    This would not be a port. It would end as a rewrite, because of the so called depedencies.

    When porting FROM linux, ports often fail due missing linker/shared libs like GTK. While Amiga/MorphOS has tons of linux stuff like Freetype. exemul, png, jpeg and millions of other components to work with, ports are impossible due the lack of only a hand full others.

    Well, when porting Ambient and MUI TO linux you have mostly none dependencies to work with. Beside maybe jpeg and png stuff, but even there the more recent ports use less linux stuff and more MorphOS native components.

    Since Ambient is almost using every component available in MorphOS you "simply" have to port all these MorphOS components to Linux first.

    Hence why there is no Ambient port for AmigaOS4! It is because even AmigaOS lacks of many features Ambient utilises. And those Systems are quite close.

    So better keep you money and forget it. Not worth trying.
