Just found an amiga distro online called "Coffin", which seems to be a distro for Amiga machines equipped with Vampire cards. I downloaded it and used it on win UAE and I noticed that a lot of the things on that distro were very similar to what you find in the Pimiga distro for RPI.

Are those 2 connected? I get that most of the stuff for amiga is fundamentally stock at this point (like the whdload sets), although I found the same video and sound file too; so I thought that maybe the 2 were related; they also use the same underlying OS (3.9 from what I can tell). Does anyone have any insight about the author of the coffin distro?

Can’t find this online anywhere, can anyone suggest a source?

HI Team me again.

So after getting ASM 1.02 running, and generally sorting out my WinUAE setup (correct KS1.3, two HDDs added and booting from them, etc) I want to get my C workspace setup now.

I found the prb28 ASM/VBCC extension in VSCode and got that setup. Followed the instructions for setting up VBCC and got it to work just fine, can put a HelloWorld to the CMD line, etc.

However, now I have run into an issue I cannot get past. Dam libraries and header files. I'm trying to include exec.h to follow along with Wei-Ju Wu's Tutorials and I get all sorts of dependency errors and I'm chasing myself in circles trying to fix the issue.

Here are the pictures: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

So it first said it needed to the include path of where exec.h is, which is fine it automatically detected that and I added it, now it's telling me some of the dependencies of exec.h cannot be found namely types.h. I have NDK39 so I just grabbed it from there. Now it wants another, so i find that and add it, and then another. eventually, i just copy the entire include_h from the theNDK39 folder and put it in the VBCC workspace example where my other headers are, and bang it's happy, bit of a duplicate seeing how 3/4 of these headers are already in the files in the workspace but whatever, but finally it's working and i try the classic waitmouse and run.

Nope.

Now it just says "exec.h cannot be found" AGAHH!!!!

Now i am stuck and IDK what to do, it's been an incredibly frustrating journey trying to get a C compiler to work.

I should mention i also have got GCC installed as well, i followed the instructions from (https://github.com/bebbo/amiga-gcc) but idk what to do after so i left it.

​

Thoughts?

Given that PC owners have to constantly upgrade their hardware to allow compatibility with modern games. For that, also see console owners (PS3/4/5 etc.)

Could the Amiga have kept up with these or were they considered from the start, more niche machines?

Curious to know if anyone tried and if it did work. The commercial material for 3.2 says that you can install it on top of an existing 3.1 installation, and ClassicWB is 3.1; so it should technically work?
