Hi!
I am new in dreamcast programing.
I spend last 2 days for compiling first program for dreamcast in Windows environment,
Visiting forums and lots of webs.
Forums are full of treads about step-by step and links for learning to compile C sources for Dreamcast.
Let me put in one text what I learned last days:
1-Download and install DC Dev ISO Release 1
http://www.consolevision.com/dreamcast/dev/
burn the ISO to CD and install following instructions step by step. Is very easy.
2-run CYGWIN, and move (unix comands) to the dreamcast samples folder in KOS.
3-you can compile any sample using the comand MAKE
4-If all is OK, it will create an ELF archive.
5-convert eLF to BIN using file checker

6-Make a Bootable CD. I make CDI for burn in Diskjugger
there are many tools to make bootable cd from IPBIN and 1st_read.bin.
Look at
http://www.megagames.com/dc/dc_utils_bootcd.shtml
7-Install daemontools v.3.29 (only this version)
http://software.ty.sx.cn/soft/137.html
8-mount the CDI on daemontools
9-Use chankast 025
http://www.chanka.org/
10-does it runs OK?, so you can burn in diskjugger and play on Dreamcast
thanks to all the people writing and teaching about Dreamcast on the web.
I hope I can help a little too.
