Why bother when there is ZUNE :lol:

[Karlos]

Isn't that just a MUI compatible GUI system taken from AROS?

Ah, forget it - going too OT...

Hi really good idea to write these, major thumbs up.

Noticed though that your link to the third intuition tutorial is set as intuition1.c instead of intuition3.c

Keep it up!

If you do also a double buffer example which is more intuitive than that in the RKM that would be great

@Karlos

No point for a flamefest, MUI rocks everything else sucks ....


I might at some later time do a simple GadTools-example (as GadTools is a s simple as it gets), and later on something bout MUI, since MUI is the only GUI that I use myself.

Nothing that would stop any given Triton-troll to to an Triton-t5utorial.

@AJCopland

Fixed that.

@Dagon

Does that mean I have to dig out my Dev-CD, search for that example, and on top of it find a way to make it even worse

Puih, thats 3 wishes at a time, and a chocolate-egg wound solve this one....

[Karlos]

MUI Schmooey... :lol:

BTW, I like the tutorial idea, I must say :-)

[Kronos]

Added chapter 4, basic menus.

@Kronos

Added chapter 4, basic menus.

It would crash less if you terminated the mymenu array with NM_END entry.

Fixed.

In itself, this is a valuable lesson:

Never assume because something compiles and appears to run fine that it's working properly.

Heck, I've been bitten a few times by making this assumption.

The first 3 tutorials compile and run fine using the AROS-sdk and gcc under Linux, but when I try to compile the 4th, I get:

Anyone got any ideas?

I get this error message:

gcc o/gcc-classic-stable/main.o -lauto -o bin/gcc-classic-stable/example4
/gg/lib/libamiga.a(createmenus.o)(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `GadToolsBase'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bin/gcc-classic-stable/example4] Error 1
Done.

What shall I do? What's wrong?

[Kronos]

@gklka

Either open GadTools by hand, or switch to "libnix" in the compiler-options (linker options).

[Kronos]

@tangletown

Again, GadTools seems to not been opened, dunno whether a compiler-switch will help for AROS.

The warnings can be ignored atm, but I assume it is the last "0" in each of the lines, replacing them with "NULL" might work.

[gklka]

@Kronos

Switching to libnix works, thanks!

So we can use menus - what's next?

PS: Window title in example 4 is still "intuition3"!

[Kronos]

Intuition5 getting input from multiple windows has just beed uploaded.
