Flamingo - Plus/4 emulator for the Amiga
Motorola 680x0 sources readme

Release date: 29.12.2003

Intro
-----
 After five years of (not so) constant development I decided to give up the
680x0 version of Flamingo Commodore Plus/4 emulator. In the background of
this decision was the fact that AmigaOS moved on to the PowerPC platform, the
new AmigaOS4.0 supports only PowerPC processors, thus the 680x0 compatibility
achieved trough emulation.

 The upcoming versions of Flamingo will be prepared for PowerPC and
AmigaOS4.0. I know there are people standing on other Amiga compatible
platforms and I don't want to deny from them the possibility of inventing
this emulator. I have no time and too much intention of doing it myself, take
this as an invitation for the further development.

Requirements for compiling
--------------------------
 Before you start the compiling you will need a few components:

 1. the VBCC package for at least Motorola 680x0, but if you want to compile
    the PowerPC video drivers then you will need the PowerPC version also,

 2. the make tool from Aminet called "AmigaE Build", you can find it
    here: dev/e/ebuild.lha,

 3. the OS3.x system include files for assembly and C development.

 You will also need phxass, but it is included in the VBCC 68k package.

 Install everything whereever you want, don't forget to check the docs!

 Includes must be reachable trough the assign "Include:".

Compiling the sources
---------------------
 After depacking the sources you can simply compile it by starting "build"
command from the main directory.

 If you got errors check the paths, assigns and the compiler names in
".build" makefile.

 You can build a final version (w/o debug information) by the target
"flamingofinal" and you can rebuild the video drivers by the target "videos".
