However, I don't feel good about it. I have nothingWhat do you mean? There is lots of software that compiles on a TT using gcc, and a great deal works even with pure-c, just for MiNT/XaAES atari might be too week.
There are larger programs than MiNT or XaAES that compile fine on a TT with Pure C or AHCC. The biggest program was A68G of Marcel vd Veer. http://www.xs4all.nl/~jmvdveer/algol.html It took AHCC about 20 minutes and produced a 650K executable. This is slow compared to supercomputers, but pretty fast compared to supercomputer software ported to Atari.
That's what I mean. I have no use for gcc for my own projects, I write them in plain ANSI C with the standard libraries. I'm using PureC for now, but will move to AHCC in the next few months.
On my todo list is compiling MiNT and XaAES. I probably start on MiNT 1.15.12 and XaAES2002. The first because it is the last stable release, the latter because it is a Pure C program and I know it. -- Groeten; Regards.
