Programming / Re: GCC "phase error detected at end of assembly"
« on: November 09, 2015, 09:14:23 am »
Are you sure this is a GCC (GAS) error? Usually GAS assembly files have a .S suffix and NASM etc use .asm. Of course it is not a hard and fast rule. If NASM, the usual fix is to do more passes, -O2 IIRC.
If using silent rules like too much stuff does now, set V=1 or make V=1 will display the whole command, perhaps post it

Use unpack,
Code: [Select]
R:\tmp\OS2\UTILITY\OS2UTILS>unpack FUELOS2.EX_
FUELOS2.EX_
- FUELOS2.EXE
       0 file(s) copied.
       1 file(s) unpacked.

Or unpack *_
Here I get an error popup "This program can not run on this system"

Samba & VIO - the strange 'a' with skewed line (what's the correct English term for this?)

I believe it's an acute accent. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent which also shows the other diacritics.

TeX Live and friends
We have an excellent TeX-IDE: TeXStudio.
We need a modern TeX-Distribution: TeX Live.
CAS Maxima with GUI wxMaxima

Building TeX Live (2015)
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlbuild.html
I tried that. It should build.
But at the moment, I have problem with their FreeType build.

Freetype should be easy. Does the network build test for existing libraries? If so, you should install already ported versions of whatever has already been ported. Easiest with yum/rpm. Yumie should be out soon, at least a rc which makes things easier.

General Discussion / Re: SAMBA, RSync, and ZIP.

I tried a couple of versions of eautil.exe and renamed VMUpdateY.cmd.EAs with the same result. This is also eCS 2.1 with all the Arca Noae updates. R: is a tmpfs volume.
Hmm, same error on a HPFS volume but it worked on a JFS volume, strange, perhaps it really is an incorrect EA name, as in having a non ascii character as JFS uses unicode.
Using the zip that is included with eCS 2.1 (3.0 compiled with GCC 4.4.6) zip simply fails with zip error: Interrupted (aborting)
rsync does crash.
Using Unimaint to view the EAs, they look fine (of course the binary ones are questionable) and testing them reports that they are valid.
Using the zip (2.2 compiled Nov 3rd 1997) that is in my Warp V4 tcpip\bin works fine to zip it., You should test a zip that was not compiled with kLIBC.
Possibly it is an error in one of the EAs that kLIBC adds so kLIBC (only recent?) causes the program to fail.
I'll attach the one I zipped, perhaps the EAs got altered here.
edit: it now unzips and zips fine so I probably changed something. I have to go to bed now.

R:\tmp\crash>eautil VMUpdateY.cmd VMUpdate.cmd.EAs /J /O
SYS0254: An incorrect extended attribute name was used.

R:\tmp\crash>help sys0254

SYS0254: An incorrect extended attribute name was used.

EXPLANATION: The extended-attribute name contains a character that is
incorrect.

ACTION: Correct the extended-attribute name and retry the operation.

Perhaps try using rar to save the file.

I never owned eCS 1.x so can't use the ecsreg.ini trick.  It's a strange license as I can look in INI.INI and see my name and serial number and it runs fine on my Warp V4 partition. It was a freebie they gave out just before discontinuing it IIRC.

OK. My Hoblink is only licensed for use on OS/2 V4 and refuses to run on eCS which was why I was trying to get XFree86 to run. I did get it kind of running using the VNC server but it wasn't really good enough to use.

I notice that you have XFree86, does it work for you and what level of kernel are you using.
I've tried installing XFree86 in eCS 2.1+ and it seems to be missing some functionality in xf86sup.sys that is needed for the fonts and working pttys. I believe that xf86sup.sys needs updating to work correctly with the newest kernels.

Steven Levine seems to be in charge of rsync, at least when I had a crash with it caused by connecting to a Linux machine that had xattrs turned off.
It'd be interesting to test rsync (with xattrs enabled) with this file on Linux.
As far as I know, no-one is looking after unzip and zip as, at least the last time I looked, they just built and worked out of the box. You could always test the RPM/YUM versions and if it still crashes, open a bug report at netlabs/rpm.
Samba seems to be being looked after by bitwise and I believe the issue tracker is also at netlabs so an issue can be opened there as well.

Note that SATA ports above 4 (starts at 0) *may* have some limitations (BIOS limits, depending on the machine), and it appears that any CD/DVD drives need to be on higher port numbers than the disks, or Air Boot won't see the disks.

Here my DVD device is on Port (controller) 0 and I installed eCS 2.2b2 without any problems. IIRC I was still using Bootmanager when I first installed and switched to airboot when I upgraded to a 1TB disk (on port 1)

Possibly a driver issue, probably the AHCI driver but possibly even ACPI.
Can you update those and then put the drive back in your new box and test?

Another problem would be disks with 4k sectors. Such disk are not usable with OS/2. But is should be not a problem for you as 4k sector disks are usually > 1TB big. And the 2TB 4k disks I've seen does have a 512B sector compatibility mode.

I'm using a 1 TB drive that has 4kb sectors, works fine as the drive hardware presents the sectors as 512b though it is helps to use something like dfsee to partition so the real 4kb sectors line up with the JFS 4kb file blocks.
I did have to wipe and repartition the drive and install airboot as bootmanager got really confused when I added the 1 TB drive.

Applications / Re: Why Qt4 Lib uses REGISTRY.DLL?
« on: October 03, 2015, 04:59:43 am »
The default is the same as having QT_PM_NO_REGISTRY in your environment so no need to set it.
In cases like this, you can set it to anything and you can put it in config.sys or just enter it at a cmd prompt and then use the same cmd prompt to launch a QT app.
QT has a hard requirement for registry.dll as it is installed by all OS/2 systems that support QT and it is more work to check for its existence and only load it when available. It is open source so you could remove the requirement and re-compile.

Setup & Installation / Re: Problems with fresh yum install
« on: September 27, 2015, 02:11:00 am »
Copy \usr \var \etc over to your real system and add \usr\bin to the PATH and \usr\lib to the LIBPATH. I prefer adding them to the front. And add set UNIXROOT=x: where x: is whichever drive you chose to config.sys. Reboot and test.
Oh, don't forget to remove the yum bootstrap with warpin and check your PATH and LIBPATH that it is gone.
