HiI talked to the author of "Animated Mouse Pointer" and he gave me the source code of this program. He wants to release it as Open Source under the Apache license, but he gave me the condition that to be released a new build has to be created with the new license. I need someone that can help me to compile Animated Mouse Pointer and release a new version binary, so all the package, binaries and source code can be released. I really need help with this. Since it is taking me forever to understand how to compile this software. Regards

Thanks Paul. I just sent it to you e-mail.
Quote from: Martin Iturbide on April 26, 2014, 01:55:28 amThanks Paul. I just sent it to you e-mail.I have most likely the same dev env as Christian (mainly VAC 3.08). Itshould not be much effort for me to compile AMPtr with access to thesources.
Sourcesfrom Eugene Gorbunoff, direct link.
14/07/2010 Yuri A.Prokushev- resource dll build fixed- GPL version19.10.2009 Yuri A.Prokushev- WarpIn packaging- LANGE support14.10.2009 Dmitry A.Steklenev- The sources now can be compiled via VAC 3.0 and 3.6.- The size of the stack of the executables is increased. This prevents crash of the aniedit2.exe.- Prevents permanently disabling the "Edit" button in case user try to edit an animated pointer.- The properties notebook now have "merlin" style.- Prevents of emphasis of NULL container record during context menu activation.- Fixed incorrect allocation of the HANDLERDATAINTERNAL structure.- Optimized container drawing in the demo mode.- Fixed "hide pointer" feature.- Removed a lot of unused variables.- All structures are aligned to 32-bit boundary and all DosEnterCritSec/DosExitCritSec calls are removed.
Is what Eugene is doing - linking in code and not supplying the source for that code - even legal under the GPL licence?
OK.. this thread demonstrates current state of os2world.com site.
But I prefer a more open source implementation of "Animated Mouse Pointer" that does not depend on "eCo Software runtime" , since it is a close source library. I believe that if we remain using eComStation-OS2 until today is because open source has allow us to migrate more software to this platform. We should not produce more close source software that in the future will have the risk to became abandonware, like all the old OS/2 software we have.
