New Port: Paho MQTT C and CuraEngine for AmigaOS4 (Developed with AI assistance)
Date 2026/1/22 17:41:44 | Topic: Software News
| Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some exciting news regarding a project I’ve been working on. I have successfully ported the Paho MQTT C library to AmigaOS4.
To be honest, I don’t consider myself a professional developer—I am still a beginner in many ways. However, I wanted to experiment with AI-assisted development to see if it could help bridge the gap for porting libraries to our platform. To my surprise, I managed to complete the Paho MQTT port in just 4.5 hours.
Progress & Testing
Environment: The entire development and compilation were done using QEMU/Pegasos2 emulation on a MacBook Air M4.
Results: I successfully compiled the included examples and connected to my local MQTT server running on a Raspberry Pi. I was able to publish topics without issues.
CuraEngine: Additionally, I spent about 1.5 hours porting CuraEngine 15.4.6. The command-line tool works correctly on my emulated AmigaOS4; I tested slicing both binary and ASCII STL files with success.
Call for Feedback
I am releasing the source code on GitHub. Since this was a fast-paced experiment heavily aided by AI, I would love for more experienced Amiga developers to take a look at the code. I am curious to hear your thoughts on the quality of the implementation and how the AI handled the Amiga-specific requirements.

I hope this can be useful to the community and perhaps spark a discussion on how AI can help us bring more modern software to AmigaOS4.
Best regards, Luca De Giovanni
