Hello,
After all the tumult with the sites we had last week(s) i was wondering what the current status is of the aspell port, the libusb progress, the depenency checks...
Basicly, i want some feedback ;)
Oh, and i'd like to see the aspell code in the CVS server :)
Kind regards

Progress has been slow this last week (a lot of work to do) but steady. I have mostly been doing pre-porting infrastructure work and expect to do so the next week too. This has already resulted in a contribution to clib2 and more in the pipeline.
If anyone knows of some specific functionality missing from clib2 (e.g. the "termios" interface) which would ease porting (except fork() !!) it might be an idea to mention it here so we can coordinate the porting effort from that end as well.

Great, liked your last contribution :-D

You should have a look at abc-shell - sourceforge.net/projects/abc-shell - there could be some nice functions there (look at amigaos.c), and there is also a working environ (environ.c) that should be usefull.

I will be sure to do so. I had already planned to do it later due to the mention of vfork()-like functionality implemented but might as well do it sooner rather than later.

The libusb is at a halt becourse its not possible work with the OS4's usb stack. Thomas Graff (usb stack author) is working on some API function so libusb can work but til then I cant do anything about it.

I see, maybe you could take a look at libwpd then? See what it does, wether or not it's portable

it depends on glib2 (glib2 has become a lot more structurized in the newer stable releases - glib-2.6.x), glib2 should be relative portable to AmigaOS4 - glib/gspawn.c needs to get ported, and gioamiga.c needs to get created... it needs iconv(), but GNU libiconv does compile out of the box, gettext is another thing, but my port should work... the rest should work out of the box, without much work (don't know about atomic.h as I am not really into asm).
It also depends on libgsf (GNOME structured file library), I have not looked at this one, but just checked, there is no fork ;-) Can't say more at the moment, as I am very busy :-( Just looked again... it needs libxml, zlib, but I think that the AmigaOS4 team has that only ported already :-)
About libwpd itself, does it look like it would like dlfcn.h - http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/dlfcn.h.html - for dynamical linking...
Just my few words

is it possible to start on sane until usb stack is ready to go?
