Could some help with please with a gadtools problem? I am new to Amiga C and have tried using gadtoolsbox to speed things up but it only slows me down. I create a GUI with GTB and try to compile the only. The compiler fails out and says I dont have the right header files. How does this work?

What is the file you are trying to include? What compiler? What options are you using? What is the error message that you are getting? The gadtools stuff is only available with 2.0 and beyond.

Problems with GadtoolsBox: Lattice 5x compiler Stock options lc -Lm *.c Can't find include gad_tools.h I think it is. I dont have any compiler time header for my programs that are created by gadtools. It is include stuff I dont have. Like gad_tools.h gadget_class.h some other stuff too. I have none of this. Did I get a bad zip file from a bbs? It does not have it ( the headers) in the stock ff_disk. Or should I generate .asm files and include that in the C source? I haven't tried this because I am not sure how. Thanks for any help you could send my way.

W.P., You're missing the AmigaDOS 2.0 includes – it's not a problem with the compiler (although I *strongly* suggest you upgrade your compiler to v6!). –Ben …via AutoPilot

Actually, there is no _ in gadgetclass.h or gadtools.h. Your #include statement should be: #include <libraries/gadtools.h> #include <intuition/gadgetclass.h> Otherwise, you are just missing those files. You will need to look on the original compiler disks to find the files.

So those headers are from the compiler not gadtoolsbox? Concerning Gadtools and not being able to compile to to missing gadgetclass.h and others.

Yes, those are compiler supplied headers.
