I'm looking at automating the ZitaFTP release process a bit more, and also uploading it to the aminet. Has anyone written a script/tool to help generate aminet readme's? Preferably a bash/python script, or something else that's cross platform.
Do we have any decent editors for OS4? NotePad is too simple. MultiEdit has block indent moving but aside from that I don't see any other perks. CodeBench is slow to start up and won't load text files in like a standard editor.
I find Amiga editors tend to be too simplistic and lack basic features. Well too basic for my needs. For example syntax highlighting, block indent management and auto indenting, and red lining errors.
Perhaps a port of Xed from Linux would be good. The plugns do most of what I want. Though I would prefer a proper native program.
I also asked this in the Facebook Amiga coding group but thought I would start a discussion here.
So for a long time now there has been OS4Emu. Proof that programs using OS4 API and ABI can run on MOS. But, can the opposite be true?
I've always wondered if MOS code could run on OS4. But I've never come across any examples of anyone trying. Did anyone try and do this? Even with a simple Hello World? I think it would be possible.
I would like to ask you if you could elaborate a little bit how a C program can work with plugins. One application that I am aware of that does something like that is adripper, where you can add binaries as plugins and then new features are implemented. I bet there are more applications doing something like that.
Is it possible for an active window to detect whether the mousepointer is hovering over it?
I would like to stop a continuously updating listbrowser suspend updating when the mousepointer is hovering over it, so the user can easily make a selection.
The otherday I was simply compiling some stuff I had written many, many moons ago and came across a very strange compilation error.
Whilst compiling a program which is using '_start()' as its startingpoint in stead of the more common 'main()', I ran into a compilation error the meaning of which I felt hard to fathom as it was beyond all logic. Something about 'illegal type for _start()' and '_start() was defined here: .....'. I can't really reconstruct it as I've remedied the problem.
