Hi.

I've managed to port d2x (open source version of Descent II) to AmigaOS 4.0. It's available on os4depot.net. Note you need the full retail version or the shareware/demo files for this to work. The archive contains a script for easy installation of the demo version.

Check our web page for additional details.

Have fun ,-)

Thanks a lot for your work, glad to see again games ported by the Friedens :) I'll give it a go tonight. Kudos for the new webpage, too.

BTW compiling code using .so requires the beta SDK isn't it?

You need a newer GCC version than the one included in the last SDK release.

I don't think you need updated include files to use it.

Thank you very much for the Descent II Port...

I hope you can release Freespace II when you have some spare time or when it is done :)

Best Regards

Shared object support should work with the compilers from the adtools project alone. I am not quite sure about the newlib startup code, IIRC, everything is set up within the newlib.library.kmod, not in the binary itself. I'll check that.

News update os4???

@Everyone Concerned.

Show you appreciation.dig deep into your pockets, and donate, whatever you have spare to the following two causes please.

1: OS4depot.net
I think we can all agree that at some time or another we have used OS4Depot. Orgin will hate me for saying this, but he only gets about 2 Donations a year to keep the site going. If you use OS4Depot, please consider a donation.
- The donate link is at the bottom of the left hand side of the page.

2:FriedenHQ The Frieden boys have ported yet another Game to AmigaOS4. Show your appreciation if you can.
(Please note, I am not 100% sure on this, but I don't think the Friedens would wish you to donate money towards OS4 via this site. I am sure this is for their porting efforts only - Quake3?)

Say thank you and show your appreciation to some of the guys that make the Amiga scene tick. Even if all you can donate is ¤5 Euros.

Thanks

Mikey C
(P.S. I have done this post entirely off my own back and it is in no way meant to be as some sort of "Official" donation drive by the sites/people mentioned above)

@Rogue

Well done, excellent game.

I get DSI error after finishing first level on the demo version.

Sorry can't send you crash log, computer crashed after exiting game.

I didn't try this games but ... thank you for this port !

And as a developer, I am glad to see your article on shared objects. Things are clearly explained.

OS4 has really nice features ... Too bad that it is not available on Sam400 or Mac boards. There are arguments to get more users.

@Rogue

Well done, keep on rocking.

I'm currently working on another article explaining the basics of Makefiles. I hope that is useful, I hear that makefiles are still somewhat obscure.

No arguing this point. I wish it were.
