Paul,
Don't know if it helps, but Ko Myung-Hun just did a new meson: https://github.com/komh/meson-os2/releases/tag/1.6.0
Regards,
What about mesaGL? I don't remember its current status. A slow renderer would still be better than no renderer at all...
Mentore
I visited it, seven years back, and got it compiling and the examples ran good. [https://github.com/OS2World/LIB-GRAPHICS-WarpMesaGL.
Problem is that it is old. Gives gl.h while now it is gl2.h that is required.
OK, it uses GTK. That would be a huge job to port, much like Qt. While nice to have, I can't imagine it being ported.
It can also run in a browser, so that might be a possibility, though even for that there's a good chance it needs something we don't have, webgl or node.js.
Might be possile to use odin to build GTK - but if it needs opengl, etc we're royally screwed. nodejs is working well enough to build chromium....
Hello Mentore
Just one extra thing. can you put your ported version of RetroArch in some repository (like Github - https://github.com/MentoreSiesto?tab=repositories)
If possible I want to learn from your makefile, and I think it will be nice for everyone to check it out.
Regards
Hi.
I did understand, that you disabled this stuff. My point was that you should not concern yourself to much, with getting this to work. Cores will be enough work by themselves ;-)
Well I understand, that on an RaspberryPi, you would want that functionality, but I would just #ifdef Discord out.
Downloading of cores would also mean, you or someone would have to host the OS/2 specific core files. I don't know that it would be worth the hassle.
Rather I would have some RPMs or WPIs, which install some cores.
Which feature needs networking? Is it for downloading core etc.?
Hi Martin,
the next few weeks will be truly a handful both at work (where I have an ArcaOS VM) and in theatre, but I'll see what I can do. RetroArch would be really cute to have. It was tricky to port it due to its SSL libraries which rely a lot on IPv6 but I managed somehow - and I feel OS/2 would profit a lot of a new TCP/IP stack (which, I'm afraid, we will not see).

Hello Mentore
I don't know if you can port some of the basic cores for NES and SNES that are very common and don't require a console BIOS to be downloaded by the user.
Regards
Hello
Mentore ported RetroArch (1.19.1) and I just noticed today, which is awesome.
I installed "yum install SDL2 SDL2_net" it runs but I don't know if the cores (emulators) need also to be ported, or it will be download the cores from a site.
I tried to download the Core list from the app, but it is not downloading. Remains in 0%.
Anyone here with more experience with RetroArch?
Regards
As an example. this code compiles fine with DosBox,Code: [Select]FSINFO fsinfo;Whereas with DosBox-x, the error is,
ULONG drivenumber = drive[0];
if (drivenumber > 26) { // drive letter was lowercase
drivenumber = drive[0] - 'a' + 1;
}
APIRET rc = DosQueryFSInfo(drivenumber, FSIL_VOLSER, &fsinfo, sizeof(FSINFO));
if (rc == NO_ERROR) {
bool cdrom = false;Code: [Select]drive_cache.cpp: In member function 'void DOS_Drive_Cache::SetBaseDir(const char*, DOS_Drive*)':

Better to edit configure.ac, about line 368 and remove the CXXFLAGS line, the -Zmt on the LDFLAGS line and add -Zomf -Zhigh-mem -Zbin-files there. There's also a hard dependency on sdl-net in configure.ac you might want to comment out.
Then run "bash autogen.sh" rather then sh autoreconf then try configure.
There's other emxism's in the source to watch out for as you go.

Looking at your package, fuse.exe uses SDL120.DLL
So I tried building fuse. For spectrum I used these configure arguments,Code: [Select]--without-libgcrypt --prefix=/@unixroot/usr/local LDFLAGS="-Zomf -Zhigh-mem -lcx"and for Fuse,Code: [Select]--prefix=/Fuse-160 --without-x --without-gtk --disable-gtk3 --with-sdl LDFLAGS="-Zomf -Zhigh-mem -lcx" LIBS="-lbz2 -lz" LIBSPECTRUM_CFLAGS=-I/@unixroot/usr/local/include LIBSPECTRUM_LIBS=-l/@unixroot/usr/local/lib/spectrum.a 2>&1 | tee configure.logand had to add to peripherals/ttx2000s.c, in the include area around line 37,Code: [Select]#ifdef __OS2__
#include <libcx/net.h>
#endif
I see configure output,Code: [Select]checking whether SDL UI requested... yesand at the end,
configure: WARNING: SDL 2 not supported for the UI, using SDL 1 instead

Type 'make' to compile Fuse
Unluckily, it crashes while, I think, trying to show the settings. fuse --help does work. Perhaps due to lack of utilities? All I feel like doing right now as I'm not really interested in the emulator.
