This is my attempt to produce an Oberon V4-Version for Systems running
Linux/GNU that closely resembles the
packages for Windows & Macintosh maintained by the Department for System Software at the
Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria.
For general Information about Oberon have a look at Guy Ladens fantastic Oberon Reference Site or browse through the Oberon Web Ring
(see below)
Oberon for Linux should properly be called Oberon for GNU/Linux systems,
since every Linux system uses a huge amount of GNU software.
To give credit to the people at GNU I'll use the term GNU/Linux throughout.
Have a look at
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
to see what it's all about.
Oberon for GNU/Linux will of course run on every Linux Distribution (Red
Hat, Debian, SuSE, etc.).
Release 1.3 contained a serious bug in the Garbage Collector and is known to
crash ;-), therefore I have updated glibc versions to 1.4.
libc5 Versions are no longer supported but may still be downloaded.
The Web Browser now supports tables.
A module for matrix calculations has been added (contribution from Jean F.
Soucaille)
The Debugger has been temporarily removed from the release.
This release is beta and I'll gladly accept any kind of bug report. Hava a
look at the screenshot
This release is available for libc5 and glibc based systems. Choose one of
the following dowload sites:
Installation procedure has changed a lot. So be sure to read the
Installation notes.
You can also take a look at the
Linux Software Map entry.
A list of known bugs can be found on
oberon.linux.bugs.html
.
Please do also have a look at the ToDo list to see if you can in any way
contribute to the development.
I've also begun to write a list with useful tips and tricks.
Please report any bugs you discovered or suggestions/proposals to the new mailing list:
Of course, mail to lichtenberger@ssw.uni-linz.ac.at
is still ok.
