Timberwolf RC2 available

TimberWolf RC2 is also running fine on a FFS partition of my First contact X1000 but does not run on a Sam 460ex.

The problem is the 460 AMC CPU

If you're referring to the crash on startup with RC2 libcairo.so then it's not AMC CPU related because I have it on my µA1-C with 750FX IBM CPU.

I made a bug report about it on bugs.os4depot.net:

Quote:Yes, and it also works pretty well on my X1000/SFS. I just have to reassign T: to a disk path before running it. It's much better than RC1 here, at least.

But RC3 will definitely be welcomed when it's done .

Best regards,

Quote:About four times out of five, I get an ISI on my SAM460ex; I haven't looked to see where the crash is. I just leave the GR completely alone and relaunch Timberwolf. It almost always comes up OK this time. If I get a DSI or a "program error" (I haven't had an ISI twice), I ignore the second GR also, and the third time is always the charm: http://www.bartssite.net/GRs.jpg

I came to this thread looking for an answer to a different matter. When I try to download a file, say one called "File," I always get this error: ":File could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location." Note the colon preceding the file name in the error message.

Is this standard for RC2, or is something special going on in my system?

A new video (not the best quality, sorry) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG3EIT6ZN24

When can we expect the RC3?

My bets on a Friday sometime soon hopefully. The bros always seems to release TW updates on Fridays which make the TGIF saying that much more relevant

Ouch!

":TimberWolf 4.0.1 RC-2 on AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5.mpr4 could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred.
"Try saving to a different location."

This was an attempt to download with savefrom.net while in TimberWolf, which I was surprised to see trying to run the video itself! It would have taken hours at the rate it was going, though.

It did do the download, and I thought maybe it was working for a change, but now I know the crucial difference between "download" and "save."

Why does TimberWolf Download insist on starting names with a colon?

It's not the CPU itself, but the fact that the code was optimized/compiled for a 7400 class CPU, i.e. it uses instructions that might not be available on other CPU's.

@Rogue

I think this begs the question, "When the final release of Timberwolf comes, will it have versions optimized for 440/460, 74xx, PA6T, etc."

BTW: Despite the question, I have not had many problems with Timberwolf R2 on my SAM460ex lite. I am very grateful for your time and effort porting this wonderful software.
