AwebPPC released : Comment 35 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by StAn on 16-Jun-2002 10:22 GMT | Just in case someone hasn't understood yet why a warpos port would be either too slow or very difficult to make:
since AWeb uses the Amiga OS a *lot*, and the Amiga OS is 68k code, a straight warpos port would mean that the executable would be ridden with 68k-PPC context switches. Such an executable would be slower than the 68k version.
The only thing that can "easily" be ported to warpos -AFAIK- are the image decoders, because they are external and the image decoding routine doesn't need to call OS functions all the time. And that has already been done by Tom Parker (at least the gif and jpeg decoders, I hope to get the png decoder someday :) ).
Non-programmers shouldn't complain when someone makes a port to xxx and not to yyy when they have no clue about the work involved in making so. Learning to code is an option, too ;)
