Oberon/System Variants

Wikibooks:Oberon Naming Licenses The Oberon system runs directly on several machine architectures and as a subsystem in several host operating systems. Order of rows is approximately chronological. For each variant (row), a link in the second column leads to additional information.

The differences between the latest 1990 version of Oberon and the 1991 superset, Oberon-2, are explained in bibliography references Moe91 and MoW91a. In some cases the host environment is a bare machine. Otherwise it is a machine running another system. Presentation at VCFE 23.0, September 2024. Jump to 35:46. Hypothetically a Ceres can also be built with wire wrap. Links to precompiled images for MS Windows, Linux and MacOS are at the bottom of the Github page. PAL = Platform Abstraction Layer written by Rochus Keller and included with Cross-platform Oberon. Precompiled systems are currently available for Linux x86 & x64, Mac M1 & x64 and Windows x86 & x64. Porting to another system is primarily porting the PAL library. ARMv8 processors are backward compatible to v7. Including the Transmeta Crusoe 5400 and the StrongARM SA 110 and SA 1110. A PC can boot from an Oberon0 diskette in an internal drive. In that case installation of ETH Oberon can proceed directly without involvement of DOS. Part 2 in the series includes a helpful explanation of the user interface. Sources for Release 2.0 are available. ASCII sources can be read with any contemporary editor. The Text sources should be read in an Oberon system; otherwise display by Linux gedit may be tolerable. Also referred to as "ETH Oberon Plugin for Windows" and "Spirit of Oberon System3 for Windows". A server at ftp://ftp.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/ remains accessible to an FTP client and installation archives can be retrieved. The Firefox browser is unable to navigate into the subdirectories. Sources following ETH Oberon closely. Note "Current state ... network not working." V4 can also execute on obsolete systems 680x0 MacIntosh and PowerMac with MacOS to version 9 inclusive, Amiga, Atari ST, DECstation, HP-UX, IBM RS/6000, SGI IRIS and SPARC with Solaris. Refer to https://sourceforge.net/projects/oberon/ and https://ssw.jku.at/Research/Projects/Oberon.html. A native version has not been produced. olymp.idle.at has version 1.7.02. The last version at JKU Linz is 1.5. GPCP provides a compiler for Component Pascal; not a full Oberon subsystem. During the summer of 2019 work was underway at the ETHZ to improve portability and other aspects. Until the work is completed, the user may encounter difficulties with the native variant of A2. The Oberon subsystem remains available in UnixA2 and WinA2. A notice was in the mailing list at 2019-07-03. Patience is advised. The SDL2 library and a C99 capable C compiler are required. GCC or Clang suffice for compiling the emulator. A software allowing execution of an Oberon command without the Oberon system and interface. The Oberon compiler, for example, can be executed at the Unix command line. Extended Oberon does not modify the RISC processor; it modifies only the Oberon system which runs on it. Nomenclature explained in the Oberon mailing list at 2023-01-18. <ref name="POV"> The TypeRules document is noteworthy. Specific aspects of types are discussed in the mailing list beginning at 2019-12-07. Wikibooks:Oberon Naming Licenses
