AmigaOS cross compiler for Linux / MacOSX / Windows

It took me countless hours to put this fragile software together. The time I can spend to develop this project is limited. If you want binary builds, better support for Windows or any other feature, please incentivize me by leaving a tip.

Short description: Cross toolchain build script for AmigaOS m68k and ppc targets. Supported host platforms are Linux, MacOSX and Windows (with MSYS2).

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 2.9.1 (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

... 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 or Homebrew 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
  1. Wait for the result :-)

  2. (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
