NetSurf 2.0 released for OS4

[Rebel-CD32]

Perhaps you were thinking of GTK-MUI - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-mui/

"A GTK+ to MUI (Magic User Interface) wrapper library, that makes it possible, to compile GTK+ programs for AmigaOS/AROS/MorphOS without any changes to the sources. The result is a native AmigaOS/AROS/MorphOS program with a native MUI GUI."

Great news about Netsurf! I've just finally got broadband after years of dialup, so I'll be setting up my Acorn RiscPC and trying Netsurf out on that. It would be great to see a 68k version too, although I have a feeling it won't be very usable on my A1200/030, but it'll be great for UAE and Amithlon users.

Coders has said multiple times that they had made OS4 version so that OS3.5 /3.9 version should be easy to make.

Has anyone even check the sources??

I had a look at an older version. used os4 coding style with IExec-> that shouldnt be too much trouble, but also used other os4 libraries like popup menu and others. Certainly some work involved but possible im sure, if someone is willing.

Wouldn't MUI work better for OS 3.x?

Note: It would still require fair amount of work as AOS 3.x MUI is rather old. I think the MorphOS version should still be easier to port to AmigaOS 3.x than OS 4.x version (irony intended).

It has been __USE_INLINE__ (ie. OS3-style) since the start.

The popupmenu class is just for HTML selection menus (I saw a patch on the ml which would remove the need for this) and context menus (not vital for an initial port)

A lot of what doesn't work in OS3 can be commented out to get it compiled, and then compatible functions added in later.  I originally started with only a couple of functions in the Amiga platform code implemented - the most important bits are the plotters (plotters.c is entirely graphics.library and I think was copied for the MorphOS port) and some of the basic window opening/redraw/event handling, which shouldn't need much tweaking.

The fonts code goes through the new OS4 diskfont EFunctions rather than direct to bullet/ft2.library.  I have an (old) version which uses ttengine.library so that removes that problem.

Go on, you know you want to :-)

@chris, then my memory deceived me! Thanks for the info
