AmigaRemote

A two-part tool for cross-developing Amiga (m68k) software from a modern host. The host pushes files and shell commands to a running Amiga over TCP; the Amiga writes the files to disk and runs the commands (typically a cross-compiler build followed by running the result). Both sides talk on port 20202.

• ACS — the server, runs on the Amiga (amigaServer.c).
• amigaCompile — the client, runs on the host (amigaRemote.cpp).

Build

make builds both binaries:

make               # ACS (Amiga) + amigaCompile (host)
make ACS           # server only  — needs m68k-amigaos-gcc (ApolloCrossDev) in PATH
make amigaCompile  # client only  — host gcc

Run

1. On the Amiga, start the server (it waits on port 20202):

   ACS
   

2. On the host, point AMIGAHOST at the Amiga and run a script:

   AMIGAHOST=<address> amigaCompile <script.txt>
   

Script commands

Lines starting with # or ; are comments; blank lines are ignored.

Command	Description
send <file>	Send a binary file to the Amiga (CRC32-verified).
sendtxt <file>	Send a text file; opened in text mode to normalize CR/LF.
run <cmd + args>	Run a command on the Amiga; output stays on the Amiga console.
runout <cmd + args>	Run a command and stream its output back to the host, ending with [exit <rc>].
recv <file>	Pull a file back from the Amiga (CRC32-verified).
close	End the session.

runout captures output via RAM: on the Amiga, so the RAM Disk must be available.

Example

# send main.c, compile it on the Amiga, and run the result,
# streaming compiler and program output back to the host
sendtxt main.c
runout gcc main.c
runout a.out
