Programming / Re: Compiling PMMail with GCC 4.9.2
« on: June 03, 2019, 11:37:30 pm »
Try reinstalling libc-0.1.1-1-devel which is where the header for this is located. The header is "include\386\stdarg.h". It defines va_start.

libgcc has changed/added functions since the GCC 4.9.2 version and corresponding libgcc1.dll
To avoid having to rely on an updated libgcc1.dll; I recommend you link with -static-libgcc which helps avoid a DLL dependency

BUT: PMMail crashes with the new libc under some circumstance when accessing a folder (I have to take a deeper look into that, but looking into the log says that it's a problem with memory allocation)
Hey Gregg,
I will log a new ticket for Gregg, hopefully he hasn't grown tired of seeing yet another defect being reported by 'yours trully' 8-P
Not a problem. Unfortunately I also suspect it is Poppler and that would mean that there may be little I can do about it. I will look at it when I get home.
What build of poppler are you using, and how is it being called from Lucide? Happy to take a look at the poppler source and see if there's anything obvious in there...
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Gregg
I cannot find the icon for the program java creation in the toolbars menu. I am using FM/2 version 3.24. It could be I just don't recognize the icon. I will continue to look.
Gregg, can you take a pic and post. I even enabled toolbar titles and don't see it.

Years ago when I was helping Steve Levine and John Small with FM/2, that was one of my requested features. Unfortunately, they never had time to implement it. The program has a menu program object to create an Object, a Shadow, and I was hoping a Java object could be added. Unfortunately, they never go around to it and have got busy doing other endeavers. People don't realize how powerful this file manager is. If I remember correctly, it was original designed by Mark Kimes to be used as a replacement for the WPS if one so chose.
Well in this case we need to provide financial support to BWW that helps to finish QT.
Being at Sigurd Fastenrath his OS/2 meeting in Cologne about 3 weeks ago, Lewis Rosenthal gave a Q&A to the people. He mentioned USB 3.0 is close to going into beta. And they are looking at UEFI.
What do you mean with bugs about loading DLL's high. Are these bugs reported to Arca Noae ?

QtCore 5.11 porting and testing finished
We are proud to announce that we finished porting *and testing* the QtCore module of the Qt library version 5.11 for OS/2! This makes the text-mode part of Qt officially ready to go (including the QtNetwork, QtXml and a bunch of other utility modules). The test suite for QtCore contains 189 test units with a total amount of almost 70k tests! The release build passes 68666 tests (with only 2 occasionally failing because of the too coarse OS/2 system timer — this is to be fixed soon). The debug build passes 68572 tests (with only 2 failures as well, for the same reason). This is quite a number. Apparently, Qt5 is going to be the best Qt for OS/2 port ever.
We at bitwise wish you all Happy New Year! We also want to thank those of you who supported us through all the past years! We are looking forward into 2019 where we plan to finish Qt 5 and bring a new browser experience to the OS/2 platform (among other nice Qt 5 applications out there).
Currently I've got around 60% of all my DOS games running fine on ArcaOS, but 40%... well.. there are some issues like slowish execution, no sound, or it doesn't work at all.. no error messages whatsoever. - If "we" can establish ArcaOS and/or OS/2 in general to be THE DOS gaming platform, this will be helping a lot to make OS/2ish operating systems more widely known among gamers.
