Well I'm not Severin but I got mine without OS4 from a former beta tester. Over a year ago acube offered me a free copy for my maintenance work of the AROS port to Sam, which isn't progressing much since a year or so due to limited time.

Dunno, maybe different language design philosophy?

I'm sure you'll find more missing deletes or free() calls in nix software.

Usually, C or C++ runtime libs do not support garbage collection at all. Some good reading about this can be found here: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/

Or just google for: c++ garbage collector

IMHO a missing delete is always a bug, even on memory protected systems, as it can lead to leakage which may become a problem in long running tasks.

@alfkil

I have one question whether you build on AOS or you're cross compiling the thing? Is it at all possible to cross compiler qt, IRC it was not in the past.

I have tracked complete owb svn with git. If needed I can push it to some public git hosting site.

Yet another option: add code to slb to load and start parthenope boot loader. I'm going to try this the other way around.

Well isn't that the major problem? Sticking to a project even though it becomes a drag? I think it was Mike Abrash that said "The first 90% of a project are fun, the second 90% aren't".[/quote]

Do not forget that what comes after the first release,
maintenance, is the third and most important 90%.
Here you can show to your customers that you're
worth their investment.

@thread

Both AmigaInc. and Hyperion talked about PS3. The Cell is something new, something that wasn't here before, something that might be considered as the "legal heir to the throne" of the original amiga, hardware wise, by people remembering the Amiga as a machine that could do things no other was able to do and as the prime games machine of its time. Hyperion is a games company how much is an SDK for the PS3? This is the best and biggest opportunity they will ever get. What else are they waiting for? Poor embedded speced ppc boards? There will be at most a few thousand ones, nothing were real money is made of, ask BBRV or Eyetech, they know.

Imagine the publicity they could get if they manage to have their OS on that machine within the european launch date and even with full access to the hardware. This is what they need. And then compare against the alternatives that anounce and anounce and talk and talk.

Think big.
