Hello.. Can anyone offer any help or advice or detailed sets of instructions on
how to install the PDC compiler OR the NorthC compiler??? I have had PDC for a
long time and have spend God knows how many hours trying to get it to compiler
a program (never can get it to recognize libraries and/or includes). It always
comes up with things like "unknown symbol _printf"or whatever I was trying to
do. I have the Amiga developer's disks with amiga.lib and all, I just don't
know what to do with the files.

As for NorthC, the damn thing is SUPPOSED to work by itself... it comes with
very explicit instructions for creating programs, and I get the same old
yarn about _printf (after some messing around I got it to work until the linker
but then it complained about _main).

I am sorry if this seems vague. I obviously haven't done much amiga programming
but I've done plenty of C programming on other machines and would love to get
either one of the beasties working, and am getting very frustrated with how
the instructions for both these programs make it look reeeal easy yet I can't
even make either one give me the time of day. (figuratively). Any help would be
very much appreciated....    As for PDC, I got it from FTP; I tried to buy the
original disks from the author on two different occasions but once my letter
was returned, the next time I didn't get it back (don't remember if the check
was cashed or not) but I never got any program in the mail either... I don't
know if there is any advantage to having the original distribution disks over
the archives I got but point is moot anyway. Thanks,
