as we discovered with beos, gcc 2.95 support is a bit hit and miss. Though I beleive the main issue there was g++, even so I fear 2.95 is too primative and is almost 14 years old at this point. > > There are loads of patches here: > https://github.com/cahirwpz/m68k-amigaos-toolchain > > There are an excessive number and I have no idea which are relevant. That is terrifying, I really do think that if they want continuing compiler support they need to look at a modern gcc version or a clang port. Alas wishing does not make it so, being pragmatic, if there is a "cannonical" cross toolchain for the target I might be persuaded to put it on the CI as long as we can "package" it under /opt/netsurf correctly so builds are repeatbale.

I pushed the rebuild on the CI so we should be able to get a build through in an hour or so. I also enabled the target for most of the libraries, as expected the netsurf build itself does not yet work but when you are ready let me know whats needed and I will turn it on. > > Chris > > -- Regards Vincent http://www.kyllikki.org/
