After succeeding this afternoon with both, installing the SDK and porting "akGIF.datatype.elf" I'm now looking for reliable beta testers for this and future MorphOS projects. If you don't mind to spend some time on real-life testing and bug search, please drop me an email. Thanks!
(the MorphOS version does by no means exclude any AOS4 version for the future - I just want to focus on one single platform for now)

akGIF.datatype.elf betatesters : Comment 27 of 32 | ANN.lu |

The WarpDatatypes are also redundant under this aspect, AFAIK.
But of course you are correct.
The main reason why I am starting with these is, that I know that they work fine under AOS 68k and Amithlon. This way I can exactly find out which bugs and problems are caused by MorphOS (and there were quite some yet!) and which are the fault of my datatypes. This will lead to a stable, common "datatype skeleton".
The same skeleton also will be the basis for SView5/SVObjects porting.
There's also a chance, that my datatypes will be an improvement over the existing ones, but for this judgement it is too early and it is of course not up to me ;-) |
