Software News   Software News : PortablE r5 released (now runs on MorphOS)
   posted by ChrisH on 27-Nov-2009 11:13:39 (3494 reads)

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.


Read more...


This release has focused on optimising PortablE, although other things were also done:

* Experimental MorphOS support (for C++), including MOS executables! MUI seems to work.

* Modules provided by others for AHI, CD_Play, FreeDB, MPEGA & some MUI bits.

* PortablE is up to 65% faster than before.

* PortablE's memory usage has been halved! Now similar to GCC's.

* MUI programs with custom classes can now be compiled by AmiDevCpp for OS3.

* Added emulation of AmigaE's ! (floating-point) operator to the compatibility mode.

* FastNew is implemented using an enhanced TLSF algorithm, greatly reducing memory usage.

* Programs produced by PortablE run faster, and PEGCC produces smaller executables.

* Lists are now truely stack-allocated, rather than being dynamically faked.

* Implemented the missing string formatting codes (\l, \r, \z, [w] & (x,y)) for C++.

* For speed, multi-threading support is now disabled unless you use OPT MULTITHREADED.

* Directory scanning is now much more robust on Windows.

* Improved documentation; clickable links, added bold/etc & special characters now visible.

* More examples of portable code.

* Various bug fixes.

As he already supports Windows I wondered if he has in mind any other non Amiga Operating Systems.As I said it was just curiosity and in no case a request

MorphOS installer busyloops eating 100% of CPU without opening any window. It is breakable however by sending CTRL-C singal from TaskManager. No hits in debuglog. MorphOS 2.4, Pegasos 2.

Probably basic Linux support at some point (to the same level as the existing Windows support).

Wierd. Unfortunately I don't have a MOS machine, so I can't heavily test things here. You can install it manually in any case.

Please try running PortablE from Executables/MorphOS folder. What does it do?

Eeek, MorphOS installer uses ixemul. Please build with -noixemul switch

Sure, can do for next time. Is it likely to cause any problems on MorphOS, except requiring those libraries be installed?

Not unless there is an *easy* way to compile Mac OS X stuff on Windows (or possibly Linux)... I currently use AmiDevCpp on Windows for all my cross-compilation needs.

There is a little discussion about the Installer's problem on MorphOS here:
http://www.morphzone.org/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6680&forum=12
(No solution yet, so I suggest manual installation instead.)

@Krashan & other MorphOS users
I have now released PortablE r5a, which should fix the installer not working on MorphOS. Sorry for the inconvenience.

edit: I screwed-up, as the old MOS installer got into that release, so please download PortablE r5b.
