    C Compiler & 68k asm

    Thanks all for the replies! I had an experience (15 years ago) for coding gouraud shaded 3d engine for Amiga AGA with 030 and 060 processors. Yes, I did it on a similar way - drafting algos on C and optimizing that on 68k asm. Does anybody knows if Think C supports 020-030 opcodes in its...

    C Compiler & 68k asm

    My target is to try to code a simple 3D-engine with C-code framework, but all math routines should be written on 68k-asm.

    C Compiler & 68k asm

    As I read, Think C doesn't has a full assembler compiler. It is only supports an inline "asm" inserts in C code. Retro68 is a very interesting project. But I am a newbie at 68k Mac development, so I cannot understand how to use (and where to get) classic Mac OS C-headers and libraries (object...

    Yes, because: 1) it worked perfectly before 2) Mac OS show this floppy by using "PC" icon
