Hi,
thanks for checking out my tool. However, as you have already discovered, it's not really designed to do system programming. It just supports enough of Kickstart to get demos/intros running.
For your purposes I suggest checking out bebbo's amiga-gcc project. It comes with full amiga.lib support.
I guess I should make that clearer in the README...

I did some tests, opened a few windows and wrote Hello World as one should, after some changes and added includes (like missing rexx if you include alib_proto.h) it worked.

I know I know, I should probably abandon this right now but how do I even add missing includes? Failing with compile hello world: 'fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory'

thank you

You don't ;) Standard C runtime library is not supported. You have to use the AmigaOS library functions for everything, e.g. dos.library for file i/o and text output.
Have a look at the included template, it shows how to print text to the console.

Ah ok, of course, makes sense.
Many thanks again for this toolchain and effort. Thank you

just to be clear, if I avoid including any of the header files as listed here in the c standard library I should be ok ?

[BartmanAbyss]

Yep.

[0wen101]

Perfect. Lastly what is the best resource, book or otherwise, in your opinion, for learning all about Amiga OS library functions in C ? Have a great weekend

Check out the Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manuals.

Jumping in, hope you do not mind.

I remember I had RKRM back in the days, it was really good, but I think I also had Libs and Devices or named something similar, that might also fit the bill....
