When are AOS4 released?

[Mr_Capehill]

@Jethro:

a) I think there are, but I use Mediator.

b) Yes, on classic hardware. (NallePuh with AHI may work too)

d) I haven't used OS 3.x for a long time...

e) Daily, yes. It's slow. VBCC, on the other hand is fast. I think the size of the C code is ok, especially when not using -lauto and after stripping some info. Also optimization flags help.

g) I would say 64 MB is minimum. It should be enough for JIT too. The more the better. GCC needs memory, disk buffers, JIT etc...

Yeah, toying But don't forget all those nasty bugs  :-D

@Jethro:

Sounds like expensive. Better save money for micro-A1 if you want to run AmigaOS 4.

@Kronos: I have used 29-30 MB after booting to WB so I guess the resource requirements for AOS4/MOS are about the same.

@EntilZha:

Not currently. But I was lucky enough to get more memory yesterday (hello Toaks!) so I will enable this...does it also work with SFS?

The speed must be very subjective. IMHO, GCC 3.4.2 is pretty heavy on classic machine, especially when using optimizations...

@Jethro: it's useable. Otherwise I wouldn't have ported NetHack, a few Angbands etc. Compiling takes many minutes though, maybe ~1 hour on an Angband variant on my BPPC. Please note, that I haven't had that cache plugin enabled and only had 64MB of memory, T: assigned to harddisk etc...
