Subject: UADE Plugin for Mozilla, Firefox ...

Hello UADE People !

I am planning on coding a plugin using UADE for Mozilla.
There are a lot of oldskool sites out there like http://www.back2roots.org/
that have tons of AMIGA musics. But first downloading
the ZIP file and then running UADE or DeliPlayer is not really an
option. 

This plugin should run on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.

Has anybody tested compiling UADE on Win32 ? Maybe
with CYGWIN ?

CU

Does any UADE developer even have a Windows operating system? I don't.. But my opinion about cygwin is 'scheisse!'.

@shd:

Cygwin is not "scheisse". It makes the porting of
OpenSourceSoftware using hardcore LINUX/UNIX 
functions easier.

It would interest me if anybody has succeeded in
compiling UADE on Win32, this or that way.

I'm of course exaggerating, but in practice it lacks many important features (such as good shared mem), the namespace is broken, and it's slow.

$ gcc -o foo foo.c
$ cp foo bar
cp: cannot stat `foo': No such file or directory

I ran into this problem once when I tried to compile a derivation of UADE for a friend's cygwin at work. The gcc creates a file named 'foo.exe' even if I asked for 'foo'.

It's awful in many other respects too, which I don't remember right now :-)

Fortunately there's coLinux ( http://colinux.org ). That project should have hope.

There have been some people that have done it.

Woah! CoLinux looks pretty cool.
Is it already usable ?

No idea. Ask them =) The theory is just so good..
