config: aros68k, a4k, 060/50, cv64, x-surf.

Nice monitor.

Nice monitor.

nice? this is my old formac, heavy as a pile of bricks and headache blurry on higher res. just kept it for amiga, even though i mostly use an lcd tv instead. convinced now?

@chris:thanks, second round tomorrow.

There was a time where everyone said "Day of the Tentacle" is not possible on an A1200/030 AGA and it was possible! Just believe! :-)

[wawrzon]

funny thing is on amiga people tend to believe just any bs thrown at them, but when it comes to something actually doable they will tell it impossible.
im just sitting in a cafe downloading a git client to get the last netsurf source code..

[apj]

i can help too. i have already build latest netsurf , downloaded using git

[wawrzon]

have you built it with toolchain as chris says? what target? seriously, im doing it only because none else volunteers, i have not the slightest idea of coding, all i ever did was to port some sdl games.

[apj]

sorry for my different nick, i'm artur.
i think we could try chris plotters code to remove sdl.
as he said it uses graphics.library. question is how compatible it is with os3.
chris does it need many changes in the code ?

Edit:
looks like chris added some ifdefs to his code. he know best what to do.
I've also send my sources to novacoder. he works on native version too.

[wawrzon]

hi artur, didnt know you watch this space.

[gigogne]

Good news,
United we stand, divided we fall.
I'm sure you will succeed in making a Netsurf 68k AGA.
Thanks all.

The plotters should "just work".  The fonts code and blits will need modifying though.

[wawrzon]

Don't bother with 2.9.  3.0-dev is pretty stable at the moment and due for release in the next 2-3 months.  The palette-mapped plotters aren't in 2.9 either.

sorry chris, have overseen this one.

I use Cygwin, mingw ought to work as well.

amidevcpp, so im using cygwin as well as i understand it.

I would advise trying to build the toolchains used by the auto-builder.  See this email: http://vlists.pepperfish.net/pipermail/netsurf-dev-netsurf-browser.org/2012-December/002983.html

for some reason apt-get isnt available here. im upgrading using cygwin setup tool. still some packages dont seem to be available. build-essential, autogen...

There is a m68k-unknown-amigaos target set up in there already.

I've never tried building the toolchains.  I keep meaning to as my OS4 builds have a weird issue that doesn't show up on the auto-built versions.  However, these might get around the problems NovaCoder had.

i see. ill report back when im that far.

You can then build the libraries (and NetSurf itself) using TARGET=amigaos3 as an argument to make.

It's worth reading this as well: http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Documentation/GettingCoding

im a little bit tired now and have to switch locations. not being entirely succesful building gcc, so just to record how far i am and where its stuck the current shell feedback:

lets see how do i grant this permission:

Yep Thanks for that

I'll also give it another bash using your sources with my AmiDevCpp installed Cygwin.

It's trying to move it on top of itself by the looks of things, which is a bit weird.  Is your user account really called "netsurf"?  Cygwin calls the home directories after your Windows account name - eg. my home dir is /home/Chris

Did you create /home/netsurf to put everything in?  If so, don't do that - put it all in your home directory under a sub-dir of netsurf (/home/wawrzon/netsurf or whatever).  You should have full permissions then.

[wawrzon]

no my win account isnt called netsurf. in fact i must look first what its called. never cared about accounts, neither under cygwin/devccp. as you see its located in home/netsurf, account directory is missing. this is likely the problem. will have to see how to create account under cygwin and adjust the dir tree. i understand i have to create dir/account matching the win login.

Wasn't someone working on a Mozilla\Firefox port for classic amiga or is that dead now?
