Regarding MUI, I asked one of the MorphOS devs because the software (68k) does not work with Zune, answer was not his problem but problem for the Aros devs. Geit mentioned not supporting other platforms because of this. It is wrong attitude, it might not be a problem when a MorphOS program is not running anywhere else but it is a problem for MorphOS when software from other platforms is not ported to MorphOS because of the mentioned incompatibilities.
FrankenMUI is not a port. Stupid features were added like hell to FrankenMUI and MorphOS is the problem?
If I want to clone some API to make my system compatible to something else, then rule #1 is to not add any features as this will make my API incompatible.
So, as we know/learned FrankenMUI got new features to make it "better". This means FrankenMUI was intentional made incompatible
to not support porting stuff
from AmigaOS
to MorphOS.
So from day one there was no will to keep FrankenMUI kompatible for multi platform coding on AmigaOS4 side. And again the MorphOS Team is blamed! Nice!
Thats the problem with OpenSource. You lose control and create incompatible branches.
