scout: new os4 version

@All
This is attempt to fix old scout source code to work correctly on latest os4 compiling with latest os4 SDK and getting rid of all old-incompatibily stuff.

To make new recompile i get rid of USE_INLINE totally, replaced all memory stuff on proper allovectags/etc, get rid of all old DOS things in favor of new ones, removed depending on SDI headers, and get rid of old clib2 in favor of newlib, etc.

There is current version if you want to try this out:

There also some things which worth to be changed probably too : this is Expansion (as they all Zorro based initially, at least it can list PCI, but "more" button is for Zorro only). Then Patches, as this one only implemented for OS3 and use old SetFunction, and i do not know if it worth at all, as it even on os3 didn't list all patches, but only some which were set by some specific ways.


So, if anyone need it , plz feel free to bug-report about

Do you have any bugs to report and step-by-step reproduce so i can try to reproduce it with scout from 2006 and the new one ?

Thanks !

Hi kas1e

Thanks for your work, I'll check it out this weekend.

Not currently. I tend to trigger the crashes while just playing with Scout, pressing different buttons and seeing what it does. I've never bothered to write any of them down (or even see if they're reproducible) as there was nobody maintaining the program to investigate them.

I'll play with it some in the coming days and see if I can stumble across any of the crashes again.

@kas1e
first of all, great that you're updating Scout.

I tested it and found that my computer completely freezes when I click the System button in Scout. No Reaper, but a complete freeze.

My system:
X5000/20 with RX580

@McFly
Probably forgot to install this identify.library from libs (both library itself and .l.main with it) ? But yeah, if it freezes, it mean it shouldn't of course, and probably should take relevant library from libs inside of scout dir. And we need this one be os4native imho too , if there is sources somewhere .. Thanks for report, will check!

@kas1e

Not a stright port, but a replica:

Nice work - good to see old Scout again .

I found a little thing in the Libraries window.

Example for reproducing:

1. Open Libraries window.
2. Click on the first line in the library list.
3. Click on the Functions button.
4. Click Exit.
5. Click on the next line in the list.
6. Now it doesn't show the name of the library, but "*** ldFunction() NOT IMPLEMENTED ***".

It's not just the first line, any line and its following one will do.

Best regards,

Niels
