Meet apt-os4, a new package manager inspired by the famous Debian apt tool—but built specifically for the AmigaOS 4 ecosystem and the clib4 repository!

Its goal is to make installing, updating, and managing software on AmigaOS 4 as simple and reliable as on modern Linux systems.

apt-os4 fills this gap, bringing familiar command-line package management to AmigaOS 4 users. But here’s the key difference: apt-os4 is NOT designed for generic Linux packages. It is purpose-built for the clib4 repository, which provides native AmigaOS 4 binaries and libraries compiled with the clib4 C runtime. This ensures compatibility, stability, and a seamless experience for AmigaOS 4 users

Release (Alpha..): https://github.com/AmigaLabs/apt-os4/releases/tag/v0.1

Gart RX/HD driver is available also for 460 and is working very well since months. Simply there is no public update of it but don't ask me why

clib4 except for few programs was used by almost anyone except me..
That's why we decided to bump to version 2.
I think that we'll be no other breaking versions at least in crtbegin.
In any case the UnLock error wasn't an incompatibility between version but an error on clib4 for some reasons wasn't show on clib4 1.6.. OS4 mysteries..

Clib4 version 1 is backward compatible. We bumped to version 2 because a change in crtbegin.o that has broken the compatibility. Version 2.1 will be backward compatible with version 2.0

@all

Thanks a lot for all donations!

I've just made a small video to show it on QEMU (with crash included at the end.. :D)

After years of silence, a new version of the Odyssey Web Browser is being developed for AmigaOS4, reigniting hope for modern web browsing on our beloved platform. The first AmigaOS4 port of Odyssey was originally made by Roman kas1e Kargin, based on the MorphOS version of the browser. Later, a more modern AROS version, created and maintained by Krzysztof deadwood Śmiechowicz, was actively worked on by George walkero Sokianos to improve compatibility and build support for AmigaOS4.

Hope we can release an alpha version soon

No you can use also newlib programs

Those chips can be used with libftdi

finally! Well done mate!

PFtp is the best one

Are you using g++ when linking? Otherwise if you are using gcc you have to add -lstdc++

Unfortunately I have never been able to get it to work... It had 2 card. A radeon rx and an intel. It is an HP one
now that laptop is used by my son..

I think it is stalled. Clib2 is used for roadshow and all Olaf's software. So if they are working I think he have no needs to change or improve it

Which problem you have with current clib2?

And you can buy it for few euros here: https://ko-fi.com/s/5e85ab431a

Thank you!

It depends from the size of the case but of course it could be inserted into an old pc case for example. However you need an USB cable connected to an USB port too

After some weeks finally Waffle is almost complete.
Waffle, allows AmigaOS4 users to read old Amiga floppy disks. A task that was previously impossible due to the incompatibility of modern hardware with floppy drives without external hardware like Waffle.

I've compiled a lot of software with ImGui. It is working very well under Gl4es

@FlynnTheAvatar

If you are not using the latest gcc11 we provide in AmigaLabs with fixed cpu switches most probably that could be the problem

Open source? In amiga land??? This should be a fake news...
