At the moment my focus Amiga-wise is prepping the NG Amiga hardware I am taking to AmiWest 2014 (Sacramento, California) as an exhibitor!

Ok, now I'm going explain a bit more about Makesfiles, and also try to condense this makefile.os4 and makefile.os3 and makefile.linux into one file.

Forst of all now we description how to build 4 different .o files, but we are using gcc to generate this files in the same way.

As my old WinUAE port was based on WinUAE 2.3.1 sources, which are quite dated now, I decided to first merge my tree with more up to date sources, before I start to fix/improve the port.

As the WinUAE 2.9.x is still in heavy development, I went for the last stable release 2.8.10 and merged all the files. The port of 2.3.1 was quite a lot of work, as the code failed with gcc on many places. Luckily, Toni has fixed lot of those places in the meantime, so this saved me a lot of time.

Understand how build process talked about in part 1 work.

So now you type make all -f makefile.os4 you get the game.exe file for AmigaOS4.

The game.exe will contain the following files for AmigaOS4:

main.cpp 
os4/display.c 
os4/filesystem.c
os4/joystick.c
os4/audio.c

If you're a visitor to the English Amiga Board you'll have no doubt stumbled upon Cammy's excellent tutorial for the games creation system "Backbone". While the games created using the utility regularly receive stick for being resource hungry (running most Backbone authored titles on anything less than an 030 machine is pretty painful) it gives those with little or no programming ability a chance to create their own Amiga games.

So, Toni (WinUAE developer), and Frode (FS-UAE developer), have collaborated to get QEMU’s PowerPC core code working. Their first release with the PPC JIT code was 2900b15. While I did download and test it, I didn’t see a huge speed increase. There was a marginal increase with my laptop and definitely much closer to the real NextGen hardware, it still didn’t feel like we were there yet.

Today is election day in Sweden. I’m watching the events unfold and it looks like we will have a change of government: from an alliance of conservatives, pseudo-liberals, Christians and farmers party turned Randian capitalists turned back to farmers party to an alliance of social democrats, socialists and the green party. The feminists have grown but doesn’t seem to make it all the way into government. And the “not racist but …” party Sweden democrats will apparently become the third biggest party in Sweden.
