deadwood a question ! I noticed that the files of the Contrib have different sizes, for example the Libs folder, I assume it's the difference in the compilation, should I overwrite those of the Build ?

I also noticed that there is still a "duplicate" Catalogs, there are "catalan" and "catalonian", Catalonia is an "Autonomous Community of Spain".

In the Demo folder of the Buid, folder MCC_NList, the demo "NList-Demo" crashes WMware and Guru on AROS Hosted

Catalan is a language of Spain (not Spanish, another Latín Dialect), Catalonianian and similar are the same...

Where can I try any Linux Hosted for ArosX86?
Is there any link to just Download and make a try?

They are built from exactly same sources, but for sake a clarity, please always use file that came on the ISO instead the one from Contrib.

I'll fix that when synchronizing translations after the release. catalonian will be removed.

I tried compiling "raudio" see attached aros archive link, with AROS One 32Bit the compilation was successful, and the obtained raudio binary works fine.

On AROS One 64Bit (both Vmware Windows, and Linux Hosted) I have errors with both GCC 6.5.0 and GCC 10.5.0, although the errors are different, see the 2 screenshots

https://archives.arosworld.org/?function=showfile&file=development/library/raudio.i386-aros.zip

The archive does not contain source for the library only sources for the player - that is why you are getting error "cannot find -lraudio'

Also, please don't do any actions is RAM:Clipboards. This is a system directory used for copy-paste and working with files there might confuse system. If you want to use RAM, use RAM:T which is a temporary directory in RAM.

I checked the source. Changes to Poseidon USB class and camd.library are already integrated into AROS. The only thing was to compile usbmidi file. Please find it attached. Note: it's a straight recompilation - I have no way to testing if it will work.

Thanks, I knew the Clipboards were for cut-paste, I always used the Clipboards also on Amiga for various tests, now since it could confuse the system I will avoid using it.

Regarding the problem with the compilation of the Raudio Player, on AROS One 32Bit it seems that the compilation was successful, although there is an error that did not compile.

The compiled Raudio track seems to work fine (See screenshot), can I consider it correct to put it on ArosArchive ?

We don't have software to test it, I'll try to insert the MIDI cable to see if it detects it

When I insert the USB cable it gives me DH0 illegal access error

It worked because the archive contains pre-compiled libraudio.a. If you want to compile this for 64-bit, you need to ask Serk to create a 64-bit version of raylib.
