vasm is a portable and retargetable assembler to create linkable objects in various formats or absolute code. Supports m68k processors and has HiSoft Devpac compatible syntax. Can also output gcc compatible object files which is very handy. Highly recommended!

vbcc is a highly optimizing portable and retargetable ISO C compiler. It supports ISO C according to ISO/IEC 9899:1989 and a subset of the new standard ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99). It supports Atari TOS machines.

Essential page if you would like to build Atari binaries on another machine with modern gcc compiler (4.5.x). There is native compiler build available for Atari/MiNT machines.
Cross compiler is available for Win32 Cygwin (installer), Ubuntu Linux(32/64bit) and Mac OSX.

Dead Hackers Society Atari ST/Falcon files section. There you will find all popular and more obscure native Atari productivity tools for graphics, music, programming and demo creation. Each entry is well described, so everyone who is new to the platform will have good overview how everything looks, what features it has and will be able to choose something for themselves. Highly recommended .

Similar to Vincent Rivière's website, but with recent gcc builds.

sc68 is a free open source project that intends to play musics originally designed for Atari ST and Amiga computers.
The package contains 68000 macro assembler, 68000 disassembler/sourcer and Ice 2.40 depacker which can be used for Atari ST development. (see Developers/Tools section)

Key features:
- The toolchain work on windows plateform (you can assemble, build the final disk and run it on emulator using PC only)
- The kernel works on STf, STE, MegaSTE, TT, Falcon and Falcon CT60
- The demo disk generated support HDD loading (just copy a small HdLoad.prg file near the MSA file)

Credits:
- 68k Source code is assembled on PC using as68, macro assembler written by Vincent Penne (Ziggy Stardust)
- Kernel use ARJBeta packer/depacker (mode 4 & 7), 68k version by by Mr.Ni! of the Tos-Crew
- Everything else is done by Arnaud Carré (Leonard/OXYGENE) http://leonard.oxg.free.fr

Cross compiler for Motorola DSP56001 by Sqward. Generates Falcon 030 specific LOD and P56 files.

This website is dedicated to two tools written specifically for the Atari range of machines.

rmac is a macro assembler targetting the 680x0, 6502, Jaguar JRISCs (codenamed Tom and Jerry), Jaguar Object Processor, and the DSP 56001 CPUs. It can output to standard aout object file format, ELF, or directly to Atari TOS PRG format or absolute binary.

rln is an object linker that can output raw binaries at an absolute address or COFF binaries (a common format for Atari Jaguar development).

Collection of the old code base for the TurboAss and Bugaboo, which was first sold commercially under the name OMIKRON.Assembler and later as shareware under the name TurboAss/Bugaboo.

Features:

68000 assembler, editor and debugger
Compiles up to 1.3 million lines per minute (on a 8MHz 68000)
Syntax check at input!
very powerful editor
source level debugging
does not depend on the operating system

Adebug/Assemble is a pair of Debugger/Assembler for the MC68Xxx family running on Atari and Amiga computers. Years ago commercial product, now GPL.

A collection of brown scripts that build brown compilers and libaries for the Atari ST series of computers. Allows to build latest gcc compilers for m68k targets. It's using elf output, which has to be preprocessed to Atari binary format.
