Programming / compiling glib-2.36.4 & libidl-0.8.14 -- need help
« on: September 17, 2014, 12:47:35 am »
I'm trying to compile glib and libidl using both gcc 332 & (or) gcc335 and I'm getting malformed input file error. This is obviously something I'm doing wrong. I have no problems compiling in gcc using kmk, but these sources (glib & libidl) apparently don't use kmk. Years ago I compiled using "ash" but looks like that is no longer an option. Could someone please straighten me out as to how to do this?

thanks  klipp

This "Under qualified to use rpm/yum" os2 user corrected the problem by installing a working python27.dll in \usr\lib

Hi Boris, this is turning into an unending mess!I think the basic problem is this: As soon as \tmp\yumbt  is deleted yum is GONE, Gives The system cannot find the path specified! Also there is no config.sys.yum created.The only way to run yum is to re-install the wpi. Re-installing, like you recommended, and then running "yum update && yum reinstall python" looks great untill I ran python --version which said: The system cannot find the file python27 (no python27 dll? in \usr).  I downloaded a python27.dll file off the Internet but it wouldn't load in a os2 enviorment. With a workable python27.dll it might work.
Looks like yum install is not creating the necessary run files so that the yumbt directory can be deleted. I verified this by trying it in both partitions. Yum seems to work fine (except for installing python)  as long as \tmp\yumbt isn't removed.

Thanks Boris, I screwed it up good and have been unable to get it straightened out correctly. I had backed up the \usr directory before doing any copying from \tmp\yumbt directory so I'm back to using python 2.6, it seems to work O.K. with my vbox compiling. I installed 2.7 correctly on a different partition and it works fine.  I'm thinking of copying the working  python 2.7 \usr directory to the partition I'm doing my compiling on , I believe that might make it work.

Hi Boris, Now I have python.exe located in D:\tmp\yumbt\usr\ ! I tried running it from that location and it said it needed gcc473.dll. I copied gcc473 from /local473 directory to /ecs/dll and it runs giving this:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, the date and the time!
gcc4.4.4 on os2knix
type "help", "copyright" etc etc for more information

Typing help did nothing and hung the system  --- I rebooted and copied \tmp\yumbt\usr to D:\usr. that looks like it fixed everything, I can use the python help menues etc.
But typing python --version at the root command prompt gives:Python 2.6.5 (not Python 2.7.6)? Which leaves me to wonder what I should use as an "iNCLUDE"  header when trying to compile source that is looking for the python header.
Also returning to yum and trying to install any of the debug, devel, magic, test, or tools packages gives the error:rpmdb:Damaged header #134 retreive----skipping. The system loops on this error and re-boot is only way out.
Thanks again for you're patience and excellent help!

I did yum update, it updated several headers, but then did the following:

[D:\] yum install python
Setting up install process
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#   134  region trailer:BAD,tag -1 type-1 offset 1 count -1
Package python-2.7.6-10.oc00.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

[D:\]python --version
Python 2.6.5

I'm outta here until tomorrow, (P.O'ed wife!) thanks for the help

Boris, YUM works fine, YUM LIST lists the entire repository. I also installed  gcc & QT4 without problems using YUM.   python --version gives python 2.6.5

Hi Boris, I've also tried YUM INSTALL PYTHON, but it throws an error saying python 26 is required! Guess its a pre-req.

I've  XPCOM taken care of as well as a few other items but now I'm "stuck" again. Now the newer VBox sources need Python and I can't seem to get it (Python 2.7) installed in OS/2. This is pretty obviously something I'm doing wrong! Could someone who has it installed and working please explain in reasonable detail how it should be installed.

Thanks again in advance for any help rendered.  klipp

I can only echo what Doug just posted Wim! It's people like you  (and Doug) that have proven to the rest of us that there will always be hope for the future of OS/2. A couple of years ago having a working Webcam connected to a system running OS/2 was nothing but a "Pipe Dream"!  Now thanks to you its a reality!

Thanks again,  klipp

Hey Dave, I've gotten by the XPCOM nightmare but now I'm hung up on something that should be so darned simple, but is blowing me away.  I'm now fighting: kmk: *** No rule to make target `/home/klipp/3.0.2/src/libs/curl-7.19.4/Makefile.kmk'.  Stop
There is no curl-7.19.4 in the source and downloading curl 7.19.4 doesn't work as it lacks a Makefile.kmk. any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks, klipp

Thanks for the response ivan -- I may have found a solution for the "XPCOM Landmine!"  but it  comes at a cost!  -- One step forward, 2 steps backward!

Hi Dave, Thanks for responding, here is a little more info:
I'm trying to build a newer version of VirtualBox for OS/2-eCS. I've started with 3 older versions (1.6.0,1.6.6, and 2.2.4) hoping to get one to compile, and then move gradually up to newer versions. I started  out doing this (gcc) in eCS but have now moved to Linux (much faster, and more friendly). I've had my best success compiling with 2.2.4 but all versions have the same problems getting through the XPCOM compile. My latest efforts are first trying to compile a pure Linux build (no OS/2 target) just to get a feel of how a successful build would look!  -- it gives the same XPCOM  error! I'm a FAR CRY from an expierenced gcc user, but this looks to me like something missing in the source code. I'm compiling using kmk. Thanks again for any ideas.

Programming / Compiling XPCOM (xpidl) fails -- need help!
« on: June 23, 2014, 05:38:28 am »
When compiling XPCOM it "craps out" when it gets to compiling XPIDL. Its looking for xpidl.o and there is no such file in the source or any other place I've searched. Anybody know where I can find xpidl.o? It looks like XPIDL could be replaced with PYXPIDL but I have no idea how a person would initiate this change in XPCOM. Thanks in advance for any ideas on how to solve this.
