Outside of Haiku, what are you doing?

@brunobastardi: it does work in Otter though.

I’ve been taking care of a new baby that’s 16 days old today. It’s been a pretty amazing (and terrifying) experience so far.

Hobbies like working on Haiku will have to wait for a while since I have very little free time now, although things are getting easier every day and we are starting to get more regular sleep.

Keep up man!

Hey congrats! :smiley:

Congrats to the new family member, a baby is mostly new, iirc. And it will grow up and get older but it will be still your baby. As long as they are still small they are small troublemaker, but if they grow older they become bigger ones.
So enjoy your time with the baby and see you soon.

I tried many times to get video in my Drupal-website, just to find out the videos wont show up in Haiku.
Long time I did not try it again.

Congrats and enjoy the time while they are young, once they know how to use their feet it’s like constantly running after them :slight_smile:

Consider yourself lucky if you begin to sleep better in just 16 days !! :slight_smile:
We have 2,5 years old twin boys and sleep is not always normal still…and of course no free time at all…the only thing I can do (aside from day job) is to read this forum…

There seems to be a problem in YouTube or Web+ now, all videos I tried will not work/play.

Same here. I just installed a nightly on QEMU yesterday and no luck with YT on Web+

Congratulations Kyle. Life outside Haiku now has meaning … (but you’re kidding yourself if you think you’ll have any free time for the next 5-8 years).

Speaking of free time, there is amazing energy lately in Amiga scene. I couldn’t figure out where its coming from and then it dawned on me. People who grew up with Amiga’s are now starting to “retire”, and all the professionals now have time to spend with their hobbies that they’ve been putting off for decades. So in 20 or so years, expect an amazing insurgance of Haiku developers with free time on their hands.

Just made a modern compiler toolchain (GCC 8.3.0) for my rusty old phone. I cant update the runtime libs on the phone, but it is almost working.

I have to pass a spec to eliminate the libgcc requirements from the dynamically linked c++ programs, i think.

You can use -Wl,-static-libgcc to link libgcc statically. According to the documentation, there are some limitations to this, in particular if you want to throw exceptions in a .so and catch it in an executable or things like that.

Yeah, i already tested that way, it works :slight_smile:
