gcc error in RISCOS direct

Whenever I execute Obey files, I get an error as: File gcc not found and compilation ends

Any solution to this issue?

Is this all obey files … or just ones that call gcc?
I suspect the latter, and gcc is not installed.
Note your screenshot reference is to a file local to you – and invisible to us!

These are ones that call gcc.
How to install gcc in RISCOS direct 5.27 VM?

GCC is present in RISCOS Direct, it is at HostFS::HostFS.$.Programming.C.!GCC. !GCC needs to be double clicked first, also a 16MB Next slot is required, just drag the Next slider in the Task Manager window.

It is working here on a Direct VM.

Problem solved, Thanks much

Just for info – for that !GCC application icon, and any other application too, if you mouse over the icon and then click the Middle mouse button slide the mouse over the right arrow at the side of "App '!GCC'" and roll down to the “Help” entry in that sub-menu and click.

That opens a small browser application (after a while) and in that you have all the Help for GCC.

Last night I downloaded the bundle that Peter created, this morning I ran it for the first time and checking what was in the Programming part of the install I note that there’s a few examples in BASIC (hidden away in the Documents.Manuals linked from Programming) but there appears to be nothing for C.
Surely this should be a visible directory full of examples of each language linked in the same way as the Manuals?
Yes, I’m aware¹ that tucked inside the GCC directory is a sub-directory called examples, but I’ve been around the RO scene since before RO GCC.

Direct is quite a nice bit of work, but I think we need things like Direct to be easy to use for more than just BASIC programmers.

¹ I’m aware, many old hands are aware, however NOOBS know pretty much nothing and need these first steps of “where to find…” spoon feeding to them. Give them a short while and they may know more than us about the system and where to find sites with other material, but not yet.

If you could post reports like that to the “Where do we report bugs in Direct” thread in “Bugs” forum, it’d be super-helpful. I am trying to go through and improve things where possible, and constructive feedback is very helpful. The next update will be a “drop on top” small one which adds Pi4 compatibility and fixes a number of issues that I have encountered and had reported. Changes to file structure are a bit more complex ([re]moving files really requires an update script) so will be part of the bigger update before Chirstmas.

In the meantime, I’ll try and add a readme file about the 16MB next slot. That’s small enough to fit in the mini update.

Edit: Done. There’s now a Readme about the Wimpslot, and two files to open Examples and Docs.

If you could post reports like that to the “Where do we report bugs in Direct” thread in “Bugs” forum, it’d be super-helpful.

Will do for future – suggestion on new link files in that thread.

Maybe ROOL could create a forum for Direct – new features, updates and bugs.
