Windows development suite with Amiga/68k crosscompiler
AmiDevCpp is based on the free development suite Dev-C++, but the generic compiler has been replaced with an AmigaOS crosscompiler. Thus, it becomes possible to develop and compile programs for the Amiga (m68k) while using the Windows environemt.

The integrated development suite offers a decent and mighty work tool (screen shot). With the packet system even beginners are able to install new includes and libraries.

Most packets also include examples which work instantly, even programmer newbies can make their first Amiga program without typing a single line of source code.

The development suite comes with a windows typical installer,which is multi lingual and includes a deinstaller, too.

Bug reports, critics and suggesions are most welcome if placed at the programmer board by amiga-news.de. (snx) (Translation: ub)

MorphOS: Software news up to 02.10.2005

DiskSpeed 4.9

DiskSpeed, the program for determining harddisk access speed, was ported from AROS to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.

Download: DiskSpeedPPC.lha (82 KB)

ezTCP 0.6

In the meantime, the PPC-native TCP/IP stack ezTCP by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is available in alpha version 0.6. The problem with domain names starting with a number was solved. Additionally, together with the separate usergroup.library, which is now ported as well, the use of programs based on the ixemul.library is also possible.

Download

usergroup.library 4.1

The usergroup.library was separated by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin from his TCP/IP stack project and serves solely compatibility purposes. It is merely required by programs based on the ixemul.library in interaction with the TCP/IP stack, even though Amiga operating systems represent only single user systems anyway.

Download

XDME 1.84

XDME concerns a texteditor that was ported to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.

Download: XDME-PPC.lha (1,4 MP)

XInvaders3D 1.3.6

XInvaders3D is a clone of the game Space Invaders (Screenshot) based on vector graphics, which was, likewise, ported to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.

Download: XInvaders3D.lha (94 KB) (snx) (Translation: cad)
