Subject: writing a new slave for AmiNetRadio

Hello everyone,

I'm willing to write an aminetradio slave for uade, however, I'm completely lost regarding the way slaves work, and which parts I have to touch.

The aim is to make it communicate with AmiNetRadio via IPC - AmigaOS messages.

Can anyone give me some indications as for where I should start ? :)

Thanks everyone,

BTW, I heard I would have to make uade as a separate executable, that will be launched by the plugin, for GPL issues ? (as AmiNetRadio is not GPL)

Hehe, well the new threads answer my questions :)

I just wonder why shd seems to ignore me now, am I too annoying ? (I guess I am :)

Thanks for your great work shd :)

cheers

Because I'm tired of repeating myself on that issue. UADE2 infra is ready when it's ready. I've received questions on this issue for years from various. It's not annoying, it's frustrating.

I'm positive about current state of uade2, so you might want to look at how src/frontends/uade123 works. The protocol between frontend and uadecore is rather simple. Piru aka Harry Sintonen pointed out to me that using PIPE: device would be a simple way to do IPC on AmigaOS. Get the latest pre from URL mentioned in the other post.

It would certainly at least have to be separate executable, and that is the case with uade2 anyway. However, this is a hard question I can not give an answer about the GPL issue. This looks to me like a boundary case, but I don't know on which side ;)

shd : okay, thanks ever so much for all you do :) I completely understand your being frustrated of repeating the same thing over and over again - and the new thread you created answer my questions anyway. I was just wondering why you suddenly kept silent, but... It's not big deal anyway ;)

Thanks again :)
