I am currently setting up Deadwoods cross development tools on ubuntu and rebuild.sh gives me two m68k core options. Where is the difference between them ? One is called classic.
following this: https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/

next question.. I found owb 1.9 sources which confuses me as hell.. OS4 has a 3.x version but I can't find the sources. Odyssey from Deadwood looks totally different (I don't mean Zune / UI but the code base itself). If I check 1.9 from here http://fabportnawak.free.fr/owb/src/ I can see that the Big and little endian stuff is handled as well as OS specific changes. My plan would be to add AROS m68k specific changes to get it running on virtual, fpga or ARM powered classics.

Now I am thinking to start from 1.9 source (for classics less is more anyway). Any thoughts ? I would put it on GitHub so if someone likes to dig through it you are welcome.

The OS4 versions are very old, on AROS OWB is much more advanced (also available in 64Bit), the current version is 2.1, version 2.5 is in the works.

If you want more detailed information on what is required or to discuss with deadwood, you should do so on this forum:
