also look in $VBCC/config.

as VBCC is set it should look for $VBCC/config and find the vc.cfg.

I can see in procmonitor that the folder is found while filtering through the vbccm68k process

You're right, fortunately. So VCCFG is just an additional option.

BTW, to which env variable are you refering here? Where did you define the AmigaOS SDK include path? It should be attached to the first two lines (-cc and -ccv) of vc.cfg.

Does including vclib headers, like <stdio.h> work?

[kamelito]

I was was using it wrongly, I was using vbccm68k instead of vc. Sorry about that. I was using it like I use vasm68k.

[phx]

Ahh, ok!

You can do that, of course, but then you have to provide a lot of options and also do the assembling and linking manually.

I have download the Install-VBCC and What Windows IDE Should I used? Visual Studio?

[phx]

Not sure how much Visual Studio allows configuration and usage of foreign compilers. I have never used vbcc under Windows myself, but maybe I would have a look at VSCode, which seems to be a great free editor (although I'm usually suspicious regarding all Microsoft products ).

Otherwise I would just use any editor you like (Notepad++ ?) and a shell (windows console) to compile. For more complex projects a "make" program is recommended.

Thanks for that. VSCode seem to be light weight software compare to Visual studio 2019.
