Hi All, The release is now official. Thanks to everyone who participated in testing and made the final release better! I will start annoucing release on various forums still today. I will also open up a new thread for support related posts. Please don't post any more in this thread.

It hanged but eventually it passed, I just wanted to confirm if I didn't messed up in the process

During the build process, several external sources are downloaded. These sources are downloaded only once and cached for future use. If it happens that there is some network problem during download, the download will fail. Your first option is to repeat the last process step and possibly the download will work (if the network issue was temporary). If that does not work, look into the log and you will see URLs there from where the build process tries to download files. Use this URL to download files manually via browser and then put the files into portssources directory. You might also need to delete some temporary files in portssources directory with names similiar to ones you downloaded. We will extend the tutorial to cover the case of failed download.

Using VMWare the Ubuntu filesystem can share with Windows 10 with drag-n-drop. But I'd like to try WSL to see if it's faster at compiling the source code.

Damn, that nvidia driver for linux is massive!! update: got stuck at: Fetching gcc-6.5.0 ... fetch.sh: waiting for process with PID: 93096 to finish downloading...

Interested in your feedback. One advantage of WSL is that Linux-side filesystem is directly available from Windows side.

@deadwood That looks very interesting. I have a few Windows 10 PC's (and a few Amigas/AROS PC's). I'll give it a try. I wonder If WSL will be faster at compiling than using a virtual machine.

Hi, if anyone is interested in doing software development for AROS and you are a Windows user, here is a cool tutorial on how to setup your development environment in a few simple steps: [b][url]https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/[/url][/b] If you have additional question, post them in this thread.

I uploaded the package to archives

Thank you very much AMIGASYSTEM for thourough testing. I will then proceed with making the release.

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)

many thanks:)

Uploaded a new version which fixes the mouse pointer disappearing outside the window. Same url as above or available as a release here: https://github.com/hitchhikr/protrekkr

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: https://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_TextEditor-15.56

Thanks :)

Thank you

75% I should finish today !
