68k build only ever had the "new" C library. Also I don't remember if I ever made contrib available, but if I did, it also was compiled with "new" C library.

68k build is currently only for testing purposes so, there won't be any specific updates to it at this time.

@deadwood - Hello,

Here we go with next iteration. You know the drill ;)

Reference ISO: https://www.axrt.org/download/aros/v0/AROS-20211128-1-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

First ISO moves us to 20211214 code base. There is only one notable change here, new C library. It's a big change though and essentially requires retesting all software to find out regressions.

Here is D01 ISO: https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20211214-D01-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

The ISO contains core, contrib and Odyssey re-compiled to use the new C library. Big thanks to terminills for sharing his build machine which speeds up Odyssey build 2.5x times.

If you are integrating this ISO into your distribution and installation (so if you have "old" files), you need to delete some of them. I attach a script that shows which files to delete. Without deleting these files, the test results will be invalid. Note that deleting these files will make old Odyssey to stop loading. Best to keep two installations - reference and new system.

The most visible problems you can encounter after integrating is that some software will stop loading because stdc.library, stdcio.library or posixc.library is missing. Note that only software coming from AROS ISO should be using these libraries. The solution it to update the software with the version on the D01 ISO. If it happens that 3rd party (download from archives) software is reporting need for those libraries, be sure to let me know which.

Have fun :)

deadwood excuse me a question, I would like confirmation that also on your Build AROS 68x had the same change, that is it was compiled with the new C library, and if there is a Contrib 68k compiled with the C library, thanks

deadwood I finished, if I didn't miss anything, found no problem running all the rest of the Applications present on AROS One 2.4 (c library)
Found only small Stack problem with MPlayer "only" for MPG format, to run I set in Toolypes Icon a Stack of 50,000, all other video formats .MP4, .VOB. .MOV, 3GP, WMV, FLV, VOB, FLI, ASF, FLC no problem with the 8,192 stack.

Also tested new versions of Loview, ProTrekkr and Control Sonos (now also on AROS x86, requested by me from developer)

Ok, I understand. At some point these packages will be updated in AROS tree, but not at this point.

deadwood, TextEditor.mcc is old, some applications require a more updated version, I had to replace your library with the one distributed on aminet:

@AMIGASYSTEM

Can you tell me more or less far are you with testing third party applications? 25%/50%/75%?

Ok thanks, in any case with StackAttack I have never received any errors si Stack, without StackAttack on the other hand it often happens that a program requires a higher Stack, on OS3, almost never the low stack does generate a Guru, but only warning requests.

Reading the description, StackAttack does not set the right stack for a given program. It just increases the default stack values that are present in the system for all processes (user and system ones).

On AROS you can change default stack for Shell via Stack command, but we are missing a Prefs program that allows setting default stack for programs started from Wanderer. Right now default stack is 40960 for such programs.

Ok thank you, about the stack i had mentioned it a while ago, on Amiga OS3 there is a small application "StackAttack" that sets the right Stack automatically to run a progrmma.

The StackAttack archive includes the source (ASM), on my OS3.9 it works fine !

Try this version

NetBubble -> works for me, you need to set 1024000 stack

JetPac -> the game is broken, it is compiled with SDK from 2009 that had a bug in it and it only worked by luck. I will release a re-compilation.

As for application to use to know correct Stack -> there is no such application. You need to increase stack until you stop getting "Stack went out of limits" Guru.

On some games I have solved Stack errors by increasing the Stack!

Question: What application do you use to know the correct Stack?

On VICE (Emulator C64) I deleted some binaries that were going into Guru, C64 emulation is guaranteed by other binaries.

Thanks deadwood, regarding DOS programs, on AROS One I have a Folder named DOS-Tools which includes all DOS applications, each application has its associated Icon, when the icon is executed a Shell will show info on how to use the program, to MP3gain and TinySidSDL I have associated a small script which will give the same result, see screenshot.

MP3gain and TinySidSDL, can be used and will be replaced future when corrected

Ok, I located the source of problems with tinysid and mp3gain. Here is a bug report:

https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/issues/131

Since those tools are command line tools anyhow and the crash happens only when started from Wanderer, I won't be fixing this problem in this release.

@AMIGASYSTEM

For contrib Demos I created a bug report: https://github.co...issues/130

Mp3gain and TinySidSDL need 128000 of stack. If you run them from Shell, they will work correctly. When ran from Wanderer they will indeed show error about stack while this was not in in previous release. I need to investigate this.
