2. Programmer's development environment

We will show you the recommended system of hardware and software required for development.

Table 2-1 Hardware configuration list

tool	Model name	remarks
development host	SGI INDY	CPU R4600SC, RAM 64MB or more, HDD 1GB or more, 24bit color, 20 inch CRT
	(IBM-PC compatible machine)	CPU 486(66MHz) or higher, RAM 8MB or higher, HDD 500MB or higher, MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, MS-Windows 3.1
debugger	CartDev	The debugger software for SGI is GDI, and the one for PC is SNASM.
development target	DevSaturn	Connect a TV monitor to DevSaturn to check the video

Table 2-2 List of language tools for development

Classification	Tool name	remarks
compiler	GUI compiler	Used in Sega 3D Game Library (SGL)
assembler	GUI assembler
linker	GUI linker	Used in Sega 3D Game Library (SGL)
debugger	SNASM(PC) GDB(SGI)	Used in Sega 3D Game Library (SGL)

SEGA recommends the following development environment.

The GNU C language compiler is used as the development language. As the development host , we use SGI's UNIX workstation INDY in a network environment , with CartDev in between, and finally connect it to DevSaturn, which includes a TV monitor. The configuration diagram is shown below.
