Hi,

Thanks for the update, I copied the Development files from the DVD image, to the toot of my Net Book via Samba,

All works great now.

Maybe I should be writing programs in the Linux environment and cross compiling them, but I like to program on the machine I am using.

I find that if they are small programs it's actually easier to do the compiling and testing inside AROS rather than using a cross compiler on Linux.

That way you can get several iterations of testing, editing and compiling with much less file transfers from Linux.

The only drawback is the lack of a good text editor with syntax highlighting for editing inside AROS. So far I've tried Annotate but the syntax highlighting was not satisfying. It's almost like it was an afterthought with the makers of Annotate rather than the star of the show.

If you use AROS hosted wouldn't it ease the process?

I am not a developer, but I believe that using Native AROS you can verify everything on the fly without doing file passes, of course on AROS there are no qualitative and fast tools, but for what little compilation experience I had, I found it very convenient to do it directly on Native AROS.

I guess everyone has its own preference. But in basics you are correct.

You can edit, cross-compile on the host (and use whatever the host is able to provide, e.g. browsing, graphics/audio editing etc) and when doing that inside an AROS directory the only thing left is to actually execute that what you just compiled (and even that can be automated).

I prefer it mostly because all relevant documentation is also easier accessible for me on the host, not to mention vcs (git/svn etc).

Miker have you tried EdiSyn, it seems to me to be the best Editor for development !
