Quotes from the above links:

"#AmigaZeux is proud to present new OS4Emu, now with new native newlib.library"

"2.0 (13.07.2008)
- Enhanced newlib.library [...]
1.9 (05.09.2006)
- Added newlib.library [...]
Newlib.library allows running most programs requiring newlib.library"

"Currently the following library or device interfaces are supported: [...]
newlib.library (new in 1.9) 3.11"

And one more:

"OS4Emu 2.0 is released [...]. [...] The most important changes are:
- Enhanced newlib.library"

Was this some kind of #AmigaZeux joke?

LOL!!

I have just seen on aminet a new version 2.0 of OS4Emu. Will it or not need some fix, install script, readme or other ? I was going to say let's try it. But with what ? A list of programs supported please.

That's the 2008 release (see last link in comment #26) recently uploaded to Aminet because no release > v1.8 was uploaded there before.

We need a clear guide of how use this emulation and what files needs and which OS4 programs and games runs, because it is difficult.

It's easy. You install the emu, you start Snoopium and try to run an OS4 program and then see which files are missing. You can get them from Aminet or os4depot. For shell tools you do not need much more, maybe some libraries. For GUI tools you need ClassAct/Reaction which is mentioned in the readme. You can download ClassAct from Aminet but it is older than the current Reaction on OS4. But in the end don't expect many programs will run because this is not a complete emu. And I think it is not needed anymore these days because for most programs we have good MOS programs anyway.

What about Qt?

What has Qt to do with OS4emu?

I guess he refers to the statement quoted above. In general he's right that there are also GUI tools for OS4 that don't use ReAction but Qt for instance, or MUI. MUI apps probably work via OS4Emu. I guess that Qt apps do not.
