3.4 Things that don't come with the AROS distribution

Yeah, there are some things which are not in this archive for this or that reason. Here we go:
  1. The Amiga system header files are missing for obvious copyright reasons. You can use the files which come with your C-Compiler (DICE, SAS/C, StormC++ or Maxxon C++) or the ones from the Amiga Developer CD 1.1 (that's what I did). The Developer CD is available at for DM 25.- (about $15) plus P&P. The CD contains all includes you need and furthermore you can find valuable information on it like: The autodocs, the examples for the various developer disk sets and the Rom Kernel Reference Manuals (RKRMs), several tools to help to develop code and more. At the price, it's a bargain.
  2. Linux 2.0 or better for Intel CPUs (1.2.13 might work, but I haven't tried and won't do it).
  3. GNU make 3.74 or better - A real make is neccessary and this is one (use "make --version" to find out which you have).
  4. GCC 2.7.0 or better (2.7.2 is recommended because of the magnitude of bugs fixed) (use "gcc --version" to find out which you have).
  5. GAS/as from binutils 2.7 or better.
  6. GDB, the GNU debugger. It is no great help in our project because we do nasty things with the stack, but better than nothing anyway.
  7. GAWK to generate a couple of files (I have 3.0.0, but any version should work).
