Hi

By the way I made some little updates to some packages, trying to standardize how I use the .specs a little bit better, and trying to use lowercase on the package names.

I still have some road ahead to learn to register a WPS class with this and create a install for "Black Hole" as example.

Regards

FWIW:
%doc is used to mark files as documentation.
It has to do with RPM querying -- querying a list of documentation files.
The files themselves still must be part of the %files section.
See: File-related Directives

uhm... I'm still do not know if I'm using the %doc correctly. I'm putting almost all readme.txt files, like history.txt, whatsnew.txt, and all alike inside that directoy that at the end is "usr/share/doc/-name of the app-version/"
But if it is a .txt used by the application, like "high score" for a game or anything like that I'm putting it on "usr/share/-name of the app/".

Yes, FHS is a mess, not even the linux guys like it, but it is how it work  :-\

Hi

It is good to know that you have control of it.  I don't want to lose any more OS/2 material.

Hi

Just a little tweaking to include the icon on the exe.
I think I'm done with File Commander, it was a nice learning. Until Ben let me know the specifics of what should I do to include it on the RPM server once we elaborate more the idea.

Hi

I found it. odin.spec was a good sample that helped me.

The trick was "%{_docdir}. Now the readme is correctly pointed on the WPS object.

Hi

I noticed that "www.os2ezine.com" is down. Does anybody know how to contact "Falcon Networking" to see if we can recover the site?

For the moment we only have the Wayback machine backup.

Wat is that backslash before PROGTYPE doing there ?
It is also in your 'Larsen_Commander.spec' file from your posted examples.


It seems it was a mistake, but it didn't produce any issue, neither help with my problem. I still do not know how to get the %doc to set the path for the WPS readme shortcut. Maybe there should be some other alternative instead of %doc to put file on usr/share/doc/-name-version/

Please note that File Commander is not freeware.


Yes, that is the shareware version. It has no registration information at all on the RPM.

Hardware / Remove Audio Adapter - Warp 4 - VM
« on: February 28, 2021, 04:38:27 am »
Hi

I have a Warp 4 VM (Virtualbox) with the SoundBlaster driver and I had changed it to Uniaud with Intel HD.
Now it produce sounds, but I think it has two audio adapters registered. I had selected Uniaud as the default device, system audio produces sound, but does not work when I double click wav files.

Do I have to remove the old SoundBlaster entry from somewhere (INI files?) ?

Regards

Hi

FYI: These are the rpm OS/2 macros:
http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/rpm/spec/trunk/SPECS/os2-rpm/macros.os2

Interesting:

Quote
# Converts back slashes to forward slashes.
%os2_fwdslashes()

# Converts forward lashes to back slashes.
%os2_backslashes()

Hi

I'm also trying to create a File Commnader/2 RPM installer, but I'm still fighting to create the WPS object for the readme located on %doc.

This is not working, it puts me the %doc on the path as text:
Quote
FC2_README:WPProgram|File Commander/2 Read Me|<FC2_FOLDER>|EXENAME=e.exe;\PROGTYPE=PROG_PM;PARAMETERS=((%doc/fc.txt));OPEN=RUNNING

Ideas are welcome.

Thanks Paul.

It keeps working fine here on the ArcaOS 5.0.6 VirtualBox VM (Intel HD Audio) on W10 host on the TP Yoga 14.
- Sound, Master Volume working, No Trap.

Paul, can you please check this ticket suggestion to change the  /V "boot messages" of the driver: http://trac.netlabs.org/uniaud/ticket/246. I guess it should not be a complex thing, but it is up to you.

Thank you very much. I had include it on the Wiki, it always makes me happy to include information about this industrial machines that work with OS/2.

Hi

I will like to solve the question:
- Which modern 8 Port serial card works on ArcaOS-OS/2 ?
By modern, I may refer to PCI and PCI-e that are available for sale today.

Update: I checked Amazon to see some options, but it is kind of hard to get some device to test those with OS/2.
- Syba SY-PEX15019 PCI-Express RS-232 Serial 8-Port Card with OXPCIe958 Chipset  - $60.66 (Chipset)
- StarTech.com 8-Port PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card - PCIe RS232 Serial Card - 16C1050 UART.  - US$ 164.99 (Website)
- IO CREST 8 Port DB9 Serial RS-232 PCI-e x1 Controller Card with Low Profile Bracket SY-PEX15067  - $102.99  - (Website)

Regards

As I said above, I have tested the StarTech board above and it does not work.

Good, so I guess we can cross out the 16C1050 UART chipset, since it does not have OS/2 support.

Regards

Hi Rick

Are you using ArcaOS and Odin from the RPM?

The Windows directory structure is on "C:\var\lib\odin", but for the first time put "MSCVRT.DLL" in the same directory of the .exe you are trying to run. Remember that not all Win32 applications will run with Odin.

Which Windows program are you trying to run?
I tried to recreate the Win32 database of programs that runs on OS/2 on the wiki, but I'm still missing a lot.

Regards
