Did you read the README.OS2? In particular the installation section? The newer SeaMonkey etc need a lot more supporting libs, namely

libvpx libjpeg-turbo libpng zlib bzip2 hunspell libcx

Should work. Make sure you do all partitioning with OS/2 tools and use Airboot to boot.
Linux grub needs to be installed in /boot or / rather then the MBR. No experience with Haiku but I believe it was designed to co-exist with other OSes. Once again best not to let it touch the MBR if possible.
The important things are cylinder alignment that OS/2 is picky about and not losing the LVM info that OS/2 writes in MBR and its partitions.

edit: Let us know how it goes and ask if having problems or need more info.

What means: Could not load XPCOM? I have this problem with ecomstation 2.2 en beta.

seamonkey-2.42.9esr.en-US.os2
seamonkey-2.42.9esr_r3.en-US.os2

I installed all necessary libs and files.


Micky

It's not finding part of its runtime or supporting DLLs. Are you sure you don't have duplicates hiding somewhere? Are you sure you got the latest versions? Though that would likely give you a sys2070.
How did you install all the needed libs?

FM/2 can probably find its own DLLs and Warpin IIRC, only needs that DLL when creating WPI packages. You do have to run the stuff from the Warpin directory when creating packages.
One example I'm familiar with is the Mozilla apps such as Firefox, which looks in its own directory for its runtime. SeaMonkey also loads a dll from .\components.
In preparation for rpms, now they also look in \usr\lib\$PROGRAM or for firefox, \usr\lib\firefox-45.9 with firefox.exe in \usr\bin

There are more ways for a program to find its DLLs then the LIBPATH. For example DLLs registered with the WPS don't have to be on the LIBPATH or a program might dynamically load its  DLL from a known location such as its program directory. Some programs even shouldn't have their DLLs on the LIBPATH such as the Mozilla programs.
The question is, do the programs work fine without the DLLs on the LIBPATH? I think you'll find all those programs, except maybe Warpin, work fine as installed.

Good info from Fahrvenugen. I'll add this link, http://web.archive.org/web/20060926004818/http://www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de/english/site_contents.html as a starting point for all free fixes. Note a lot of links are dead but with some googling, things can be chased down.
For any modern apps, you will need the 32 bit stack and the latest fixpak at least.

about:buildconfig
Code: [Select]
c++ 5.3.0 -idirafter g:/OS2TK45/h -Wall -Wempty-body -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsign-compare -Wwrite-strings -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wcast-align -fno-exceptions -fno-strict-aliasing -Zomf -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-math-errno -std=gnu++0x -pthread -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -g -march=i686 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer

Note the -O3 after -march=i686.

Interestingly, I recently was having problems with SM vanishing. I ran a session with 2.35 and then went back to 2.42.9 and things are once again stable. Perhaps something got corrupted in my old profile and 2.35 fixed it, or just coincidence.

General Discussion / Re: ReactOS 0.4.7 released

Arca Noae is just a small company. They have enough to do just writing/updating drivers.
Writing an OS/2 subsystem for ReactOS would be a big job.

Does your LIBPATH statement in config.sys start with x:\usr\local\lib;x:\usr\lib where x: is the same as your UNIXROOT?
I forget, are you running ArcaOS? Or?

Where and how did you install them?

When ReactOS first started, they reached out to the OS/2 community to have OS/2 support. Sadly no one was interested or didn't like the license. It's a shame as ReactOS could have been a way forward as the NT Kernel was written to run OS/2 (First version was OS/2 v3 NT or maybe it was OS/2 NT v3) and could still have an OS/2 sub-system added though the move to 64 bit would make it hard.

Warp V3 didn't ship with Ethernet support, just enough of a stack to enable dial up networking. You need Warp V3 Connect or newer or find LANManager (or whatever it was called) and install it. I believe you might be able to install the free MPTN update to get the functionality as well.
Even with Warp v4 you will need to update the stack to use newer programs, OS/2 connect and Warp v4 shipped with a 16 bit stack and you need the 32 bit stack. Warp v3 would need other updates to be usable with more up to date software.
Easiest (though officially illegal, no one will care) is to go to https://winworldpc.com/product/os-2-warp-4/os-2-warp-452 and install Warp 4.52. If you like it, you can always purchase ArcaOS (OEM version of OS/2)

Actually I cannot hook and drag the icons with the mouse, they are unmovable; why?

Are you using the right mouse button to drag? OS/2 by default uses the right mouse button for  dragging and dropping. It can be changed, though I forget where right now.

Can you suggest a topic here or a good link for OS2 Warp post installation tips/trick in Virtualbox? (ie. guest addition handling and some optimizations you can't miss).

Thank you much

Make sure to read the readme in the additions under OS/2 on how to install them and don't install the libc files as they're out of date.

Hardware / Re: acpistat tells me that I need apm.add

You could try going to x:\mptn\etc\acpid.cfg.sample and copying it to x:\mptn\etc\acpid.cfg (change x: to your boot volume) and make sure it has this,
Code: [Select]
; What do to when the Power button is pressed
; none    = no action (default)
; off     = power off
; suspend = suspend
; reboot  = reboot the system
PowerButton = Off

Then try pushing your power button for half a second or so and see if that shuts down your computer, might need to reboot before it works. Works for some, not for others. Here it works but takes perhaps a minute or 2 before it turns off the computer. Make sure you close anything your worried about and save any work as it just turns the computer off cleanly without saving anything or warning.

You shouldn't need SeaMonkey in the PATH though it probably doesn't hurt. I meant the supporting libraries, from the README.OS2
