Hi Chris,
the main difficulty is that I have no way that I know of, of compiling
for Amiga to check my work;
This may help, if you have the time and patience required to try it:
http://utilitybase.com/article/show/2007/06/23/231/Installing+an+AmigaOS+...
one more branch that I have yet to properly check for Amiga
compatibility is search branch, involving a similar migration of
functions from riscos/amiga to core;
so the best would be for you to check that both branches compile for
Amiga, possibly debug the Amiga compile for search branch, possibly
patch the full save branch?
Search compiles with a small patch (attached). Text search works -
don't know about the web search, does that need some platform code?
Full save compiles once the duplicate code is removed and the new
functions added (diff attached), but it only saves the Inventory with
one entry - nothing else. I haven't put anything in the new
functions though.
As, in the full save branch, I simply avoided touching the Amiga
branch
at all, recognising the difficulty I was in in search branch; when I say
'needs merger in view of added core functionality' that's really a
question of code optimisation, it should work untouched; longer term
though it's a case of 'rewiring' the Amiga front to the changed core
functions
No, it doesn't. I'll have a look and see if I can get it working.
Regards
Chris
