I have made an initial port of ClassiCube. You need to install libcurl to automatically download the assets be able to connect to servers.
Please unpack the exe in an separate directory because the assets will be created in the same directory where the exe is.
There is no sound ATM, and drawing is slow and buggy, but everything works,  including connecting to a server.
Have fun.

Should you have some link for Paul's B.E. may you put it here? TIA.

I uploaded mine. I use gcc9, but I just didn't change the filename ;-)

I have adapted Paul's environment script to my needs, and run it from an copied shell object by calling the script via parameter. This confines the scope of the environment values and everything apart from development remains untouched.

Also, I have cmake installed, since many projects use that and we have good support for it.

Most likely you are missing libcx:
Code: [Select]
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS  "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -lcx")
If you want to test and get some output on the shell, set the Exe type to WINDOWCOMPAT.
For the app icon to show in PM, you need to set the exe type to WINDOWAPI. The console output then isn't shown, but can be captured like this:
Code: [Select]
app -someparameter | less

Hi Andreas.

I tried to PM you several times, but the messages seems to vanish. I cannot even see them in my Sent folder.

To the issue at hand:
In the provided file seems to be no problems. All persisted data in the XML are shown in FeatherNotes.
I can add and delete items, then save and reload. All items are there.

Can you provide more infos about what leads you to assume lost items?

Sorry, I was occupied with other stuff, and didn't look into the forums.
Next week, I have holidays. I try to make room for the issue.


Bye Jochen

In my experience, rEFInd works really good with ArcaOS.

Is there an install program for rEFInd that works on ArcaOS?
Not to my knowledge, but alle the install scripts do is mount the ESP volume and copy the necessary files to it.
On the rEFInd site is a page with instructions for manual installation.
Also, Rich has instructions how to do it in ArcaOS, posted above

Hi Rich.

I really don't much with Rexx, so I didn't know it comes with ArcaOS.
I tried the new version again, and it finished the job.
Good Job.


Bye Jochen

Thanks Rich.

I have put the exe on the installer usb stick, and installed 5.1 as CSM boot.
If I try your tool, I always get "Can't determine the source version", although the referenced iso is exactly the iso from the installer stick.

The other incorrect assumption is that "something" would automatically convert your disk to GPT even though such a feature isn't mentioned in the documentation nor does it appear in the installer's UI.. As it happens, the only known OS/2-based MBR to GPT converter is sitting here on my hard drive. I offered it to one of AN's principals but he declined the offer because he couldn't imagine a reason someone would want such a thing. Sad but true...
If you assume, that someone would update to 5.1, i.e. on a working system, but then would have leave MBR as it is, then yes, you don't need the tool.
But I really don't want to reinstall my development machine, just to have GPT partition. On the other, hand, the only way to also have Windows 10, Linux and MacOS (!) on the T480, was to install a second flash drive just to have ArcaOS on it and have my boot manager reboot through the BIOS to have boot the MBR disk.
I would be happy to test your tool.

To finish your CSM->EFI conversion, you just need to create the EFI partition. Here's how:
* boot up yur new install using the USB strick
* open MiniLVM
* select System->Create EFI partition; follow the instructions
* select System->Boot Menu->Install/Update; follow the instructions
* eject the USB stick and reboot - you should get the AN Launcher menu (i.e. AN's EFI boot manager)

Edit: MiniLVM offers these options for a GPT disk. I _assume_ they're also available for MBR disks. If not, it's still easy to create a bootable EFI partition - you just have to copy some files.
Do you know, whether the EFI files installed via MiniLVM are the same as the ones on the USB stick?
