**Short description:** Cross toolchain build script for AmigaOS m68k and ppc targets. Supported host platforms are Linux, MacOSX and Windows (with [MSYS2](https://msys2.github.io/)).

### Overview

**amigaos-cross-toolchain** project provides an easy way to build AmigaOS 3.x (m68k) and ppc AmigaOS 4.x (ppc) target toolchain in a Unix-like environment.

Build process should produce following set of tools for **m68k-amigaos** target:

 * gcc 2.95.3
 * g++ 2.95.3
 * libstdc++ 2.10
 * binutils 2.14 (assembler, linker, etc.)
 * libnix 2.2 (standard ANSI/C library replacement for AmigaOS)
 * libm 5.4 (provides math library implementation for non-FPU Amigas)
 * AmigaOS headers & libraries & autodocs (for AmigaOS 3.9)
 * vbcc toolchain (most recent release) including vasm, vlink and C standard library
 * IRA: portable M68000/010/020/030/040 reassembler for AmigaOS hunk-format
   executables, libraries, devices and raw binary files
 * vda68k: portable M68k disassembler for 68000-68060, 68851, 68881, 68882
 * ~~[amitools](https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/blob/master/README.md#contents) with [vamos](https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/blob/master/doc/vamos.md) AmigaOS emulator which is proven to run SAS/C~~

... and following set of tools for **ppc-amigaos** target:

 * gcc 4.2.4
 * g++ 4.2.4
 * binutils 2.18 (assembler, linker, etc.)
 * newlib
 * clib 2.2
 * AmigaOS headers & libraries & autodocs (for AmigaOS 4.1)

**Note:** *Patches are welcome!*

### Downloads

There are no binary downloads provided for the time being. I do as much as possible to make the toolchain portable among Unix-like environments. Following platforms were tested and the toolchain is known to work for them:

 * Windows 7 SP1 32-bit (MSYS2 2.6.0, gcc 5.3.0)
 * Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 32-bit (gcc 5.4.0)
 * Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit (gcc 5.4.0) *Requires gcc-multilib package, and i386 libraries!*
 * MacOS X 10.9.5 (MacPorts - Apple's clang-600.0.57)

### Compiling

*Firstly… you should have basic understanding of Unix console environment, really* ;-)

#### Prerequisites

You have to have following packages installed in your system:

 * GNU gcc 5.x **32-bit version!** or Clang
 * Python 2.7.x
 * libncurses-dev
 * python-dev 2.7
 * GNU make 4.x
 * perl 5.22
 * git
 * GNU patch
 * GNU gperf
 * GNU bison

*For MacOSX users*: you'll likely need to have [MacPorts](http://www.macports.org) or [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) installed in order to build the toolchain.

#### How to build?

**Warning:** *Building with `sudo` is not recommended. I'm not responsible for any damage to your system.*

Follow steps listed below:

1. Fetch *amigaos-cross-toolchain* project to your local drive:  

```
    # git clone git://github.com/cahirwpz/amigaos-cross-toolchain.git
    # cd amigaos-cross-toolchain
```

2. Run `toolchain-m68k` or `toolchain-ppc` script (with `--prefix` option to specify where to install the toolchain). Note, that the destination directory must be writable by the user. 

```
    # ./toolchain-m68k --prefix=/opt/m68k-amigaos build
```

3. Wait for the result :-)

4. *(optional)* Install additional SDKs (e.g. AHI, CyberGraphX, Magic User Interface, etc.):

```
    # ./toolchain-m68k --prefix=/opt/m68k-amigaos install-sdk ahi cgx mui
```

#### What if something goes wrong?

If the build process fails, please write me an e-mail.  I'll try to help out. Don't forget to put into e-mail as much data about your environment as possible! 
It's **vitally important** to send me a full log from build process. You can capture it by redirecting output to a file with following command:

```
    # ./toolchain-m68k build 2>&1 | tee build.log
```

... but remember to cleanup your build environment beforehand with:

```
    # rm -rf .build-m68k
```
