Building Amiga sources on Linux - Updating vamos
« on: July 09, 2016, 03:33:21 PM »
Hi folks,

"vamos" is an open source run-time environment for Amiga binaries created by Christian Vogel available under GPL. Unlike most emulators, vamos does not implement a graphical front-end, and does not require a kickstart. It is entirely command line driven, and implements a very bare-bone emulation of some AmigaOs primitives just good enough to host typical Amiga development tools such as compilers and assemblers.

It allows scripting of AmigaOs-based development processes (unlike your average emulator), and hence allows to automate building-processes on *ix systems.

You'll find a slightly updated and upgraded version of vamos on my github at https://github.com/thorfdbg/amitools. It's prepared to be merged by Christian as soon as he picks it up, and you can then get the version also from his github as soon as the work is done.

What's new now is that this version also runs PhxAss (which it did not do before), along with DevPac, SAS/C and Lattice it run before. Tools like Smake and GNUmake also work. However, floating point math through mathffp and mathieee is currently not yet ready and the calls are all dummies.

For optimal compatibility, you also need the 3.9 Shell Seg which provides the command line interface and the Amiga Shell functionality.

Installation is still rough, though.
