Hi Dave,

In theory it may also be possible to have an ELF loader to load the Linux CUPS plugins. This is how XFree/2 loaded Linux graphic drivers and that code is available. How hard it would be, I don't know. And as usual there is the shortage of talented developers.

There is already an elfomf.exe (http://www.os2site.com/sw/dev/gcc/misc/elfomf.zip) but unfortunately source isn't available.  I guess this could convert a elf format static lib into omf format? However, most closed source plugins are in .so format....

Cheers,

Paul

Hardware / Re: H.P. 3630 - anybody got one of these working on OS2?
« on: October 23, 2016, 10:16:44 am »
Hi Klipp,

The reason it can print a "test page" in CUPS but not actually print with eCS is because it has no RJ-45 port. So David's solution seems to be the only way to make it work, but it is a very acceptable solution.

Not sure what you're trying to say here? My HP printer has no rj45 port but can print from CUPS via either USB or wireless...

Cheers,

Paul

Hi David,

As the printer is an all-in-one - I could not get the scanner to work with Paul's HPLip port - however the printer allows you to remote scan using its web interface in ECS - which works really well and is cool!!

I'd be interested in seeing some logs from sane + hplip if you're interested in getting it working?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Klipp,

Got this printer working on Linux & Windoz but havn't been able to get it working on OS2 (surprise, suprise!)
Using the new H.P. Drivers it prints a test page with OS2 using CUPs but seems it's not capable of working using USB connection.
Anybody got any ideas?

Which install of hplip are you using? my builds or the rpm ones? Make sure you have the latest usbresmg.sys/usbcalls.dll/usb drivers installed from Lars.

it should be possible to make it work if the test page works....

I would also try printing a pdf or postscript file from the command line using lpr.exe to rule out an issue with the configuration of the port driver.

debug logs are also useful.....

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Andi,

..I just sent them an email, asking if binaries are available at all for OS/2...
I did the same years ago. Unfortunately I never got an answer. Hope you've more luck.

I got an answer stating that the OS/2 binaries are unavailable. I've followed them up to ask if they object to current licensed users sharing the binaries and making the software available as unsupported freeware.

Cheers,

Setup & Installation / Re: eCS install problems on a recent mainboard

From what i understand, the sources for Linux have been incorporated into the Linux Kernel, so it has become very difficult to simply lift that code, and make it work for OS/2. The BSD sources are much more user friendly, so that will be where we get future NIC drivers.

The same as the above happened with ALSA - makes it very difficult to support new sound devices on OS/2.

Cheers,

Paul

Programming / Re: Test build of GCC v6.1.0 for OS/2
« on: October 02, 2016, 11:14:08 am »
Hey Andy,

Thanks Paul... were you successful in getting Go to work?

I wasn't with the previous version of GCC, however, KO came up with some thread enhancements that might help things - I'll give it another crack when I get some free time.

Test build of GCC 6.2.0 is at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/gcc-6.2.0-os2-20160925.zip
might need libcx 0.3.1 from https://github.com/bitwiseworks/libcx/issues/15

Feedback appreciated,

Paul

I thought we found out that Visual SlickEdit version 4 was released as free abandonware. It was on the eComStation e-mail list, but I can't find it now.

I have a licensed copy of version 4, but I'm a little curious about the status of the program.
I searched my emails, so far, the only reference I can find is on the UnixOS2 list in 2006 in the thread "Editor suggestions".  In it you mention the abandonware and possible freeware state of it.

I just sent them an email, asking if binaries are available at all for OS/2. Will advise here what response I get.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Dave,

Paul, perhaps this would help, https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/blob/master/ipc/chromium/src/third_party/libevent/select.c and of course above this is other fixes that dmik did.

Thanks, but I shoplifted these fixes a while ago. I'd also hoped that the select() changes in libcx would help, but unfortunately not.

Cheers,

Paul

Internet / Re: iCloud access

Hi Neil,

At least the first page of drive.google.com loads fine, and my files are still there.

iCloud still does not load here.

It probably isn't overly helpful, but www.icloud.com loads OK here in Firefox 48 under Ubuntu...

Cheers,

Programming / Re: Compiling PM app on 2016.
« on: August 14, 2016, 10:12:19 pm »
Hmm, seems that min and max macros are defined in the toolkits stdlib.h but not in the kLIBC stdlib.h. Not sure about the best way to use the toolkits stdlib.h so simplest to add the macro.

Should I open a ticket for stdlib.h to be updated on the KLIBC project? Does it makes sense?

No it makes no sense as "min" and "max" macros are not ANSI compliant and therefore not required.
In reality, most compiler's header files supply these macros as they are used so often. But ANSI does not define them ...

klibc sys/param.h has:
/*
 * minimum and maximum macros. Use available g++ tricks.
 */
#if defined(__cplusplus) && (__GNUC__ >= 2) && (__GNUC__ <= 3)
# define MIN(a, b)      ( (a) <? (b) )
# define MAX(a, b)      ( (a) >? (b) )
#else
# define MIN(a, b)      ( (a) < (b) ? (a) : (b) )
# define MAX(a, b)      ( (a) > (b) ? (a) : (b) )
#endif
so
#define min MIN
#define max MAX

should also work.... (assuming sys/param.h gets loaded somewhere)

Hi Greggory,

Here is what I get:
Code: [Select]
rsync -v -e ssh e:/tmp/test.txt root@192.168.1.100:/home/root

Code: [Select]
[[E:\TMP\UNZIP\SSH]rsync -av -e "ssh" e:/tmp/test.txt root@192.168.1.100:/home/root

NOTE: using the old ssh I get the same rsync error, but ssh connects correctly.

Is there a bug with rsync 3.09 ?

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-12/msg00529.html

No idea - I'll have to setup a rsync server on by Ubuntu box and test locally....

Maybe something is missing:

[c:\tmp\ssha]ssh -l testuser sky10
You don't exist, go away!

I refreshed the zip that will hopefully address this...

Hi Guys,

Also, an  updated Rysnc that works over SSh would be great !

Hey guys. openssh relies on some terminal stuff that is present in EMX but not in klibc (IIRC). I think there were also some issues with select() that may be addressed by dmik's libcx

If we can get openssh working with klibc, rsync over ssh should work. rsync built with klibc won't work with an EMX build of openssh (or vice versa)

I found a post from Dave Saville that confirmed my recollection of the issues with porting a recent openssh. With the introduction of a select() that works with file handles in libcx, I'll try recompiling openssh again. It may not be suitable as an ssh client due to the terminal stuff, but for use with things like rsync, the terminal stuff shouldn't matter.

The results don't quite match my memory.

There's an ssh.exe at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/ssh.zip

Terminal stuff is messed up, but it does appear to work.  No select() errors that I saw, if I linked it against libcx0 then I got an error connecting to the host....

I'd be interested to see if this works with rsync....
