What it needs is an Installer script that downloads all the relevant archives and extracts/installs them in the correct places.

Or at least one that tells you what you are missing would be a start.

Will this help you in the development of ati driver for the amiga os ? :

I'm focusing more on OpenGL itself rather than GLUT. If someone is willing to have a go at updating GLUT support, they can always access the SVN, and/or contact the Friedens in order to be added as developers.

Yup. Luckily it is optional. To be OK legally-wise the stuff should be repackaged to contain the EULA b/s.

I think most of the problems comes from not installing the .so files, did every one having problem install the .so files, SDL shard objects and libcu and libsdl.

@Jack

Yes I updated it to optional earlier today.

But even so, had they been required it would not have been a good solution to require an extra download in a fresh os4 install.

But they can be pointed to in the installation instructions of OWB.
Debian also doesn't provides the fonts as part of the package, but there's a script that downloads and installs them.
That way all's clean and nice.

Edit:
And as Joerg pointed core fonts are optional and in abscence Deja-Vu fonts are used (afair).So they aren't destributed in the proposed above way, but suggested-with-links.

@All

I have the same problem here.
I boot with my mouse at one of the rear USB ports (keyboard is in PS2). When I boot, the mouse is not recognised. If I unplug it and replug it again on the rear ports. It doesn't get mounted. Sometimes its laser doesn't even light up!
If I unplug it from the rear and plug it at the front ports. It works. Then if I move it again to the rear ports, it works!
Strange.

Quote:The core fonts are not required to use OWB, if a font a web page is using isn't installed OWB uses the DejaVu fonts included in AmigaOS4 instead.

But nearly all web sites, incl. amigans.net (http://www.amigans.net/themes/klesterjr_hnl/styleNN.css ... TR, TD {font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial; ...), use them and if you have them installed the pages look better and as they were intended.

Quote:The core fonts are free for personal use, the only problem with them is that you are not even allowed to change the archive format, only distributing them in the unchanged .exe CAB archives, as available on sourceforge.net, is allowed. Although most people read the README_AMIGAOS4 included in OWB with the link to my archive with the .otag files for the core fonts it seems most overlooked the readme in that archive, it includes the link to the download section of the sourceforge.net core fonts projects and explains how to extract and install the core fonts TTF files, you don't have to copy them from a Windows or MacOS system.

There is no documentation for the AmigaOS4 port of OWB yet, would be nice if someone writes something better than my readmes which hardly anyone seems to understand

@ikir

Thanks ikir installed and running

@Jack

"Copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be distributed for profit either on a standalone basis or included as part of your own product."

So it can't be included in OS4 for example.

@poweramiga

Yes i use OS X fonts on OS4. Just use TrueType manager or whatever is called to import them.

@Hans

Any chance in getting glutSpecialUpFunc, glutKeyboardUpFunc and glutIgnoreKeyRepeat in the next release?

(And ofcourse glutFullScreen...)

/me hopes...

@orgin

Afaiu, license terms of the fonts are:
here

Can someone with more understanding of these issues comment?
This was found in msttcorefonts debian package.

Edit:
Imho, providing the original font file that this linux package dowloads as part of the installation will be sufficient (with the license file I pointed to in the link)



Jack

@orgin

MS core fonts are here as per includeed readme:

http://strohmayer.org/sfs/files/corefonts.lha


BTW: M$ core fonts seem to be free, here's the license file from debian's msttcorefonts package:

@poweramiga

I really don't know about OS X fonts since I took those of a Windows machine. You can still try and anyway this will bring new fonts to your system

@K-L

can we use OSX fonts as i have no access to windows machine

@acefnq

@Chris

@nbache
