New Replacement Workbench 3.1 Disk Sets www.amigakit.com

Relax, nobody is going to release a new kickstart anyhow, exactly due to the legal problems it would cause.

therefore i am trying to push for compiling aros kickstartt and eventually aros68k with vbcc, at least partly:

i will document the progress also here (for starters):

please understand that this is an initoative of an noob, so it relays on experise of others, may take ages and lead to nowhere. but "learning by doing"

anyway any help is apreciated. i succesfully built a vbcc crosscompiler and am currently getting aros amiga-m68k target built regular way under gcc on ubuntu. one step at a time.

@thor

if you think vbcc is lacking in comparison with sas/c it might be work to talk to phx personally. perhaps there is room for improvement. i have a feeling he is open for suggestions and it would be great to have an up to date compiler for amiga-m68k that is actively maintained and aware of system requirements, which apparently is not the simplest case when going with gcc.

[wawrzon]

Pretty much so, but that's actually a pretty good discussion here and more fruitful than most others I've seen. Thus, if we can stay off-topic in that direction, I would appreciate it..

im all for it.

@matthey
where do the jason quotes come from? its interesting in context of compiling aros with vbcc.

@loadwb
yes, right. assuming matthey, olsen and thor would agree this would be a good example of a case when moderator action might not only be justified but asked for, to move it to a new thread with a telling title. if so one of the involved might care to report themselves.
