Btw, while i reading that link, i found these words: "understand how AmiCygnix is used". That is scare me a bit, and i hope port will be not based on AmiCygnix (someone who have contact with porter imho should say that AmiCygnix should not be used).
:) sdl/gl ports are much easy than that 100% :) I am also read that part (about which you point imho?) : Quote:
Milestone 0.6
Note : this part can need a lot of time (probably several month, or even a year for a basical native port). vcl is a critical part, where system events, fonts, keyboard and graphical (low level) layout like instances, frames, windows, controls and basically all graphical objects will be implemented
Strange that is need so big rewriting work, because if it's already ported to many platfroms, then it mean that code should be more or less portable already.
Imho all of this will be interesting if no AmyCygnix will be. Because it's slow, and we already have AbyWorld over it..
It's interesting to read how the Amiga environment appears to "normal" users/developers.
That is a poor guy who is left alone in a foreign and unknown world. I doubt that this port will be finished before 2020 if not also an experienced Amiga developer intensively works in cooperation with that guy.
All in all, all that fuzz about "soon we will have open office", for now looks pretty unreal (just after reading the whole link). And of course, it will be not finished for the first x1000 sales ..
Btw, it was funny to read about "ugly shell" (what by default is it), but no one say to him that there is KCON and alt .. Dunno why Trevor (if i understand right) send machine to him for working on port.
However, I would like to know which filesystem he is using, and what his complaints are. I also hope that whatever is causing Subversion to freeze when checking out the source code is tracked down and fixed. I've never had any trouble with Subversion, so I'm surprised with this. Finally, what didn't work with ssh?
At a guess as a new user of Amiga OS the subversion checkour hanging was probably either a stack or he hadnt started abc-shell (or both), as for ssh the problem I always had was I could ssh to a server but then couldnt ssh from there to another (or su to root).

my opinion is that he should use a cross compiler. It could speed up a lot the work.
1) the unix shell works correctly on other systems 2) the compilation time on many platforms tooks also 2 days.. imagine on our SAM.. 3) on linux,windows,mac there are a lot of editors that are more powerful than ours.. 4) no more stack problems..
Well, said, because the people sometimes is very very heavy, the work with calm and slow always go well, with pressures the things always produce bad things or cars...
I hope I can rely on you to self moderate. I know if I was trying to maintain enthusiasm to learn and tackle a mountainous task I would be very upset to read your description of me.
Can you edit please, I don't think it is called for.
