I tested your version and I can verify that it works well.
Will you continue to integrate more features from TenFourFox?

I have replaced the first version with a version with correct attribution.

Oh, I'm very sorry. You are correct. I just copy and paste it from the wrong place, it seems.
When, I get home, I correct it and upload the correct version.

I used Andreas' scripts and David's great icons to build package.
Can somebody else please test it. It looks good to me.

Hi Andreas.

Big thanks for the Warpin scripts. I will test them.


Bye Jochen

I don't know anymore. Perhaps it was the DOSBOX configure script acting up.
In the end, it comes down to me wanting to produce the RPM packages for the dependencies, but not being able to.
I wanted to look into the SDL source package, anyway. Perhaps there I can unearth something.

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.

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.
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.
Thank you Andreas and Dave.

How are you building Dosbox, GCC or OpenWatcom? And likewise with the SDL libraries?
GCC 4, SDL from RPM.
I have to built the SDL dependencies like Ogg, SDL_net statically. I'm not able to build DLLs from them.

1.) The DLLs are their own package and don't need to be installed. @Andreas, how can I switch the default state of a package. Honestly, 15 years ago, when starting porting and maintaining DOSBOX, somebody write me the Warpin scripts.

2.) @Dave: Good hint. I will try to insert that in the next release.

EDIT:
3.) I really would to also build an RPM version, but I can't even get the SDL extension to build, because dynamic build seems to be impossible.

I'm open to suggestion about how to make the package better and more reliable. I'm just not familiar with every OS/2 intricacy, as I'm only use it to build DOSBOX.

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.
Yes, but the DLLs are installed in DOSBOX's directory. DLL hell, I know, but at least nothing gets mixed up.

Hey guys.

Calm down. There is a reason, why I include all the necessary DLLs in the DOSBOX package.
That I once build a binary with a still experimental DLL was a slip.
Martin is helpfully pointing me to the new status of LIBCN.
What is not helpful is the bickering about the one true OS/2. You don't need RPM for DOSBOX.
BTW, if you get the newest LIBC from a non-RPM source and build against it, guess what, you are still needing LIBCN.

So, please stop it guys.

Programming / Re: What is needed for Node.js apps?
« on: May 07, 2019, 04:23:35 pm »
Hi

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.

Regards
You would also need V8, the Javascript interpreter running. It has a lot of dependencies.
