Because Reaction is closed source and come many years after MUI for amiga OS 3.5 and because reaction miss lots features (at least on 68k) most programs use MUI GUI, because it offer nicer look and more features as Reaction. netsurf MUI GUI was do from itix.But it does now not work, because of lots changes in netsurf. for the OWB Web browser is the MOS Version with MUI port to OS4 too. http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=32847&forum=32&start=0&viewmode=flat&order=0 AROS 68k miss currently FPU task switch support is miss, and there is no 16 or 32 bit screenmode.only 24 bit and 8 bit screenmode.but AROS 68k build grow very fast because it seem planed to release a new 68k Hardware (Natami) in some time. Artur test netsurf 68k on AROS 68k some days ago, it start but then come a error no 32 bit or 16 bit screenmode find.and 24 bit do netsurf sdl not support. but when there is a 32 bit or 16 bit screenmode and FPU, you can use amiga 68k AROS.I can post if that happen here. or you use X86 or ARM AROS for test and compile later to 68k. > As an exercise[1] to remind myself of the magic required to build a > cross compilation toolchain from scratch, I started with creating a > toolchain[2] capable of building binaries for AmigaOS 3.

Because Amiga OS3 is the only amiga OS target that is in the GCC main compiler source you can very easy build your compiler self, by download GCC sources, for your prefered linux if you need a newer version. binutil is old, here amiga target is remove in mainsource, but because its only a assembler and linker this doesnt matter. all GCC can work with that. clib2 does not work good, it miss lots functions. the most advanced and fastest (because of memory alloc speed and filesystem) is ixemul.library this is used for the netsurf SDL build. > J. > > 1.
