Wondering what you are using as posix reference, AFAIK there are three of various degrees of accuracy.

1) vbcc has a posix link library geared towards c99 not complete in any way.

2) GCC has got glibc (already geared heavily towards linux/hurd)

3) The Open Group

not geared to any specific hardware or OS.

The Open Group Posix Standard


Probably vbcc's is a likely candidate, they seem to progress with it.

@MamePPCA1
This is a bit of a longshot, but have you moved vba or renamed the program or the gui, you should check in APPDIR: if vba or VisaulboyAdvance (or the gui) is there then check if it is pointing to the current path, perhaps deleting the APPDIR: position so that you can run it again. remember if you are using the gui it might try to find the vba core program in the wrong place, and then it probably will fail to load correctly (a bit uncertain about how it works with APPDIR: or is that APP: ).

@MamePPCA1
isn't that one you mention the wrong one, vbagui is meant for vba
that would explain why the gui doesnt work well with visualboyadvance, download vba.lha and retry.

I just went looking around on the internet and noticed someone has made Heretic II run with tweaked Quake II engine
Heretic II Source Recreation project

And for those who love Star Wars KOTOR there are at least 2 projects to make a SCUMMVM project for running bioware's engine that was used by kotor and some other biodlare games (Available on github).

@edit
the two projekts for kotor etc is xorexos github A reimplementation of BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives)

reone github Game engine capable of running KotOR* and TSL*

* it is kotor I: and kotor II: The Sith Lords

@HunoPPC
What version(s) of DOOM 3 are supported, DOOM 3, DOOM 3: Resurection of evil and DOOM 3: BFG Edition. A bit uncertain about the differences I think BFG Edition invvolved support for VR and some rewriting/improvements, Resurection of Evil is a more DLC like upgrade but should also contain improvements in gameplay etc.

@kas1e
1) there is Warp2D, I think (Hans ?) Talked about Having that as a replacement for all 2D graphics, and it probably uses the same way to handle gfxcard memory.

@Raziel
AFAIU libdl.a and libdl.so all internally calls elf.library.kmod, it is simply to make ports easier, since you can use makefiles etc which uses -ldl for linux etc.

@Raziel

you should have a readme.md or something similar, but try --disable-gnome when invoking the configure scripts the help might be in the actual configure file.

@Raziel

if 'ram:test/' is what is seen then it won't create a new directory, since the end of what it sees indicates a already existing test directory and it will try to create "" on AmigaOS.
it IS stated clearly in the autodocs for CreateDir and CreateDirTree.

@Capehill
But it's 16-Bit Mode He requests Should he really need to use a palette, shouldn't he use type setRGB for the colors he need.
looks on the picture like a common RGB Format error, for instance ARGB versus ABRG (examples only), the screenmode prefs program should tell what it is (I think)?!

@kas1e

Try and put #define PATH_MAX 8192 after char buf[8192] then compile the test program.

@kas1e

As I understand it... No! it allocates memory for PATH_MAX which is set to 1024 (AFAIU) if you try to use it with a buf or size >1024 it will always fail.

@kas1e
don't know, but doesn't NGFS have larger PATH_MAX than SFS (perhaps 8192 compared with 1024), does newlib check FS and alter the PATH_MAX depending on FS in use?

IIRC 8192 is the new PATH_MAX for almost all os's out there now, but 1024 was perhaps old os'es like the amigaos with FFS.

@kas1e
If it is the new clib2 you must use the function EnableUnixPaths() early in the main function... or make that .unix folder to enable unix paths... is there something similar for newlib? Or for instance -lposix/-lunix?

@sTix
found gcc 12 at https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-12/changes.html
do note that there are changes especially for PPC, some C++-23 additions, and C2X additions, supports two new debug formats CTF (should be smaller, faster etc.) and BTF (only for linux kernel), anazlyzer got a workover, removed some bugs in c++ and libstdc++.

It should have been released in april, it is now at stage 4, so it most likely is tied to C++-23 for release of 12.1.

@kas1e

isn't it because it is linux paths, should newlib really understand linux paths (without additional libs and/or configs in code)?

@walkero

forgot to mention codesets.library available on os4depot
it is also available for 3.x, aros, morphos and os4.

@sTix
Has gcc 12 been released beyond the base release?

C++ is nearing 2023 release so gnu/gcc might wait for that to release 12.1 ?!

@salass00

GetDiskFontCtrl()
This call is not semaphore protected. This means that
several calls to this function and SetDiskFontCtrl()
might cause inconsistent results. The function will not
fail or crash, but the result might be near to useless
in a multitasking system.
This function should never be called by the average
user. Its sole purpose is to provide the font
preferences editor with data about the current diskfont
settings. It should not be called for other purposes.

@walkero

Why not use unilibdev 10.21 (os4 version only on aminet) or utf8.library one of those should work for you and then you van use utf8 text encoding and convert to/from iso codings.
