Somehow I got the feeling that (allmost) every A.org visitor capable of
and interested in developing is allready involved in some kind of project.

Hey there are even some who are completly clueless, but still
start big porting-efforts (which go nowhere  ;-) )

Amiga(Open)Office is the perfect example  :-x
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Negative ? Me ??? :-o  Who brought you to that idea ?  :-D  :-D

It is just that I see "Amiga" (incl. AROS,MOS...) with a little bit of realism instead
of the typical "we are back and gone counquer the world"-fans.

I never said that you couldn't learn, but someone who starts on the Amiga-API
today should better not speak about big port like Mozilla for the next 2-3 years.

Well, that was the way it had to go with only 3 or 4 really experienced coders.

OT: Thought about doing a smaller Icon for ToT ?
The orginal one is just a bit big to be fitted into AmiDock  :-P

Thanks, but somehow I thought you would come up with something
a bit more hmmm innovative ?  ;-)


@DDJPPC
The setup for GG-MOS is even harder than GG-68k, and a working GG-68k
is strongly advised before you start installing it.

1st you will need to find a complete GG, which ain't easy as the main.-server
is down (any mirrors ?). Following the instructions should be possible.

Alternatives are the old GeekGadgets-CDs which also came with the AOS-
includes, or just buy the latest GoldED which has full GG-support.

I'm waiting to get my copy every day, so that I can get rid of the need for
an extra shell. GoldED is running next to perfect on the Peg, and eventhough
I don't have the JIT (only BT2 here) I did set syntax-highlighting to the
"over 1ghz"-setting without getting any slow-downs.

A few extra words:

Missing files could be a result of wrong arguments to gcc.

You should normaly compile with something like:

g++ (or gcc) -noixemul -m68030 -m68881 -c

For every source and:

g++ -noixemul -lm -o myprog *.o

to link.

Atleast that worked for me  :-)

I had very little experience with GG before, but setting up a working
MOS-GG took only 4 days which were mainly waiting for the right advice
from the maillist  :-P

@gazza

Have you set the needed assigns ? Is the "bin" directory in your path ?

@uncharted
IDE ? Just get the latest GoldED, and you will have an allmost perfect IDE.

Programming the OS has become much easier with the introducion of Tags.

Just insert:

win=OpenWindowsTags(NULL,TAG_DONE);
Delay(500);
CloseWindow(win);

and you have starting-point.

Now take a deep look at the "Includes&Autodocs" found on the DEV-CD,
and try all the nice tags.
