WinAros Light Released
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 28th Mar 2006 21:21 UTC, submitted by John Holmes
Amiga & AROS WinArosLight is a preinstalled AROS on a HD image, that runs under Windows using QEmu. WinAros Light targets developers, using AmiDevCpp to develop AROS programs. WinArosLight in combination with a program like ultraiso is a nice test environment for those programs. WinArosLight uses the latest AROS snapshot. Other than all that, it's just a really easy way of testing AROS. Download it from this page, 'WinArosLight.exe'.

The idea of cross-developing across all flavours of Amiga OS's sounds great. Found a reason use windows !

Just tried it, works nicely! I'm happy that Alternative OSes are becoming more and more usable; AROS team job is awesome.

It image works in Linux too under qemu, if anyones interested.

Use wine or 7zip to run the exe and extract it's contents, enter the directory and run:

qemu -L ./bios -m 48 -boot d -cdrom aros.iso -hda harddisk.img

No need to use this image, under Linux, as you can directly use the "hosted" flavour of AROS, which natively runs under Linux, as a process.

ahh, I remember those fond days of Amiga programming using devpac and SAS/C, seeing something like this so many years later is kind of funky. Aros is making slow but steady progress it seems, just hoping they manage to add some kind of memory protection along the way, I've had enough 'Guru Meditations' to last me a lifetime ;D
