[UtD] ARAnyM miniPack

[Francois LE COAT]

Hi,

ARAnyM http://aranym.github.io/ is the GNU/GPL ATARI Virtual Machine from which a minimal configuration, the miniPack is distributed http://eureka.atari.org/miniPack.zip miniPack is modified with the new release of ARAnyM 1.1.0 and EmuTOS 0.9.11. It supports:

`Run_win` allows launching on PC with Windows
`MacAranym` allows launching on PPC Macintosh with OS X
`MacAranym JIT` allows launching on IntelMac with OS X
`run_x86.sh` allows launching on PC with x86-Linux
`run_ppc.sh` allows launching on Mac and PS3 with PPC-Linux

So Macintosh-PC-PlayStation3 are all supported with Windows, OS X and GNU/Linux.
This simple ARAnyM configuration is running on any machine. Here is a screenshot http://eureka.atari.org/aranym.gif

Enjoy, it's yours =)

Very good!
Be sure that I have carefully tested the miniPack when preparing the EmuTOS
0.9.11 release.

Really?
When I tried with ARAnyM 1.1.0, it lamentably failed because of this ARAnyM
issue:

On PS3? How funny. Didn't know that this worked. Do you have any screenshots
for that?

I've now modified it quite a lot :-)

You should test it again, because I've modified the script, and tested it under Win8, running alright :-)

Very good, it works well !

But even if adding workarounds for buggy emulators is a good temporary
solution, fixing the bugs is better.

And also:
Did you really use the official ARAnyM 1.1.0 binaries?
I suspect that you used a more recent snapshot, because if I press Control
at the EmuTOS welcome screen, the desktop is displayed correctly. While it
was trashed with official ARAnyM-JIT 1.1.0 for Windows.

So it runs under Win10 ?

But even if adding workarounds for buggy emulators is a good temporary solution, fixing the bugs is better.

There's the same issue with GNU/Linux and ARAnyM 1.1.0 ... So the issue will be hard to fix ...
 

And also:

No, I used the latest snapshot. ARAnyM 1.1.0 was released with a .exe setup, and not a .zip file. The .zip file is better for me.

Yes. I couldn't use the official ARAnyM 1.1.0 release, unfortunately.

This explains the behaviour I observed.
Everything works fine in the miniPack.

But you advertise that you ship "the new release of ARAnyM 1.1.0". This is
obviously wrong, as you actually ship a more recent snapshot. And if I
hadn't compared the binaries, or checked EmuDesk behaviour, I would not have
noticed that it was not the official version. Coupled to the fact that the
snapshot proudly (and incorrectly) displays "ARAnyM 1.1.0" without any clue,
that's completely confusing.

Moreover, this raises another issue. If ARAnyM users (or redistributors) can
easily use snapshots but can't use official releases at all, then there is
something wrong with the packaging.

The miniPack is a multi-platform package. There is a problem with its packaging using the official binaries, but only with Windows. For the other targets, it's not a problem. But :

- for OS X Intel the version is 1.1.0 official
- for OS X PPC it's version 0.9.10
- for Windows it's version "aranym-1.1.0-cygwin-i386-19b61e96-sdl1.zip"
- for GNU/Linux x86 it's version 1.1.0
- for GNU/Linux PPC it's version 0.9.7

So, there's not only 1.1.0 official versions, depending on the OS and the target architecture ...

Before a new release, there is still another critical bug in ARAnyM 1.1.0,
at least on Windows.
Basically, when running windowed, at startup the the mouse can't be moved
left or top. First we have to move the mouse right and bottom, then it can
be moved everywhere. It seems that he host mouse is not properly positioned
at the center of the window at startup.
I don't know if this is specifically related to SDL1 or SDL2.
Everything worked fine with ARAnyM 0.9.16.

I'm sorry, I have no time for more detailed tests right now.

Does Vincent use SDL2 version of ARAnyM on Windows? Because Miro said

Hi,

I've added to the ARAnyM miniPack a binary for ARM-Linux and a script `run_arm.sh` to launch it with the Raspberry Pi. Can someone download the miniPack : http://eureka.atari.org/miniPack.zip unzip it on his Raspberry Pi, launch the script `run_arm.sh`, and send a screenshot of the ARAnyM's window, if it works ?

Thanks for any help :-)

That should be fixed now. I just pushed a fix so that aranym --version will now print either

 

ARAnyM 1.1.0 2019/04/14 (release)

(where the release date is fixed in version.h, and changed only when a release is actually made), or

 

ARAnyM 1.1.0 2019/06/23 (git:dad21ffd)

where the date is the commit date, and the string is the abbreviated commit hash as printed by git log.

 

If you download a tarball from github instead of cloning the repo, then compile it locally, it will print

 

ARAnyM 1.1.0 2019/06/23 (local)

where date is the compile date.

 

As a side effect, the same version string will now also be part of the initial window title (but that will later change when the window gets mouse focus),

and also be displayed in the About dialog from the setup.

i did on my raspi 3 b+ and i had no luck starting it. mint is always
crashing. Have a look at the attached files. Tell me if you need some
help to debug this.

Maybe the ARAnyM's instability issue comes from the fact that I used a
JITc version of the ARM-Linux binary.

Can you test again ? Download http://eureka.atari.org/miniPack.zip
unzip it on the Raspberry Pi, launch the script `run_arm.sh`, and send

a screenshot of the ARAnyM's window, if it works ?

Many thanks. That helps =)

Kiddo is eating so i thought i will build a version with jit enabled
but this failes. You will find the output gcc (debian 8.3.0-6+rpi1) as
an attachement. Do you have any ideas what i can do? I'm good at
configure; make; make install but i'm not a coder so i have no clue
whats wrong.

Maybe first you should `./configure; make` the official 1.1.0 sources :

<https://github.com/aranym/aranym/releases/download/ARANYM_1_1_0/aranym_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz>

because it is proved to be able to build. For x86-Linux I have done :
"
./configure --enable-jit-compiler --enable-jit-fpu --enable-opengl
--enable-nfvdi CFLAGS="-march=core2" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2"
"
You should adapt "-march=native" to your ARM-Linux target. With `make`
it will generate `aranym` and `aratapif` binaries, that you send to me.

Thanks for your help =)

i've got the sources and it fails too. again at building the jit part.
right now, i'm trying to find out what option end in an error by

long times ago i used to use march=cpu-type provided by the x86 gento
build script but now, i prefer to use march=native 'cause this is much
easier and i am a lazy dog ;)

i will send you a few more mails this evening, reporting whats
happening. if you like, i'm lurking around at irc in #atari-home,
#freemint, #firebee (very often i'm all alone) and talk to me.

Hi all,

really, really weird. i can't build aranym from the latest stable
release
(<https://github.com/aranym/aranym/releases/download/ARANYM_1_1_0/aranym_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz>).

When i just configure and then make i get an error (see attached file).
i use Debian 10 with gcc 8.3.0.

Strange thing is: When is use a clone from github it builds very well
(except jit but with jit2) and the final binary is very stable.

Do you have any idea?

Greetings
Bernd

Hi Bernd,

You have an error :
"

# define fp_pow10 pow10
"
I think that this error is on the way to be fixed, because it was
mentioned in the latest mails ...

There might also be another hickup: with some android development
environments, some tests for math functions succeeds (which is done only by
linking to -lm), but the functions are not declared in math.h, which at least
for c++ is an error. Maybe some arm libraries on debian suffer from a similar
problem.

Beside that, thanks to sagu's efforts, there are now also arm snapshots
available (they contain all versions, normal, jit and mmu). Did you try those
instead?

François, I have a request for the miniPack video settings.
By default, the EmuTOS welcome screen is displayed in black and white,
that's ugly.

I suggest you to do the following:
In Aranym_files/config,
replace BootColorDepth = -1
with BootColorDepth = 4

So the EmuTOS logo will show its beautiful red color.

Alternatively, you can set a 16-color boot video mode in the NVRAM, if
you like. But the config option above is simpler.

Oh yes. I will boot in 16-color mode with the miniPack, no problem =)

Can you test again ? Download http://eureka.atari.org/miniPack.zip
unzip it on the Raspberry Pi, launch the script `run_arm.sh`, and send
a screenshot of the ARAnyM's window, if it works ?

I put a new JITc ARAnyM binary that was built today, located at :

<http://dl.bintray.com/aranym/aranym-files/temp/aranym-e08fd18d9b4624491cc7758625683a34653117ca-jit.tar.xz>

Maybe these binaries are running better on the Raspberry Pi ... ?

At least if mathematical functions are not working properly, the
miniPack ARAnyM should boot with the Raspberry Pi under Raspbian.
For the moment we didn't succeed to boot it, and it's weird ...

Do you mean binaries that are located at :

<http://dl.bintray.com/aranym/aranym-files/temp/> ?

It should be compiled for ARM-Linux, and run on the Raspberry Pi ?

Not from the temp folder (these are only there because the jobs take too long, and have to be split). But there are also archives in

 

http://dl.bintray.com/aranym/aranym-files/snapshots/

 

look for *stretch-armhf*

For the moment we have tested :

with ARAnyM-JITc binary and non-JITc, but it failed to boot.

We also tested :

<http://dl.bintray.com/aranym/aranym-files/snapshots/aranym-1.1.0-stretch-armhf-326210c.tar.xz>

but it didn't boot either.

But these binaries don't boot the miniPack, with the RPI under Raspbian.
So now, I would like to test the following binary :

<http://dl.bintray.com/aranym/aranym-files/temp/aranym-e08fd18d9b4624491cc7758625683a34653117ca-jit.tar.xz>

But it is not sure it will boot ... The solution would be that Bernd
build his own snapshot with the Raspbian's tools, if it is possible.
I'm wondering whether somebody ever launched ARAnyM with ARM-Linux ?

I'm sorry but no. I think, it's on the Atari side where the crash
happens. I mean, your build of aranym runs very well on a raspberry pi
using afros for example but not the miniPack.

i will disable all xfs, xdd and stuff and have try again.

Just a sidenote, i'm curious about the new Raspi 4 which was released
today but its sold out everywhere :(

It's just regular autoconf/automake and the gcc toolchain. No any
weird android tools are involved and aranym runs very well on a
raspberry pi.

The only problem is, i cannot build a jit version but you already
mention it, it is a known bug and should be fixed some day.

The ARAnyM miniPack runs with PPC-Linux, x86-Linux, so it should run
with ARM-Linux :-) Furthermore that it runs with macOS and Windows.
I keep wishing that we will run the miniPack one day or the other :-)

Many thanks for all your tests ! That helps.

Well, then i start compiling aranym on my banana m2 and m3, my beagle
bone black and my cubieboard ;)

No problem

Hi,

 
The modification of the miniPack was done, so that it boots with 4 color depth, displaying a nice EmuTOS bootscreen image.

One thing was reported to me by Olivier Landemarre, because I booted the miniPack under Win8, and you booted under Win10. But the miniPack doesn't seem to boot with Win7 ... It's a problem, because Win7 seems to be widely used yet ... Do you know if something can be done for backward compatibility, and Win7 ?

Thanks for your help =)

Everything looks much better now.
