NetSurf OS3.x Issues

[jennadk]

Am I correct in assuming this version  requires a FPU?

Edit: I don't have one and simply get the error "8000000B" when trying to start it. (Amiga 1200 / ACA1231 / 3.1 ROMs / OS3.9BB4)

Fair, oddly if I launch from the CLI it hangs rather than crashes. Specifically it hangs here (at my 64 color AGA screen being detected):

Also, for the installer script to run I have to rename the readme to get rid of the "_os3" line. Thank you so much for all your efforts!

This time when launching from the CLI it gave me "8100 0005" which is a corrupted list in Freemem and then my machine hard rebooted. I am using the latest & greatest from your site. At this point I'm willing to cede there's maybe an odd library incompatibility? Something making my memory management not work quite right. My particular 1230 card, while lacking a FPU, does have a MMU.

I'd be happy to run a debug mode, but don't have a cross-compiler set up. Any programming I do is in Python or PHP, which says exactly how much I like compilers.

Edit: this is what I mean about the corrupted list http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=64159

Edit Edit: Okay, I'm getting inconsistent and different freezes/crashes depending on how I launch this, so I'm going to probably try on a clean OS install next. Still get the original 8000000B error when trying the regular double-click launch instead of launching from the CLI, which makes no sense as I get different errors or a hang there.

Does this still require OS3.5+ or would Cloanto's "3.X" plus a a TCP/IP stack like Roadshow be enough to launch? Still curious to figure out if I was having a software or hardware issue and debating between a clean install 3.X + Roadshow or OS3.9 + BB4 + Genesis.

I tested this in Amiga Forever's 3.X release and, other than having to grab a copy of usergroup.library it seemed to run just great. Going to see about testing that on my 1200.
