Title: AEROS for Pi beta 4
Post by: phoenixkonsole on September 01, 2013, 08:22:39 PM

Hello,

i am right now uploading beta 4 based on Deadwood's stable ARM ABI.
The ARM AROS builds where a kind of "ABI work in Progress". This fact hindered the possibility to aim for the AROS ARM build as developer.

Now we/ you and everyone can start porting apps to AROS for ARM.

Registered users can check http://www.aeros-os.org in about 3 hours.
Everyone else should check tomorrow for the public version. (Still uploading)

Due to some failures (my stupidity) it is no rc1 but a beta4.

New in beta4:
based on stable ARMhf ABI from Deadwood
Includes Contrib stuff like
DEMOS, GAMES, Wazp3D, OWB (the old version and not tested/buggy), Screenrecorder, DOPUS (not Magellan)
Deadwood compiled lx for ARMhf so launching Linux stuff from AROS side is working as before (it lacks a lot of Linux applications from the last release.. feel free to use synaptic/aptitude/apt get).

Problems:
I had trouble because of linux case sensitive FS : )
Stupidity... next release will look more consistent (AEROS icons)

Today I got a first preview of Directory OPUS Magellan for ARM, if it works I will add it to the next release (next weekend). At the same time i donated again money to the Magellan bounty as thank you.

Please try tomorrow:

Both, the public and the version for registered users ,contain a cross compiler package for i586 put together by deadwood.

I will upload it tomorrow as separate package. Happy porting.

Small update:
You can also download the last "closed" beta 3 including "lx"
And
Deadwood cross compiler package (so you can compile on a faster PC)
