Help porting to Amiga.. Again
OK, here's another request.
I am familiar with Amiga programming, but very little from other platforms. Lately I have been doing a lot of PIC programming, and I'd really like to get those tools working on the Amiga.
The source to GPUtils-0.13.6 is available, and is written for the (or a) GCC compiler. Ports exist for windoze, Mac, and I believe ?nix as well.
So I feel brave, and I download the source. Yup, unix paths throughout. Instead of makefiles, they have makefile.am and makefile.in, apparently for automake. I seek out automake, and found a python script that should work. I have python installed, but I can't seem to get it all together.
Between Python, automake, unix pathways, and no existing amiga port, I can't even quite get anything to make (or gmake, either)
I read the docs for make, and I see that vpath and VPATH may be able to help. I spent two hours on those alone, but couldn't get them to work for me. They MIGHT throw a requester asking for an odd volume name, but at no point could I get them to actually find a file there.
This is all a bit challenging. Not to be defeated, I ended up writing simple makefiles from scratch, and changing all the source #include statements to complete pathnames. What a pain. But I was able to get a few files to compile. This is NOT a reasonable way to go forward. It wasn't too long until my simple makefile wasn't getting everything done.
It shouldn't be this hard. Really!
All of that may be amusing, but I'm trying to show that I'm not just asking someone to do it for me. If it really is as difficult as it has been so far, I give up. I'll keep doing my PIC development on windows.
If there is something I'm missing, perhaps some tool or method I can use to get me past some of these problems, please let me know! I'd prefer to do all my work on the AmigaOne if possible.
Yes, I have read (spots?) porting guide. I tried what I could understand, that was not enough.
Any suggestions would be welcomed,
LyleHaze

Hi Helge,
I was joking, but I really hate to see someone leave, as Amiga is very, very special, no matter how good the other systems are, they are IMPERSONAL in an indescribable way. Also, they have other drawbacks as well. Very disgusting drawbacks, in fact.
Believe it or not Amiga IS rebounding and THAT'S NOT SPIN!!!!!
Look at NatAmi60 at least before you call it a day! It's the Amiga dream come true. Now I'm split between to poles,  .
Seriously, it's been and always HAS been, anything they CAN do, we could do better, although as there are way less developers where we are (and no HW!), that's gone unfulfilled thus far.....
The saw applies, "remember when computing was fun?"
HW is coming soon, I believe.

Hey, where is that "lob virtual tomatoes" button so I can fix that Mikey_C but good???

Anyway,
HOW COOL IS THAT?????!!
OS4Depot and Aminet are so excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm working on something too. Hehehe. (It's trivial though.)

Think I'm going to wait until the CDs start shipping, and more importantly I have some DOSH !!
