- Version 43.0 of ixemul.library was released yesterday and uploaded to
- aminet's "new" directory on wuarchive, so it should appear there and
- on the mirrors soon. It is also available from pub/ade/updates on
- ftp.ninemoons.com. Here is some info from the .readme file:
-
- ============================================================================
- This is ixemul.library release 43.0, a shared library that makes it possible
- to compile and run most Unix programs under AmigaOS with almost no changes.
- IXemul is part of the ADE (Amiga Developer's Environment), a community
- effort to produce a complete development environment that is stable,
- available in source, and completely self-hosting. See the ADE readme file
- at ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/ade/README for more details about ADE.
-
- This release of IXemul integrates Jeff Shepherd's networking code. If
- ixnet.library (included) is installed then ixemul.library will use the
- networking functions from the ixnet.library, instead of the default dummy
- implementation. Ixnet.library works with AS225 and with AmiTCP. It
- supports both clients and daemons. A program that uses networking functions
- is completely shielded from the AS225 and AmiTCP differences by
- ixnet.library, which will take care of all the details for you. That means
- that there is no longer any need to provide two different binaries, one for
- AS225 and one for AmiTCP. Furthermore, it is relatively easy to add support
- for other network packages. Thanks Jeff!
-
- This release also contains new stackchecking and stack extension code,
- thanks to Matthias Fleischer, and support for the freshly completed port of
- GDB (the GNU Debugger). Thanks Hans!
- ============================================================================
-
- Note that a working version of gdb should be available in the
- pub/ade/updates directory sometime tomorrow (Sunday).
