Title: Amiga OS4, compilers, NVU?
Post by: amigau on November 29, 2009, 02:03:33 AM

ahoy!  Wanted to know what A-OS4 compilers are out there I might use to compile NVU on AOS4.  

For those of you who haven't used it, it's a basic WYSIWYG HTML editor - nothing super fancy but it works well and you can use it on PeeCee or Mac - why not AOS4?

So.....I can get the source (here: http://net2.com/nvu/download.html), but how to compile it?

Well, there's gcc and the official OS4 SDK - that's a good place to start.

There's also the AmiDevCPP cross-compiling environment, but I don't know if it generates OS4 binaries.

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but it's not just a matter of compiling it; you also need to wrap/rewrite/port the GTK GUI it is built upon.

So are those GUI elements avail. in source too, or?  Are these GUI elements part of the Amiga Firefox project or similar (might be able to leverage some work already being done, or)?

I thought a GTK-MUI wrapper had been completed for AROS, but apparently not. Kronos is working on a MorphOS version, but I don't know its status.

You'd also be better off using the Kompozer sources, which are more up to date and a lot more stable than Nvu, which is about 5 years old now.

yes, I figured I would (use kompozer) - although I have yet to ever have a problem running Nvu anywhere to date (linux or Winblows).

 So the steps might be:

1) get Gcc or VBcc for AOS4;

2) get the source for Kompozer/Nvu

3) ./configure

4) make install

and watch what blows up, then repost...

You'll need AmiCygnix to compile Nvu to AmigaOS 4.x.  I think it already has a port of GTK.

The AmiCygnix website is here (http://www.schwan-clan.de/index.php?lang=en&fr0=AmigaFrameNav.php%3Flang%3Den%26sub%3D0&fr1=amiga%2FAmiCygnix.php%3Flang%3Den).  The source is at OS4Depot.net.  You need  amicygnix-x11-src.lha (http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=network/misc/amicygnix-x11-src.lha) and amicygnix-base-src.lha (http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=network/misc/amicygnix-base-src.lha).
