- Well, it doesn't look like the amiga faq covers this. I suppose the c faq
- might..
-
- anyway, I've just installed SAS/C 6.56 (bought a used 6.51 and patched it).
-
- I'm feeling really quite lost with all these include files. there are so
- MANY of them.
-
- I've had NDK 3.1 thanks to some magazine cover disks for a couple of years
- now. Should I replace the SAS/C 6.56 includes with the NDK3.1 ones, or
- would this be dangerous?
-
- I've added pools.lib from the setpatch 4.16 archive, and have told the
- compiler to link with it before everything else.
-
- I've also read the "compiler options" section of the manual, and have set
- all the things that sound handy. (e.g. telling the compiler to use my FPU
- and 68030).
-
- Since I'm (currently) writing only for my own consumption, I might as well
- ignore the ANSI stuff and only use the amiga versions of everything. (The
- Guru book, for instance, says it's usually bad to mix the two)
-
- Where should I put third party includes. I've copied all the MUI includes
- etc. into the sensible places in my includes directory, but I don't know if
- this is what I'm expected to do. It seems more convenient than leaving 3rd
- party includes scattered all over the place and having to specify exact
- paths for them all the time.
-
- Should I construct a new GST to reflect my new setup? I was asked if I'd
- like a big GST during the 6.50 setup, and I said yes. I get the impression
- I may need to re-create it, but I'm really not sure.
-
- All I've done so far is compile some example programs (which seem mostly
- amiga style) and write some ansi-style programs which print lists of
- numbers. Is there an amiga C mailing list? I'll go and find the C faq...

- Man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
