I find it the best method to avoid inclusion of these files. That applies also to libcn. If you want to support people who defer to use RPM/YUM, I see it as the only option to provide the required files in a separate package. (Steve Wendt did that for Mozilla versions.) With "package" I mean also "file". That means: create a special .wpi with these DLLs, but better keep them quite hidden to ensure people don't install them by mistake.Very helpful remarks. Since 15 years, I on and off release some Warpin packages for DOSBOX. Nobody ever complained about how I package it or suggested how to do it better.
Dave has already described what the biggest problem for other apps may be. So, easiest is to just refer to the "yum install" command to install the prerequisites. What WarpIN can do, is to check for prerequisites and defer installation without it. Let's see, if I find time during the weekend to give examples and to add that to the Dosbox .wis script.
How are you building Dosbox, GCC or OpenWatcom? And likewise with the SDL libraries?GCC 4, SDL from RPM.
Yes, but the DLLs are installed in DOSBOX's directory. DLL hell, I know, but at least nothing gets mixed up.Again, LIBCN works on most OS/2 versions, AFAIK. So DOSBOX will work with it.If I use LIBCN, I will include it.
So, please stop your crusade in this thread, because it's not approbiate in the case of DOSBOX.
Or, do you know breaking changes happening in LIBCN?
The problem with including any version of libc, including LIBCN is that in a year, after LIBCN has been updated, a user might download your package and downgrade LIBCN and break other packages that depend on new functionality.
HiYou would also need V8, the Javascript interpreter running. It has a lot of dependencies.
Just from a theoretical point of view, I want to know what would be needed to have Node.js stand alone apps to run on OS/2.
What are the framework, library set and/or runtimes that are needed to have node.js application like Riot.im , Butter Project (base for popcorn time) and others running as stand alone apps? I know that some node.js apps runs on Firefox on OS/2 like Riot.im, but I was wondering what is needed to have those running as stand alone.
This is just for my knowledge, don't think that I'm saying it is the #1 priority for us.
