Hi all

Following on from the chat at
https://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... id=123203#forumpost123203, I've tried to get the simplegit and libgit2 work that I'd done into a state so other people might be able to help out too. The repos are at

https://github.com/billyfish/simplegit

and

https://github.com/billyfish/libgit2/tree/amigaos4_port

The additional instructions for how to set it up with my changes are at https://github.com/billyfish/simplegit/blob/master/build.md.

The piece of work that needs to be done next is how to implement mmap () and munmap (). My memory of this is a bit hazy but I think that there are only one or two times where mmap () is used to write to a file and I was checking if they used in a threaded situation or whether we could assume only one thread using it a time which would again make it easier.

Basically if anyone wants to get involved, you're very welcome!

If it's file backed mmaps only, one file at the time with no msyncs, it should be straight forward. If it's more complicated than that, a fake implementation will probably be very inefficient. It would be great if someone took the time to do it, it's probably a pretty common porting problem. My guess is that this could be a good candidate for trying out the OS4 extmem feature.
