OWB Doduo

Quote:It still has serious bugs, for example the ACID3 test crashes because of memory corruption, very likely something is overwriting a too small buffer, which often happened in Blastoise as well, but the updated WebKit fixed a lot of bugs and added new features. ACID3 crashes at the same place on Linux as well - but only with the SDL version, the Gtk/Cairo one nearly passes the ACID3 test and doesn't crash.

Quote:There are several reasons why it's slow. It's a debug build, it's using libfreetype instead of the much faster AmigaOS4 ft2.library and Doduo doesn't render the complete pages any more but just the visible parts, like the AmigaOS4 port of Blastoise does with the "LOWMEM" tooltype, which of course makes scrolling much slower since it has to render the new parts instead of just copying parts of the pre-rendered page image into the window.
Pages with lots of GIF anims, for example forums with animated smilies, are still very slow, but that's only the case with SDL as well, with the Gtk/Cairo version there is no problem. After I've ported all additional AmigaOS4 features from Blastoise to Doduo I'll check why GIF anims are slow with SDL.

Quote:Different names only for incompatible versions, and no links (at least not in SOBJS:).
On AmigaOS4 there are different directories for shared objects, SOBJS: is used when an executables/elf.library loads them but the linker uses SDK:(Local/)newlib/lib instead, on Unix you only have a single directory for both and need for example a /usr/lib/libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.6.3.16 link or the linker wouldn't find it when using -lfreetype, and additionally you need a /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 -> libfreetype.so.6.3.16 link since that's the name the executables use (libfreetype.so.6 is the soname of libfreetype.so.6.3.16). If the same names would be used you'd have a SOBJS:libfreetype.so.6 and a SDK:Local/newlib/lib/libfreetype.so with soname libfreetype.so.6 on AmigaOS4 and no links are required.

from Joerg's reply in the older thread.

> Hotmail doesn't even work with Opera (9.50b2).

@Kicko

I could log in and read my e-mails wich I can't do with owb. I don't know what doesn't work with opera and hotmail.

@joerg

hmm..I have all SOBJS files..but cant start last update..All the time have info about missing ELF files..maybe problem is what I have only 256 MB??

@joerg

Ouch, 512MB required :-/
I hope this requirement goes down in the future.
Still, very nice to see the project progressing!

@joerg

Its cool to finally see the scrollbar whit in the frame, but there is some thing horribly wrong on images.google.com, when rendering frames whit in pages, basicly when you drag the scroll bar you se content of frame being drawn over top frame.

Quote:No, the executable is less than 50 MB and for the first few pages 256 MB RAM are enough.

@joerg

Yeah I install libjpeg.so...but without luck...

PPl thx for helping...I find what is problem and now it works( thx Kicko)..I forget copy files from OWB/Workbench dir to DEVS and Fonts.. ;)

Hi @Chris

so you can't easily check whether there are newer versions available, and you can't do a usefully copylib in Installer for these files.

Can't Python be used? The 'shutil' module works for copying. I've be playing with ideas for a Python installer:
import os, amiga, shutil...

@Snuffy

No idea, does it do versioning?

As Rogue said, adding an Amiga version string does the trick anyway.

@joerg

Hi, I am pleased to find that Doduo displays the scan page from the webserver of my HP 2575 all-in-one. The preview button delivers an accurate mini pic, the scan button, throws a DSI, clicking ignore does'nt cause lockups and although the scan continues nothing arrives.

The cancel and reset buttons on the page allow it to back out of the situation, and it continues normally with other websites.

So.. tantalisingly close! Thanks for all the efforts being put into this.

Regards Richard


P.S. This was the relevant ouput from the shell I launched it from, at the point of clicking the scan button.

Hi @Chris

No idea, does it do versioning?
Um, I would guess so if it was scripted as so. I'll put that on a 'todo list'! An Icon Installer got the list a couple weeks ago.

@Snuffy

Good luck in trying to get a version number out of a sobj which doesn't have an Amiga version string embedded in it!

@joerg

So how is progress with doduo?

I noticed that integration of the Amiga port was listed as a goal in one of the milestones on OWB's trac site. I suppose that this will be attempted once you have doduo ported completely.


Hans

I already mentionned it on AW.net but it's nice to see this project is (almost ?) covered like an official port. A news on linuxdevices.com few days ago tells :

Great job, Joerg !

@Hans

Quote:Currently none, when OS 4.1 is released I'll have more time and continue with it.

Quote:The initial plan was a private beta of Doduo in June and the public release in September, that way there would have been enough time to integrate the AmigaOS 4.x and Win32 ports, but they made it public after only 2 or 3 weeks and there will be something like a Doduo 1.1 with the ports integrated released in September instead.
