A lot of people would like to try to program in C/C++ for the Amiga platform and the AmigaOS 4.x, but they do not know where to start. It is not difficult to begin writing your first program, but you have to know what you need and which applications are there that could help you.
Every platform has very good and useful applications that cost some money. There are also applications that are totally free, which can help you at your first steps in programming. I’m going to show you the totally free way to start, by recommending applications that I use.
The programs you will need are the following:
- An Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- The AmigaOS 4.x Software Development Kit (SDK)
- A Graphical User Interface (GUI) Builder
- An Autodoc reader
- an editor, where you can write your sources,
- it can use available compilers to compile your sources,
- a way to manage your projects,
- a debugger
- the GNU C/C++ compiler, commonly known as gcc version 4.2.4,
- documentation files and Autodocs
- example sources,
- system-level include files
- and many other files that might be needed
- Screens and windows
- Reaction gadgets
- Menus
- Requests
- Locale catalogs
- Function macros and install scripts
- Set tooltypes, includes and libraries that your program will use
- Declare variables
- and many more
