So, with the fracturing of the Amiga community between Amiga (Classic), Amiga OS4.x, MorphOS and AROS, it seems that new programs need to be ready to provide a build of the code for each platform out there for best performance. Both OS4.x and MorphOS can run classic software as long as it doesn’t hit the old custom chipset (if it does, then emulation is in order). AROS also can run via emulation or needs a recompile for the target platform.

Anyway, making a cross-compatible development system has never been easy. The Hollywood development software was one popular way, but carries a lot of heavy software to run that older systems may not be able to handle well. I haven’t tested AmiDevCPP enough to comment on how easy it is to make multiple target binaries.

Just today, I saw something that is not only an easy way to build for multiple systems at once, but also provides a more modern-style IDE development environment. It seems to be based on the Pascal language so keep that in mind, but it does offer drag-and-drop GUI tools and easy property management.

Here’s a video of it in action:

This is done via a VMWare linux environment, fully setup and ready to download and start experimenting.
