Jack 3.1 now available for all Amiga-like operating systems

I thought that was for OS3.x too.

Like the MorphOS version, the OS3 included in the archive on OS4Depot is also untested at present.  However, as it works under AROS and they share a lot in common it shouldn't be too much hard work to get it running.   Clearly, you'll need lots of memory and CPU to draw upon.

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.

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?

[djrikki]

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.

Yup cannot beat having a real system to develop on.  Have already been offered help with that, see page 1.

djrikki, I will be home from work at maximum 8:00 PM, right now it s 3:13 PM with me. See me in IRC chat (I login using wookiechat) at the channel #amigaworld as a user MorphOSUser (it may be truncated to MorphOSUs for some reason). When you see me there at 8:00 PM my time I will talk to you live in IRC getting things setup and making sure you have access to the hardware by end of today. When everything is up and ready, I will not use the system anymore or touch it until you have finished your project. The system will be available Monday through Sunday 24 hour seven.

@all

Jack 3.1.1 now available in OS4Depot upload queue, addresses a few problems reported from users in addition to other general bug fixes.

* MorphOS: Runs in debug mode, please copypasta the result here if you manage to reach it in this release
* MorphOS: Fixes to installation icon.
* MorphOS: References to SYS: are now MOSSYS:

* Began adding connection detection around downloading of data across the
internet; due to this being a quick fix release this has yet to be implemented
into the App-Store.  More to do here.
* Donation database broken due to error in decryption algorithm.
* Fixed error in opening file manager from the shell using arguments.
* File Manager: Fixed downloading of URLs that contained uppercase.
* App-Store: Fixed error with Recent Uploads and Bundles both appearing in Red
under AmigaOS4; seems to have cleared up double buffering error present in 3.1.
* Commodity Window:  Added temporary warning requester to JackTunes in case the
user presses this icon by mistake.
