Nice a very good explanation.. thank you for that

So is it now time for new updates of all the x11 ports? :)

@wizzard_o

You don't need to burn this release on to a cd/dvd just unpack it ram read the guide then run the installer and end with a cold reboot

RWO

@all

newlib.library is not part of the SDK, so a new SDK won't help here

but there is support files for newlib in the sdk but don't confuse them with the library.

Nice article but one question did the usb adapter work with OS4?

RWO

@Rogue

That looks really great :)

Found any bugs in Python while porting Blender?

How complete is Blender and how stable is it?

@Raziel

Yes there was a poll about possible future bounties but none is choosen yet.

But we can hope that it gets a bounty plus a willing coder :)

Ohh forgot to anser the cpu usage..

An active window takes almost none cpu time as it waits for user input from either keyboard or mouse. An active window sometime lisents for Intuition Ticks and that can take a (very) small bide of the cpu time.

An Inactive window dont get the ticks so there is no cpu usage as it wait.

One execption is if the programmer adds Timers the chould use a little cpu time like running a Clock in the window or so or updating a gif anim in a browser window.

If you take mui as an example which uses ticks.. In the old days there were a MUI DNetC Frontend and running it all night you chould see the diffrents in numbered of claculated rc5 units if the window was active or not.

But mostley gui's dont take any notisable cpu time.

@Raziel

No WxWidget is the same as Raction, MUI or Gadtool for that matter, its not a front end.

A front end is a window with buttons made from on of the above mention.

I ask on Rosetta bessage board if the client chould run without and they say no.. so to do a CLI version we have to strip down the frontend plus the client. It proberly chould be done but I prefere to do the WxWidget system and port it proberly.

RWO

@Outcast

Yes having Rosetta for OS4 whould make me start crunching again.

I dont know if the client can run without Boinc and Boinc need WxWidget for a possible port to os4.

RWO

@Helge

You do know that it is Hyperion that is Developmening the Classic version and not the fokes behind SAM440 ?

So how can they release it when its not finish?

RWO

@ikir

Good news for SAM440.. I see this as a small quality stamp.

RWO

@Curty

This is really sweet.. can't wait to get the new TN with skin support.

RWO

@All

Look what my last two days of coding have brought me.

RWO :)

@Lecta

okey that is fair enough.. people always got get the small things like 'Properly' and 'dont quote me on this" and so on.

RWO

@ikir

Confirmed by who?

I as a beta tester and OS4 developer don't know it!!

RWO

@swoodall

I really doubt that this is really usefull as look at the settings out there, there are to many misspelling of a simple setting like 'Interrupt'... on the other hand the type of gfx card to do beleve they managed to communicate the rigth type.

RWO

@spotUP

I have taken a small break from my current project.

And have looked at Allegro for some hours today and yesterday, and rigth now I have made my first compile of every thing.

here is the proof. http://www.rwo.dk/allegro.jpg

What is needed now is all the diffrent drivers for mouse/keyboard/graphics/music and so on.

My guesss is that I'm 1/3 of the way now.

As this is a side project I cant give any deadline.

Just wanted to inform you.
