Martin Tauchmann (E-Mail)


Programming: Crossgcc/AmigaOS-68k for Linux/x86 V2.95.3-3 (update)
Martin Tauchmann released version 2.95.3-3 of gcc for AmigaOS/68k as a cross compiler for Linux/x86 on Aminet.

This cross compiler allows to compile Amiga programs - ANSI-C and C++ - for 68k Amigas under Linux/x86. AmigaOS includes are required additionally, which are to find on the Deverloper-CD, Geek Gadgets CD Vol. 2 or FrozenFishCD, for example.

This compiler was compiled with the mpentiumpro option and requires a 686 compatible CPU.

Download: crossgcc_linux.tgz (5,3M), Readme

Update 22. August 2001:
Since there where no version of the above mentioned Crossgcc containing the '-fbaserel'- and '-fbaserel32' bugs on Aminet the following sentence was deleted from this message: 'This version fixes the '-fbaserel' and '-fbaserel32' problems.'. (sd) (Translation: mj)

Scalos (ANF)


Workbench: Scalos Beta V40.10
Beta version 40.10 of the alternative Workbench 'Scalos' was released. This release in particular fixes several bugs.

Changes since prior version:
  • Repaired bug in updateicon which sometimes caused icons to appear in incorrect windows
  • Duplicating/cloning items now pops up the file copying progress window
  • Dragging multiple icons now shows one or two text lines under pointer telling how many files and drawers are being dragged
  • Fixed severe bug in wbl.c: WBNode's were allocated with AllocVecPooled() and freed with FreeVec()
  • Added a varargs version of SCA_ScreenTitleMsg()
  • Added flag to switch between Flag: old dragging (all icons visible) and new "icon stack"
  • Added new SCA_ScalosControl() tags SCALOSCTRLA_GetOldDragIconMode and SCALOSCTRLA_SetOldDragIconMode
  • IconWinCheckUpdate() now correctly updates INF_DefaultIcon flag and INF_SupportsLeaveOut attribute
  • Missed a CurrentDir() when renaming objects, leading to a directory lock getting never UnLock()ed
  • When D&D copying or moving icons, "Replace All" and "Abort" now should work correctly Message strings "xxx already exists" are now different when moving and copying objects
  • When moving icons inside window and new position overlaps other icon, the moved icons now jump back to their original positions
Bugs can be reported using the bug report site.

Matt Parsons (AROS-User-ML)


AROS: IBM-PC/native on one single floppy disc
Matt Parsons released a new native version of AROS for IBM-PC compatibles, which can be installed to one single floppy disc for direct booting.

This version contains a working format command and allows to install AROS to a harddisk or partition. With the boot disk this harddisk installation can be used.

The graphical output still is very simple, so don't expect AROS to benefit from the speed of your board, at this time.

The readme included to the archive describes how to create a boot disk under Windows 95+ or Linux.

AROS is an open source project to implement a portable version of AmigaOS v3.1.

Download: AROS-ibmpc-bin.zip (680K) (sd) (Translation: mj)

This beta version does only contain the files that have changed compared to 'Directory Opus V4.16'. This version and the source code are available on the download page.

DirOpus is a filemanager programmed by Jonathan Potter and Greg Perry of GP Software. In 1999 was the source code released under GNU Public License conditions. Jacek Rzeuski had then begun to revise the program and to improve it.

Server software: 68020 version of AmiVNC available
Rüdiger Engel wrote:
Unfortunately the Amiga version of the VNC server AmiVNC was compiled for the 68060 and therefore doesn't run on slower Amigas. I had asked the author, Stéphane Guillard, to create a version for 68020 processors but unfortunately couldn't contact him. So I have compiled a version for the 68020 and made it available for download.

Download: AmiVNC-020.lzx

The archive has been taken over completely from Stéphane Guillard, the new files only carry the appendix "-020" in the name. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Among other things the different systems of the users have been evaluated, but also e.g. the countries the CD-ROM has already been sent to. The most CD-ROMs went to the USA, followed by Great Britain and Germany. Looking at the systems the most often mentioned one is the A1200, regarding the processors the 68060 was numbered out by the 68030 narrowly.

Digital Almanac III - update announcement and news
There are some news on the popular astronomy program Digital Almanac III: in the next time (very vague - summer holidays, vacation!) there'll be a new update. Due to the many new features it will become version 4.0. Here is an overview of the most important changes.

Bugfixes:
  • moon shadow on Earth at eclipse was slightly wrong since last version
  • drawing of parabola-like orbits was corrected
  • error in PHA check corrected
  • positions of Martian moons corrected (wrong reference level)
  • improved position calculation of the Galilean Moons (very exact over a long course of time)
New features:
  • new moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (!) and Pluto (!)
  • partially renewed calculation kernel
  • more maps of Mars, Venus and the Galilean Moons
  • filtering functions for planets/moons, deep sky objects and constellations. They allow to set drawing parameters for each single object or groups of objects
  • reworked textures
  • telescope can be controlled now also with numeric pad in the main and telescope window
  • import of comet orbit data directly from the internet!
  • for future versions there's now an automated update from the internet available. The annoying Shell command line procedure is history.
  • Online information from the internet on planets/moons, Messier objects and constellations (through OpenURL).
Because of the many changes the update archive will be several MByte in size. Alternately the update can be ordered for a small contribution towards expenses directly from Achim Stegemann. The CD contains not only the update but also big textures as well as numerous new pictures for your image collection.

More news:
Currently an OpenGL output (through StormMesa and Warp3D) is being worked on. This is purely experimental though, and it is not certain whether Achim Stegemann will have the time to complete it.
A GL version would speed up the graphics output, especially textures, considerably. (ps) (Translation: rh)
