Netsurf V3.0 Amiga release 2

[Hell Labs]

*bump*

What Do I have to do to get this thing to actually work?

I've got OS3.9, both boing bags and mui installed. it asks for ixemul.library. There's a file called "install" but clicking that brings up editpad.

Am I missing something obvious?

@hell lbs:
head to amiga.sf for your copy of bernds ixemul.library >61.x. be sure to backup your current ixemul in case you would have any complaints about the new version. one never knows.

Is that http://amiga.sourceforge.net/ ?

that site's kind of broken, but I've found a mystery tar.bz2 file. Dunno what's in it.

EDIT: turns out the file had some completely unrelated program in it. Joy of joys. I think someone out there is fucking with me, trueman show style.

EDIT2: I've found a file called ixemul-62.1-m68k.lha. I've unpacked it, but can't install because it wants the files to go in a fictional GG: drive. :angry:

Just copy ixemul.library & ixnet.library to libs: manually.

Funny you say that, I've done some googling and got the answer that I should install GeekGadgets. Worth a shot anyway.

[Hell Labs]

Installing geekgadgets is only for compiling (*nix) stuff, not for running netsurf.

x303

Well fair enough. I moved the files like you said, now netsurf tells me : 68040 math emulation code not found.



and then I click "abort", and then it says:

need at least version 61 of ixemul.library.

Which it has. Because I put it there. In accordance with your instructions.


FINAL EDIT: I owe x303 a beer or two. I might also write a guide on getting this thing to work.

[Hell Labs]

Which machine do you have in the first place ? Sounds like you don't have 68040.library in libs:

x303

Winuae.

68040 with FPU and JIT turned on, AGA, 8mb fast + 128MB Z3 fast ram, 2mb chip, rom version 3.1 and 32mb RTG.

So i'm looking to copy a file from the OS3.9 disk or something?


EDIT: oh joy, it's not booting any more. Now it just sits at a black screen. Any ideas, or Should I just put it on the list of stuff I've failed to do, like find employment and learn guitar?


That guitar was expensive, too. Shame I'll take such a huge loss If I sell it.

EDIT2: deleted the files i copied out of the libs folder that came with netsurf. It actually boots now.

EDIT3: Installed 68040.library and rebooted. It had no effect.

Incase you were wondering, I also have a nice little window pop up afterwards saying "netsurf failed returncode 20"

I've got it working. I'm going to write a tutorial by the weekend, so others doing the same thing won't have as much trouble as me.
