Release v41.5 of AxRuntime is now available.

It is a small, bugfix release.

AxRuntime v41.5 can be downloaded from:

https://axrt.org/downloads

Pretty Awesome seeing wanderer on debian bookworm!!

Github instructions work great. I couldn't get your .deb package to work as I'm not using your reference system (libjpeg8 I believe is only supported on ubuntu now).

One small problem for me was that I couldn't get ./Wanderer to start a second time unless I went through the configure setup, copy loader and then ./Wanderer again.

Output is;

<<INFO>>: AxRT 41.5
<<INFO>>: Using absolute paths.
<<INFO>>: RUNTIME_ROOT: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/axrt/4.0/
<<INFO>>: AXRTSYS     : ROOT:usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/axrt/4.0/
<<INFO>>: USERSYS     : ROOT:home/gavin/.axrt/
<<INFO>>: USERHOME    : ROOT:home/gavin/
<<ERROR>>: Runtime not found at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/axrt/4.0/
<<ERROR>>: Aborting...

So, I know why its not working, I just don't know how to fix it. No /axrt/4.0/ folders were created and I cant figure out what I need to put in them either :/
I didn't notice any errors during installation, if I did, I probably would have tried sudo or from root.
 

Help needed

@G-linx

I'm glad you liked it

Looking at your output, the runtime in started in "absolute paths mode". This is the default mode it works for example when installed from a .deb package.

In order for it to work in "relative path mode", you need this line

Code: [Select]

export AXRT_ROOT=<myrepo-absolute-path>/alt-runtimelinux-x86_64-d/bin/runtimelinux-x86_64/AROS

Reading from your explanation, you probably opened a new linux console window later to run Wanderer. In that case you need to execute this line each time you open a new console window.

[G-linx]

Brilliant!!
Made a #!/bin/bash and a .desktop file to get an AxRuntime icon on the desktop. A one click wonder!

Apart from Wanderer, there is also a collection of other applications you can use:

I for example use MPlayer daily on my system

..I ran into the libjpeg8 problem again. I tried git cloning but didn't get very far. I'll set up a LinuxMint 21 ssd to make it easier to get going and keep up with this

Google tells me that debian moved to libjpeg-turbo years ago, and ubuntu uses its own strategy to keep libjpeg8 going. But, if ubuntu moved to (only) libjpeg-turbo in the future would this mean all the packaged .deb files you (and hopefully many others) have already made will have to be re-configured all over again?

[deadwood]

Yeah, I guess so. In Linux world it looks more like every major version of distribution has all the packages re-build for it. That's unlike Amiga (and Windows) where binary backwards compatibility is kept. Have you tried intalling ubuntu's libjpeg8 package on debian? Maybe it can co-exist with what debian offers.

[G-linx]

I tried an ubuntu package but it took me in circles. Another google suggested enabling multi lib but as this is my main desktop machine and not really for experimenting on. But it really doesn't mater, Your creation is beautiful!
Once the community establishes our own back-end system you can can customize the heck out of it to suit your/community needs

Linux Mint install coming up later today for me

Once again I was late to the party, this time in realizing the potential of AxRuntime!

[deadwood]

Note that you can also run 64-bit AROS version of MPlayer on AxRuntime. You however need AxRuntime-version AROS Shell to do this (which might not work due to libjpeg), but this way you overcome problems. AROS MPlayer depends on AROS jpeg.library, not Linux library.

It's good to hear you are enthusiastic about AxRuntime

[G-linx]

Great!
I just realized that the acronym of an AxRuntime OS would be AxROS   

[magorium]

@G-linx:Actually it is AXRT or if you prefer: AxRTOS 

[G-linx]

I leave deadwood to cast his preference
