AHI Prefs

[xenic]

Someone at Amigans.net is having a problem with AHI Prefs not finding muimaster.library. I'm sure he will resolve his problem by examining his system startup files. My question is "why is AHI Prefs still using an MUI user interface instead of Reaction?". I would have thought that all system programs would be Reaction by now.

I'm remembering a reaction based one in OS3.5 or 3.9.

Not sure either, but i think it was GadTools based.

In the AHI source code there is code for BGUI and ClassAct versions of the prefs program as well as the MUI version. I'm currently looking into updating the ClassAct code so that it compiles on AmigaOS 4.x.

That's a screenshot of the ClassAct AHI prefs compiled and running on AmigaOS 4.x.

The clicktab doesn't appear to be working ATM so that's something that I still need to look into.

@salass00

Over at amigans.net you posted an early version of your Reaction based prefs program.
If the source is available can't you just pick that up and go from there?

(as a side project of course)

Thanks. It's probably easy to over look such issues when the current version works but it would be nice for the AHI Prefs to be consistant with the rest of the system programs.

Just a small update:

I've been granted write access to the AHI SVN so that I'm now able to commit my changes directly into the SVN. I've just committed the current fixes so that AHI_CA can be compiled for AmigaOS 4.x from the SVN code.

Note that it still needs some work before it is in a state where it can be released as a replacement for the current AHI_MUI version.

In the meanwhile the current source code can be obtained using:
svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/arp2/ahi/ahisrc/branches/BRANCH_6 ahisrc-6

Nice

Thanks for the update

I fixed the problem with the clicktab not working.

I've uploaded a compile of the current version here for anyone who wants to test it:

Note that it includes debug information so the executable is larger than it would be normally.
