Get Started
What you’ll need
To use DICE-nx you will need good knowledge of AmigaOS, its Shell, how to program for the Amiga, and the C programming language itself. DICE-nx is not intended for beginners, unfortunately.
To install and run DICE-nx, you will need:
Either a real Amiga or an emulator such as WinUAE or Amiberry.
More memory beyond this can boost the performance of DICE-nx.
Install
Unpack the DICE-nx package to a temporary location. For example:
lha x DICE-nx-dist-3.20.0.lha RAM:
Using Workbench, open up the location where you unpacked the DICE-nx package. Double-click on the DICE-nx drawer, and then double-click on Install DICE-nx. Follow the on-screen instructions to install DICE-nx.
Installing an NDK
If you have the AmigaOS NDK 3.2, then the installer script will offer to install the NDK for you - choose this option and follow the on-screen instructions.
Give it a spin
After a quick reboot, open a Shell, and you should be able to exec dcc, the DICE-nx frontend.
Give it a try with one of the example programs:
cd DCC:Examples/Hello
dcc hello.c
hello
