Programming / Re: Which GCC compiler version do people recommend?
« on: May 05, 2019, 10:52:21 pm »

libgcc has changed/added functions since the GCC 4.9.2 version and corresponding libgcc1.dll

To avoid having to rely on an updated libgcc1.dll; I recommend you link with -static-libgcc which helps avoid a DLL dependency

Cheers,

Paul

Thanks Paul

This worked unfortunately the resulting PMMail produced corrupted headers (blank from). It still trapped with -O1 or higher.

Paul thanks for the link.

I got it to build but it doesn't run. No error message when I tried from command line. I have this in popuplog.os2.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Paul

Where can I get 8.3? Thanks

Hi

I am building PMMail with gcc 4.92. If I use -O1 or -O2 optimization pmmail traps on loading a folder. If I use -Og or none it works fine. I am thinking this might be caused by a defect in 4.92. I am wondering what newer gcc version people recommend so I can test this theory?

Thanks

BUT: PMMail crashes with the new libc under some circumstance when accessing a folder (I have to take a deeper look into that, but looking into the log says that it's a problem with memory allocation)

I had this happen too. I believe it is caused by a corrupt message file in the folder. I had to remove some files from my inbox using FM/2 to get PMMail to load. I created a new folder and put some of the files in it returning others to the inbox. The inbox works but indexing the new folder traps. I haven't had time to track down the offending file.

Since I am trying to troubleshoot the Lucide issue I should note I am using the new libc also.

Hey Gregg,


I will log a new ticket for Gregg, hopefully he hasn't grown tired of seeing yet another defect being reported by 'yours trully' 8-P

Not a problem. Unfortunately I also suspect it is Poppler and that would mean that there may be little I can do about it. I will look at it when I get home.

What build of poppler are you using, and how is it being called from Lucide? Happy to take a look at the poppler source and see if there's anything obvious in there...

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul

We need someone to confirm at what point this was broken. Version 1.3.6 changed several things Poppler was updated from 0.20.3 to 0.42.0 and it changed from static linking to dynamic linking. I do not know if this version shows the problem or not. It also upgraded libc to 0.6.6 from 0.6.5 and changed to gcc 4.92 from 3.35.

Version 1.4.0 updated Poppler to 0.52.0 and the beta Dariusz is using is linked to 0.59.0. These are the netlabs RPM builds. Please note that this build  (0.59.0) has been patch to prevent the exhaustion of OS2 mutex handles.

Hopefully, 1.3.6 is still in netlabs incoming as I can't rebuild it since I no longer have the Poppler 0.42.0 libs and can't seem to find 1.3.6 locally (can probably get the libs/includes from bitwise if needed).  Thanks

Programming / Re: OW, JNI (GCC built java 1.6) and parameters
« on: April 02, 2019, 09:06:53 am »
An exception handler for this was added to libcx 0.6.4. Simply linking to libcx should take care of this.

Hi Gregg

I cannot find the icon for the program java creation in the toolbars menu.  I am using FM/2 version 3.24.  It could be I just don't recognize the icon.  I will continue to look.

Gregg, can you take a pic and post.  I even enabled toolbar titles and don't see it.

David

It's not on the tool bar as far as I remember. You can find it on the Create object submenu. I am not near an OS2 box so I can't actually check. Thanks

Years ago when I was helping Steve Levine and John Small with FM/2, that was one of my requested features.  Unfortunately, they never had time to implement it.  The program has a menu program object to create an Object, a Shadow, and I was hoping a Java object could be added.  Unfortunately, they never go around to it and have got busy doing other endeavers.  People don't realize how powerful this file manager is.  If I remember correctly, it was original designed by Mark Kimes to be used as a replacement for the WPS if one so chose.

I added JAVA object creation to FM2 multiple years ago. It is available in the latest version. If it's not working please let me know as it works here.

Well in this case we need to provide financial support to BWW that helps to finish QT.

Being at Sigurd Fastenrath his OS/2 meeting in Cologne about 3 weeks ago, Lewis Rosenthal gave a Q&A to the people. He mentioned USB 3.0 is close to going into beta. And they are looking at UEFI.

What do you mean with bugs about loading DLL's high. Are these bugs reported to Arca Noae ?

QtCore 5.11 porting and testing finished

 

We are proud to announce that we finished porting *and testing* the QtCore module of the Qt library version 5.11 for OS/2! This makes the text-mode part of Qt officially ready to go (including the QtNetwork, QtXml and a bunch of other utility modules). The test suite for QtCore contains 189 test units with a total amount of almost 70k tests! The release build passes 68666 tests (with only 2 occasionally failing because of the too coarse OS/2 system timer — this is to be fixed soon). The debug build passes 68572 tests (with only 2 failures as well, for the same reason). This is quite a number. Apparently, Qt5 is going to be the best Qt for OS/2 port ever.

We at bitwise wish you all Happy New Year! We also want to thank those of you who supported us through all the past years! We are looking forward into 2019 where we plan to finish Qt 5 and bring a new browser experience to the OS/2 platform (among other nice Qt 5 applications out there).

The DLL issue was reported by Rich Walsh (ticket 2194). Also I received the message above from BWW last night. Yet another reason to donate to them. Best wishes for 2019.

Currently I've got around 60% of all my DOS games running fine on ArcaOS, but 40%... well.. there are some issues like slowish execution, no sound, or it doesn't work at all.. no error messages whatsoever. - If "we" can establish ArcaOS and/or OS/2 in general to be THE DOS gaming platform, this will be helping a lot to make OS/2ish operating systems more widely known among gamers.

Hi Mathias

Have you tried the vcompat.sys driver? It claims to fix some things that will allow more DOS games to work. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/system/vCOMPATv035b.zip I'm not really a gamer so I can't say how well it works but it might be worth a look. It also addresses the 2GB disk size limit issue.

Dave's assessment is correct. They may push the fix to the beta testers for the next beta.

There is a ticket in the ArcaOS bug tracker and it appears the issue may have been fixed.

2Gregg Young: Oh, nice. So, you added the "WINDOW" keyword to wrc.exe? (Or it's Steven's fixes?)
IIRC, the version from OW 1.9 didn't supported adding resources to OS/2 binaries during the linking,
though, it did support that for windows binaries. But supported adding resources to existing OS/2
binaries (after they are linked). So, it's good to know if newer versions of wrc from OW 2.0 support
adding resources to OS/2 binaries during linking?

2Valery Sedletski I added the "WINDOW" support. Steven did the high memory stuff for the linker. I also fixed some issues with wipfc.exe which is in the netlabs version but should also be in Frank's snapshot version since all the code was committed.

You said that the snapshot 2.0 linker worked for vbox. Did you use wlink? I didn't see wl in the package. I built wl from the latest code if you would like to try it I can send it to you. Contact me at ygk at qwest dot net.
