I've downloaded Jack and gave it a try.

First thing to fix in MorphOS installation is a path to IconX in install icon from SYS:c/IconX to MOSSYS:c/Iconx, that's why installation didn't work.

But there is something wrong with installer as it doesn't copy stuff and doesn't create a new drawer.

I've copied files from $jack_destination to a proper drawer and then copied MorphOS executable to that drawer as well. After that I got a popup asking for a language and then it fails as it was unable to open transparent windows. ATM im using a gfx card with no 3d support so I presume that's the reason. Will do some more testing tommorow with 3d supported card and let you know.

But at the start u need to change path to iconx and have a look at installer where is the mistake.

Regards

Fixed icon, I guess I am going to have to address all calls normally to SYS: to this MOSSYS: path instead.

@Installation

Yes, I had similar problems with the AROS scripts.  Third-party stuff copied correctly, but I wasn't able to address the environment variable destination problem.


Yes, as all main core files are kept in MOSSYS: and you should not touch it at all. If you want to add some stuff (for example libs) you have to put them in SYS: If MorphOS will fail looking for some lib in MOSSYS:Libs it will give a try at SYS:Libs.

So what's the solution with the installer then?

1. Change the icon like you said

2. Change all references in the installation script (open in a text editor) from SYS: to MOSSYS:

3. Amongst other stuff Jack has a Preferences panel that simply opens stuff in SYS:Prefs/, I've changed this in the source code to MOSSYS: when running under MorphOS.  No doubt MorphOS has different preferences applications to AmigaOS anyhow- but the initial goal is to get it to run in the first place. ;-)


The best solution imo is to download MorphOS iso and you can take a look what and where is based.
