Best C IDE & Compiler & Linker

RetrogamerRhys · 20 March 2020, 19:46

Newbie question here but Im just starting in C on the Amiga and I want to know which Editor/Compiler to use, which is best for a newbie and where I can get it i.e. is it on any cover disks. Im looking to develop software on the Amiga 500 itself at the moment and not via emulation. I've heard of Aztec C and Lattice C but hey seem to be compilers only. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
In case you do not know it, I leave you this link. Using Visual Code and when you go to test it opens the WinUAE.

It really depends how much RAM you have. Back in the day I had 1.5 MB and I used Aztec 3.6 with CED and all that was put in a RAD drive so I could recover in case of a crash. I guess SAS/C 6.58 and Aztec 5.x need more RAM.

There are many "Best C IDE & Compiler & Linker". Same as with religions.

I'm using a cross compiler toolchain together with Eclipse for C/C++.
