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.

This release includes many bug fixes, including the elusive MiniGL watchdog task crash, which was responsible for random lockups. The release also includes updated developer files for all new features in MiniGL 2.x.[/b] Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:47:27 -0700 http://utilitybase.com/article?action=show&id=258 http://utilitybase.com/article/MiniGL+2.1+beta+for+Amiga+OS+4.x+released http://utilitybase.com/images/categories/News.gif Installer usually prompts for input and confirmation, which is not ideal for an automatic update procedure such as AmiUpdate uses. With some care, however, Installer can be made to install or update software without any user intervention. This guide describes how to achieve this using AmiUpdate's AutoInstall mechanism, and modification to an existing script.

Most shared objects do not contain AmigaOS version strings, the procedure will check date stamps and prompt if appropriate (showing the original and new file sizes for comparison), if this is the case. The procedure can be added to any Installer script. Shared objects must be stored in an SObjs sub-directory from the source installation, and will be copied to SObjs: assign. Copying is then as easy as: (p_copysobj "libgcc.so") Sat, 21 Feb 2009 08:53:15 -0800 http://utilitybase.com/article?action=show&id=256 http://utilitybase.com/article/Install+SObjs+with+Installer http://utilitybase.com/images/categories/Source.gif There is now 11 project open for grabs and 15 assigned projects on OpenAmiga.org. 2008 provided a slow start for OpenAmiga, as expected with the number of available developers for our platform. Hopefully 2009 will speed things up a bit with the SAM adding more and more os4 users to the fold. Still we managed to submit the extended mouse pointer types project to Hyperion and quite a bit of source code was submitted to the svn.

VBCC is fast, highly optimizing and easy to use ISO C compiler for all "Amiga flavour" platforms and systems. The 0.9 version includes a huge amount of fixes as well as few fresh improvements.
