Title: Open Video Toaster
Post by: Super TWiT on August 26, 2009, 08:28:56 PM

I just downloaded and extracted all the pieces of the Open Video Toaster project, and was wondering how to use it. I have Amiga Forever and have set my settings all to the highest settings. However, when I try to look at something like ProMix Tools, I see nothing visible to workbench. However, when I look at DigiPaint I can see an executable and can use it. I think I am missing something...

The only executable of those newtek files are the digipaint program. The rest is only source code given for the developers interested in it for looking at it or modify it and create the executable files after compiling.

Is there anyway I could compile these so  I could use the programs?

@Super TWiT

Do you have SAS C 6.5 for Amiga? If you want executables you could always buy the the Amiga Video Toaster 4.3 Convenience upgrade from NewTek. It costs between $49-59. Do you have any relationship with This Week in Tech?

No I don't have SAS C 6.5 for the amiga and I don't have a relationship with This Week in Tech. I am just a fan:) I was wondering if I could compile the open toaster stuff on my emulator. (And kick up the speed so it compiles faster:hammer:)

Unless you have some type of C compiler setup might be hard to get executables. SAS C is what NewTek used so it would give you the best results. Do you have a ASM or C programming background?

No, I am not a programmer and don't have any knowledge of either of these languages. However, I have compiled applications on linux before. I know there are some C compilers on aminet. Could I use one of those?

You may have to change the syntax of some of the code but it is possible depending on the C complier. The code will have to be moved off SAS C long term anyway since that product has not be sold or support in years (SAS C).

Don't tell anybody, but I got Switcher and CG to compile a few months ago.  Then I got busy doing other stuff.
