For people new to AxRuntime, here are some useful tutorials:

Haven't had time to work on AxRuntime in last two years, but now I managed to find some time and improve bsdsocket.library to make AxRuntime run Amelinium correctly

Glad it works for you and you find it useful. The plan is to develop it further once we get AROS 64-bit off the ground.

@deadwood:

I'm trying owb 3.0 on AxRunTime right now; I gotta say it's pretty stable and very fast.

I'm also running mplayer (aros version) on axruntime , while I surf the net. It has a very nice feeling. I hope you continue improving axruntime; it's a pragmatic, no-compromise way to run Aros apps. In addition to that, amiga-ifying Linux is lots of fun. :-)

Release v41.12 of AxRuntime is now available.

This is a major upgrade, based on AROS ABIv11 20241102-1 core, bringing two major improvements:

• Support for running under Windows with WSL2
• Support for running AROS 64-bit binaries requiring network

For full list of changes, please check here: https://axrt.org/release-notes?id=axruntime-v41-12

AxRuntime v41.12 can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/releases/tag/AxRT_41.12
https://axrt.org/downloads

This version is also needed for the upcoming release of Odyssey 2.1 64-bit.

@jma

Adding Arexx and more libraries is on my TODO, so this will eventually happen. With regards to themes, you can change them pretty similar to how you do in AROS. If you have at least version 41.11, check SYS:S/User-Startup for details. Shell-Startup is also present in SYS:S. If you have additional questions, let me know.

@deadwood:

You should also add arexx and xadmaster to axruntime; they may be needed by some apps which may be ported to axruntime in the future (eg. amimodradio).

In the youtube videos, I see that you're using a theme from Icaros desktop. This means that decoration works; is it possible to change theme ?

Also, normally, aros shell can be customized by using the file "shell-startup" in SYS:S directory. Is it also the same in axruntime ?

Hi,

Just wanted to share that AxRuntime has been noticed by editor of osnews.com

https://www.osnews.com/story/140225/package-amigaos-software-for-linux-and-windows-with-axruntime/

Release v41.5 of AxRuntime is now available.

It is a small, bugfix release.

AxRuntime v41.5 can be downloaded from:

https://axrt.org/downloads

Release v41.4 of AxRuntime is now available. Main feature is that interacting with Intuition windows (moving, resizing, etc) now happens via Intuition gadgets and there is no longer window decoration duplication. Checkout this video to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pvu76Lmp0Q

Hello,

I wanted to share with you something I've been working on for some time. The project is called AxRuntime and it allows re-compiling existing Amiga/MorphOS/AROS software as Linux applications.

The runtime allows developers to continue developing Amiga applications in unmodified way while at the same time being able to utilize modern development tools available on Linux like IDEs, debuggers, profilers, etc.

This solution lets developers compile their Amiga API-based applications as Linux binaries. Once the features are implemented, tested and optimized using the runtime on Linux, developers re-compile their applications for their Amiga-like system of choice and perform final quality checking.

Applications created with AxRuntime can be distributed to the Linux community giving developers a much broader user base and a possibility to invite developers from outside general Amiga community to contribute to the application.


Here are some videos of AROS applications running under Linux:
