PortablE r4 released (now runs on Windows)
by Chris Handley
Link: PortablE r4 released (now runs on Windows)

A new version of PortablE has been released. PortablE is an AmigaE compiler, written from scratch in E, and able to compile itself. It supports Windows, Amiga OS3, OS4, AROS & MorphOS.

The big news is that PortablE now runs on Windows. It also now comes with an installer, and has the PEGCC program to directly create an executable from E code.

The main changes for this release are:
* PortablE now has basic support for Windows, along with some standard
portable modules which allow the same program to run unchanged on
Windows & Amiga. Documentation & several examples are provided.

* PortablE now comes with an installer (for all supported platforms).

* The PEGCC program runs both PortablE and G++ (GCC) for you, thus
producing an executable directly from E code.

* PortablE now runs up to twice as fast.
* Added MUI support for AROS.
* Fixed modules to work with Amiga OS4's latest SDK.
* FastNew() & NEW are now thread safe.
* Fixed FastNew() & NEW, which were previously un-aligned & so could
cause crashes under certain circmstances.
* OpenLibrary() could a crash on Amiga OS4. Really fixed this time!
* Numerous other improvements, changes & bug fixes.

Downloaded and installed! :-)

Seems that mpega.h fix didn't get into this release:

error: cannot convert 'WORD*' to 'WORD**' in argument passing

Simply removing the extra (WORD*) cast in the mpega.h file fixes it, provided one has downloaded the fix from OS4Depot.
