 = Compiling ScummVM for AmigaOS4 =
-For building ScummVM on AmigaOS4, use the [[Compiling ScummVM/GCC|Linux/GCC]] build instructions, with the following alterations:
+For building ScummVM on AmigaOS4, use the following build instructions:
+== Prerequisite ==
-== Libraries ==
-* Download the latest AmigaOS4 SDK from [http://hyperion-entertainment.biz/index.php/downloads?view=files&parent=30 here].
+Download and install the latest AmigaOS4 SDK from [http://hyperion-entertainment.biz/index.php/downloads?view=files&parent=30 Hyperion-Entertainment].
-* If newer versions of libraries are available, they can also be retrieved from [http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=browse&cat=development/library here].
-* Make sure you have SDL(1/2) installed (where SDL2 should be preferred).
+Download and install SDL(1 or 2) (where SDL2 should always be preferred) SDK from [https://github.com/AmigaPorts/SDL/releases GitHub]
-* You may also need libvorbisfile, libvorbis, libFLAC, libogg, libmad, libtheoradec, libfaad, libmpeg2, liba52, libfreetype, libGL and/or libogles2.
+You may also need to install
+*libogg
+*libvorbisfile
+*libvorbis
+*libFLAC
+*libmad
+*libtheoradec
+*libfaad
+*libmpeg2
+*liba52
+*libfreetype
+*libGL (and optional libogles2)
+and maybe more, as more dependancies are added.
+Download them from [http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=browse&cat=development/library OS4Depot.net].
+== Configuring ==
+Run the configure script.
+type
+<syntaxhighlight>
+sh ./configure --enable-plugins --disable-detection-full --enable-release
+Instead of
+--enable-release
+you can use
+--enable-debug
+to add debug flags.
+While
+--enable--plugins
+is the command to build a shared objects version of ScummVM.
+If you must (see comment further down below), use
+--enable-static
+to build the static version.
+</syntaxhighlight>for a list of configure options, additional features etc. (e.g. not yet enabled/unstable engines),
+use<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+sh ./configure --help
+</syntaxhighlight>If no errors came up, you are ready to compile ScummvM.
 == Compiling ==
-To configure, run in a shell:
-<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
-sh
+<syntaxhighlight>
-./configure
+Note on static builds:
-gmake
+If you are trying to build ScummVM statically linked (all-in-one binary) your system memory will likely run out during the linking process.
+The currently available AmigaOS4 NG systems are limited to 2 GB of RAM (where the limit actually stops at roughly 1550 MB) on the OS level (this may change in the future, but right now i would advise against a natively build static binary.
+Cross-compiled static builds are still available throught the ScummVM buildbot at https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/, albeit not with all available features).
 </syntaxhighlight>
-== Cross-compiling ScummVM for the AmigaOS with Cygwin ==
-* Make sure that you have SDL installed, you may also need libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, zlib, libmad.
+type<syntaxhighlight>
-* Type ./configure --host=ppc-amigaos
+gmake clean
-* If you got an error about sdl-config, use --with-sdl-prefix parameter to set the path.
+</syntaxhighlight>
-* Run 'make'.
+in the directory ScummVM was configured and then
+<syntaxhighlight>
+gmake amigaosdist
+</syntaxhighlight>
+This will automatically install the ready binary with all needed dependancies into a subdirectory named "install/".
+This directory can then be copied anywhere and used.
 == Installing ==
-Copy the exe wherever you want (an intitial - empty - .ini file will be created on the first run).
+Copy (and rename, if needed) the final "install/" subdirectory wherever you want.
 == Running ==
-Double-click the  "ScummVM" icon to start the program.
+Double-click the  "ScummVM"  icon to start the program (if no .ini settings file is availbale, an initial one with default settings will be created during the first run)
