We discussed the issue already: The sound hangs or goes away after some time. Prime example for me is my PrDoom port.

I wanted to avoid UNIAUD, because I have big problems with my development machine.
I don't know, if it the driver or the HW in my T480, but I wanted to try "native" drivers.

Hardware / Soundblaster Live 1024 drivers
« on: August 22, 2025, 10:28:57 am »
I'm building a test rig on base of a AM3 board. OS/2 is running fine.

Now, I want to use a sound card. I have access to a Sound Blaster Live 1024 (CT4830) card, so I installed that one.
I downloaded some driver from the Hobbes archive, but it doesn't work. Does someone have some suggestions, how to make the card work, or which driver I should use.
Also, I have a Terratec DMX Xfire 1024. Is there an drivers for that?
Or wóuld a USB sound card a better option?

Games / Re: Minecraft - ClassiCube

Yeah, it's OK. In the README, I only would add a warning to put ClassiCube in it's own folder, since it will download everything it needs to the executable's folder.
On that note, I struggling to find time to work on DOSBOX-X and ClassiCube, so all please be patient.

OpenOffice is ported.

And, please don't forget to package translations.

I have succesfully run my T480 on a Cinema Display with 1440P.

Programming / Re: GCC - updates

Fair enough. I'm just interested, what it would take to have a cross compiler.

Don't get me wrong, there could be definite benefits - for example - building qtwebengine on OS/2 is a PITA due to g++ processes consuming ~2gb of RAM on large compilations, so having to limit the number of ninja processes - building on a modern linux system could allow multiple processes to run without memory exhaustion.
I'm doing the same for the DOSBOX-X cpu core files.
Another benefit would to have Github actions automatically build the code, so we would have some sort of integration test.

Hi Paul.

Thanks for the answer. So for a cross compiler setup, we would need a port of these emx tools. The OpenWatcom stuff is already there.
Am I correct? (I know, it's certainly not that easy to do)

Just a question: What are we doing to produce OS/2 binaries?
Do we call emxomf, wlink etc. to convert the binaries?

In the FILEDLG structure, set the usDlgId member to IDDLG_DIRECTORY to get a dialog that can select directories.
Thanks, that's what I needed. I will try it in a few days.
Hi, Neil.

Can you tell me the value of IDDLG_DIRECTORY? I can't find it in the OS/2 toolkit or the EMX headers.

Hi guys.

I'm getting through the open issues very well. I think, I can release a test build soon.
But I have some open issues, for which I couldn't find documentation:
  • Is it possible to use WinFileDlg to select a directory? I can filter directories, but I can't select them.
  • Can I manipulate the style values of a dialog control at runtime, eg. in WM_INITDLG?
  • The API documentation alludes to being able to build a dialog description in memory via DLGTEMPLATE and DLGITEM structures, but doesn't show how nor documents the structures at all. Does someone know some sample code for this process?
  • Can someone recommend some documentation or development books for OS/2 console programming?
  • Optional: Do we have a color chooser dialog (I know nothing official), or some code how to do it? Or, would it suffice to enter the code as a string with the hex code pattern '#RRGGBB'?


If someone has some answers or pointers for frther investigations, it would help for this port.
