Setting up VBCC to compile for 68k and OS4

Submitted by broadblues on

I'm looking inot setting up VBCC initially as a cross compiler to 68k on my X1000 but potentially also to compile certain projects to AmigaOS4 with it.

The basic install is trivail but I'm not sure how and where to put includes for the likes of AmiTCP / RoadShow , AmiSSL etc. And for any other third party libs (libjpeg. etc)

Anyone have a working setup?

Virtual Linux box for AmigaOS4 development

Submitted by jaokim on

Hi,
I've just created a vagrant environment to use for AmigaOS4 cross compiling development. You can use it on any OS that has Vagrant (Linux, Windows and MacOS).

What is it?
* Virtual Linux environment with pre-installed AmigaOS 4 PowerPC compiler (gcc 5.5.0) and latest official SDK.
* Scripts to download SDK dependencies from third party source (f.i. os4depot) with distributed instructions.

Read more on how to install here: https://sourceforge.net/p/vagrant-amigaos4-crosscompiler/wiki/Home/

Testing, questions and suggestions are welcome!

How to filter out stray '\240' in program sources?

Submitted by hypex on

Hi guys.

I tried to copy some source from here for compiling and ran into the old "stray '\240' in program" error. I tried MicroGoldED, MutliEdit, ­NotePad, Ed and Memacs. None filtered it out nor did I see any option to filter it down to basic ASCII.

I also tried my own program that cuts off the high bit and can replace non-ASCII chars but found it just messes up all the lines and caused an error in the code.

So what Amiga/OS4 programs are there or editors that can save a program in generic ASCII?

Show AppDocky in AmiDock bar # (not main)

Submitted by jabirulo on

Hi, using IApplication->RegisterApplication(), the AppDocky shows always in the main AmiDock bar (#0).
Is there any tag so I can make such AppDocky shows in other AmiDock bar, I have/use 5 AmiDock bars:

0: main (AppDockies show here),
1: My main AmiDock bar,
2: Tools AmiDock bar
3: Net AmiDock bar,
4: Screentitle AmiDock bar.

I want to show (Mixer AppDocky) in Screentitle bar (#4). Can it be done?

TIA

Python Installer API

Submitted by frederick on

Hello everybody,

Lately I was looking for material about OS4 installer. Naturally I looked at the Hyperion wiki and followed the advice of checking the operating system installer.
But I still would like to know about all the available Python API for the installer.

Is there any reference somewhere ?

Thanks !

Compiling using VBCC (sys/types.h)

Submitted by jabirulo on

When I do small/simple programs I try to test it with VBCC too if it compiles and so.
When trying to compile this "version" clone with some "features", under GCC no problems, but when trying VBCC I get the following error "sys/types.h" not found.
Do I need to copy gcc "???" drawer into vbcc includes or do I need an external package (posixlib in os4depot)?

TIA

Wordworth/FinalWriter filetype definition

Submitted by walkero on

Hello guys. For a long time now I am thinking that it would be usefull an app that reads Wordworth/FinalWriter files and convert them to docx/odt/rtf files, giving the option to also make them unicode compatible. That way every could create documents on amiga and exchange them with the rest of the world.

My questions are:
- Did anyone tried something like that?
- Are there any file description of the default formats of Wordworth/FinalWriter documents?
- Do you believe that such an app would be usefull?

How to leave resident code in memory?

Submitted by hypex on

Hello.

I'm wondering if there was any standard way of leaving code resident in memory and being able to find it by name? You could say a TSR.

Years ago when writing patch programs I needed to leave code in memory. I recall modifying the segment list in the assembler days so code could be left in memory. But one main problem was adding memory reachable by name.

How can I build/create DateString using Locale?

Submitted by jabirulo on

HI, I have DAY MONTH and YEAR and want to create the date string using Locale format, so it shows the correct separator character ('-' '.' '/' ...) for the language being used under AmigaOS4.

What I'm doing now is to "get" such date separator char by "parsing" 'loc_ShortDateFormat' (locale.h)
