Right, that was it, thanks!

Yesterday I discovered some strange behaviour in MUI and reported about it here: http://muidev.de/ticket/434 However, as it turned out, the bug is not in MUI but in OS4 because everything application shows the behaviour on OS4. Basically, it's this: When using ISO 8859-1 charset, the character 0xa6 ...

Right, but unfortunately, this is actually rather small. The lion's share is taken up by libpng and libjpeg and those don't seem to be available as shared libraries.

That's too bad. If it had been possible I would have been able to reduce executable size by 1 MB like on MorphOS where we have shared libraries like jfif.library, z.library and png.library that are part of the OS.

I have a clib2 project. To reduce its executable size I'd like my project to dynamically use SOBJS:libpng.so instead of statically linking it against libpng. Is this possible? Or can those shared objects only be used in newlib projects? Specifically, I'm looking to use libpng.so, libjpeg.so, and lib...

Consider the following code: SystemTags("echo hello", SYS_Output, 0, SYS_Input, 0, SYS_Asynch, TRUE, SYS_UserShell, TRUE, NP_StackSize, 32768, NP_Priority, 0, NP_Path, 0, TAG_DONE); On AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS this will print "hello" to the host program's stdout. On AmigaOS 4, howev...

So I can query the states of the DTR and RTS status bits using SDCMD_QUERY on serial.device but is it also possible to set/clear the states of those bits? I don't see anything in RKRM or autodocs... anyone on here who can tell more? Tks & merry Xmas!

No, it's a wide char issue. Seems like the OS4 gcc doesn't support wide chars at all. Let's hope they can fix it.

I had some very strange behaviour until I noticed that this was caused by the new APPDIR: feature which I didn't know about. Is there any way to disable it? I've currently saved an empty file as ENVARC:APPDIR to make it go away but of course that is a rather brute force solution. Maybe there is a mo...

Thanks. I don't need threads or dynamic linking so it should be fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I tried both the oldest (18/02/17) and latest (29/01/18) of the packages from your link but they both don't work. Here is what I get: In file included from /dh1/Programmieren/adtools-os4-20170218-37...
