[Oberon] [SPAM | WERBUNG] Is there an Oberon System 3 or 4 version known to work on modern Linux kernels?

[Bernhard Treutwein]

Hi Rochus,

OberonV4 for Linux (available at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oberon/files/Oberon%20V4%20for%20GNU_Linux/) 
should run on actual Linux kernels, given 32bit support is installed, 
see thread started by Richard Hable 
(https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/pipermail/oberon/2025/017029.html) some time 
ago. You have to edit the sob script according to Tools&Tips on SF 
(https://sourceforge.net/p/oberon/wiki/Tools/).

OLR by Peter Matthias (see 
http://oberon.wikidot.com/oberon-linux-revival-olr) is System 3 and I 
have succeeded on several systems running on a framebuffer console and 
on some X11. On some systems I had to adjust/experiment with the 
environment variables; they are documented on the referenced page.

Feel free to contact me by PM, if you still have problems.

regards
