For some experiments I intend to run I needed a costum Ambient and so I crabed the sources from the CVS and build my own (100% fresh and pure MorphOS-SDK on 100% fresh and pure MorphOS2.5) but ran into some problems.

After installing the extra files demanded by the makefile it wotked o.k sofar, but resizing Ambinet-windows resulted in GFX-trash (looks like the width of some blit isn't updated with the resize).

On further investigating it turned out that the default is to build MorphOS1.4 compatible binaries (USE_LEGACY 1), but disabling that led to errors:

<proto/cgxdither.h> MIA
IECLASS_EXTRAWKEY not defined
dl_BannedDeviceNames no such member in struct
-lmemblock MIA

Kronos: sorry that my post won't be helpful at all but I'm just wondering, what is the point of builiding Ambient?

solved on IRC. :)

@pampers

To get my nick into the titlebar (obviously)

Maybe we could do with something like the screen title format bit of...

Just sayin'...

It's not up to ambient to do that, though. :)

Kronos: could be done by statline much easier ;)

Note to myself:

Don't try to be funny on morphzone ......

Take it easy m8

Hi Kronos.

I tried to compile Ambient for some experiment too and encountered a similar problem.
So what was the solution for lack of proto/cgxdither.h ?

You can always regenerate proto/cgxdither.h using cvinclude.pl found in the SDK (assuming you have got #?.fd and clib/cgxdither_protos.h file).

@Itix:

Thanks for cvinclude.pl tips. I do not have these files (fd and protos). I'm using the latest SDK.
