I can define classes and access them. As soon as I use the new operator I get linker errors (undefined symbol). Turns out the new operator uses malloc which in turn requires stdlib. Maybe I could simulate the behavior of new like this.

1) Use memory allocation function for Amiga OS
2) Call constructor manually

Not sure how to know how much memory to allocate though.

It‘s the Wintermute Adventure engine I‘m trying to port. My goal is not to be fully compatible with recent games, but to have a decent engine on the Amiga for new games. So it’s going to be a minimal port.
