Re: Paul Smedley:QuoteHe is still porting software, he is actively working on it (as we speak).
True, but I think he is running into problems because he is not using a real SMP machine. He is using a VBox system, and VBox seems to have a problem if you set it to run eCS with more than one processor (it eventually just stops). That means that his work is not properly tested in an SMP environment. This is a case where users can help, even if they don't know much about software.
... is there a Chance to get an updated UNIAUD in general?But about to UNIAUD, he told that needs to clean the source code of it. His goal is to make it in a way that it will be easy on the future to add portions of code of newer devices fast (this is what I understood) to make a driver that can be easily updated. He said that it is 20% complete, but he can not say exactly when it is going to have it complete.
My slides + audio are now on youtube - http://youtu.be/Vw6bhDH8Oig
thanks, listened to it the last night - it is really great to get so much bakcground information.
Because of my english knowledge I was not able to understand the plans/Problems with UNIAUD in the of your Video. As I am playing aorund with the Sony Vaio Pro 13 with Intel HDA Audio - what do you think - is there a Chance to get an updated UNIAUD in general?
Thanks again and keep going your excellent work!
Thanks to David M. I got CUPS 2.0.0 to print a test page. Some critical information seems to be missing from the packages (or I never found it). It seems that you need to use a command to create a Symlink for Ghostscript (I say what?). I don't know about other users, but I never even heard about needing such a thing. Those who use Linux, or are programmers, may know about the ln command, but I suspect that the average OS/2 user doesn't know about it.
QuoteGotta say - I'm not sure how to interpret the above..... in particular the section I've highlighted in italics..............................
I do notice that you (Paul), sometimes take your time about investigating problems.
Speaking only for myself, I appreciate all of the software you compile and take the time to listen to feedback on, even if I don't use a lot of it I know it contributes to keeping many people using OS/2.
I certainly would not expect you to do what you do unless you are happy to do it, in your own spare time, as it happens. If others want things to be simpler in installing, I see no reason that they cant spend some time to learn and give back to our community by creating, or helping to create installers and or documentation.
There is now a CUPS version 2.0.0, that I haven't managed to get going (close, but not quite there yet). It doesn't, yet, have a WarpIn installer, and there seem to be some bugs that haven't been worked out yet. It is one of Paul Smedley's projects, and he has the same 24 hour days that the rest of us are stuck with. Paul does so many things for the OS/2 world, that he tends to be a little slow at getting everything done, that people demand.
The problem is now that there are some bugs in Image Magick and I need help on this side. I'm using IM as back-end.
I already asked Paul but he has no time to fix these issues. So my question is: can anybody help out and get some things in Image Magick running? I have no skills in C development and I'm busy enough to work on the GUI and WPS integration.
