That is just wrong. ixemul just cannot be mixed with amigaos threads. It is clear that you have good intentions but really don't seem to fully understand the consequences of your actions.

You're basically forking ixemul. This is not good.

Since you're obviously going to do it anyway, could you please rename the library? ixemul-ng.library and ixnet-ng.library or something?

problem is, the makefile and files contain so much ixemul.library entries that it cost much time to find out what need change.maybe you cam do it ?

I don't have the time. It isn't rocket science however. You do understand how the ixemul build process works, right? (considering you've been releasing many new versions of ixemul you really ought to know...)

that 68k programs fail under MOS or OS4 is not possible, because the crt0.o check automatic for version.I can change version to 60.1

when from 2001 to 2009 ixemul version num is only increase from 48 to 51, then i think 60 is never reach in MOS or OS4 because MOS or OS4 use ixemul only for compatibility reasons and dont want make it much better compatible to Unix.

This does not solve the problem. The library needs to be renamed.

This way it is even possible to backport your stuff back to MorphOS if someone really wants it. As long as it is called ixemul.library it is not possible.

And unlike what you think ixemul is crucial for many things in MorphOS, such as GNU toolchain, perl etc.

yes i know, its not easy, but currently many programs run perfectly (before only crash).and when devs that notice crashes report me problems i can fix that fast, so sooner or later it get better, same as uae run near all amigaprograms ixemul should allow to compile near all Unix/Linux programs without too much work.

The problem is, some of these things can't be fixed without seriously breaking other things in the library (for example ixemul can never be safely mixed with apps that use AmigaOS OS functions extensively). ixemul is so complex it is very hard to see how you can break it with substle changes. It for sure is not meant to be changed by inexperienced coder.

also maybe help to get netscape bounty or firefox bounty more easy.

If you think ixemul somehow makes this any easier you're seriously misguided.
