Did you ever get the "Feelin" that Feelin would never actually be ported to AROS? Well, in the top secret laboratory of Georg Steger work has been done to correct that way of thinking. Sometime ago he worked on an older port, but left it as is. We zoom to present day AROS land. The eclectic Kalamatee enters the fray! He picks up where Georg left off and now has Feelin running in AROS! Here is the proof.
With some help from Georg, Nick "Kalamatee" Andrews surprised everyone in the #aros irc channel today by showing off that screen shot. It isn't fully working yet. There are some items that still need to be addressed.
Here is a list of items Kalamatee spoke about in the irc channel today.
1. yeah georg fixed some dos stuff in one class which doesnt work now cause we had a fix up in the headers =S
2. and the histogram class had some funcs defined which also doesnt compile now - so theyve been reverted to compile but not work
(iee math funcs)
3. another issue is the default window decorater (use intuitions) doesnt work properly - it doesnt respect the themed borders dimensions so u get some corruption
4. shouldnt be too hard for someone to fix
5. It needs updated to the newer version, but it shouldn't be hard to do now.
Kalamatee did state that it is submitted to the svn. Since Feelin is basically a open-source GUI framework, it gives AROS some nice diversity. It's native GUI is the well known Zune of course. So now that we have it, hopefully it won't take long to get the items fixed to gain a fully functional port. A big THANK YOU goes out to Nick and Georg!

where can i found the feelin binary?

To my knowledge there is no binary right now. You would have to compile it from the code Kalamatee has commited.

And it seems to already compile in 64bit

thanks for reply. can anyone from "non-anti-feelin" devs be kind to upload the binary to The AROS Archives?
