Applications / QT frontend to unixodbc
« on: August 28, 2015, 11:00:32 pm »
Where can one ask if someone can build a QT app?

unixodbc (http://www.unixodbc.org/) has been separated into the "engine" and the "driver manager" where the later use QT4 as gui. The engine has been ported to OS/2 - eCS, but where do we ask for someone to build the qt4 gui for it?

Yumie should be extended further to address the problems that every day users face. The script dllCleanOut may hopefully with your help provide a base how to take care of files that yumie doesn't take into account yet.

I can try to extend the script further. The idea behind dllCleanOut is to look in the usr\lib folder for dlls and then search for each dll in the libpath (excluding usr\lib) and unlock duplicates and rename them. The dll files in usr\lib will be loaded after the next reboot.

Please tell me how the script should search the system to determine what should be left and what should be renamed. Feel free to provide functions to take care of whatever has to be taken care of and I'll try to glue it all together.

I'll think about that. My approach was to deactivate/rename .dlls in use in wrong library folders rather than rewriting config.sys. Would you like my script to pause in the end perhaps, not show the unlocking part but rather just the file names it work on?

Yumie that Alex Taylor is working on should take care of it all.

Yumie is not complete yet, but it look quite nice and provide a gui for rpm and yum. I sure hope to see a version out really soon so that we can begin to use it and let some parts be developed/tuned/activated later as it mature.

Hello,

thank you for your reply.
I have just installed eComStation v2.2 Beta but apparently have to manually remove those installed libc0*.dll that is in the way in the ecs\dll folder.

There is a real problem to update addons and language packs not limited to individual languages or .xpi-files. The problem is present with Swedish (sv_SE.xpi) as well, but also updates of regular addons for firefox 31.8 Beta 5. Please do note that the addons once installed (from earlier versions) work.

My tests doesn't indicate that the path or update procedure is the cause, mainly as I've repeated this procedure since I found out where the language packs can be found on the net several versions ago.

Firefox even found the language pack and version to install this time, a great leap forward.
Something stop both the automatic and manual update procedure.

Get the extension:
PARSE VALUE REVERSE( fullfilename ) WITH ext'.'base
ext = REVERSE( ext )

Determine file type with magic numbers:
file_size = STREAM( fullfilename, 'C', 'QUERY SIZE' )
IF file_size < 4 THEN RETURN 99 /* Error, not a complete file?! */

magic.1 = '55 122 188 175 39 28'
magic.1.format = '7z'
magic.2 = '80 75 3 4'
magic.2.format = 'zip'
magic.0 = 2
magic.0.max = 0

/* Build Magic Numbers */
DO i = 1 TO magic.0
  magic.i.code = ''
  DO j = 1 TO WORDS( magic.i )
    magic.i.code = magic.i.code||D2C(SUBWORD( magic.i, j, 1 ))
  END
  magic.0.max = MAX( magic.0.max, WORDS( magic.i ) )
END

/* Read the first characters from the file */
input = CHARIN( fullfilename, 1, magic.0.max )
CALL STREAM fullfilename, 'C', 'CLOSE'

/* Compare the magic characters/numbers with the list we have */
DO i = 1 TO magic.0
  DO j = 1 TO WORDS( magic.i )
    IF LEFT( input, LENGTH( magic.i.code ) ) = magic.i.code THEN
      RETURN magic.i.format
  END
END

/* No match found */
RETURN ''

Very good points!

The important thing to come up with is how Open Source / 2 should attract enough developers and users so the large crowd of people will be attracted and come our way later on. There has to be more to Open Source / 2 and a long term plan to attract enough attention. Nothing should be left to coincidence.
Open Source / 2 can be based on substantial ideas and methods that we improve and not force one opinion or the other. Some should be able to work on it as spare time projects, some in full time and others everything in between.

What attract the developers? What can the OS/2 community attract them with?
Why would a developer choose to join the OS/2 community?

The proper answer to that is important if Open Source / 2 should play an important part.

Hello,

the open source movement is strong and we that use OS/2 and eComStation benefit from several projects that originate or build on open source projects. Martin has done a great job to open source software and collecting sources.

What's the plan and how do we make best use of the source code?! Source code doesn't compile itself, someone has to do it and get a project afloat?

Ohhh, ooRexx from the OS/2 sources of course

I like your suggestions to improve the wps. :D

Updated UnixODBC Manager (with appropriate drivers) with the QT4 GUI
Good multimedia support (Integrate mplayer/ffmpeg to enhance MMOS2)
Web Browser

Regarding editing PDF's... it would be possible if someone would compile the OpenOffice plugin that allow us to edit PDF's

Programming / Google KML/KMZ to CSV
« on: June 12, 2015, 07:37:55 pm »
Hello,

I've been busy writing scripts that help me extract information from Google Maps.

Here's a script that does the opposite, it take a Google Map KML/KMZ file and convert the information into a csv file that can be used within Lotus 123, OpenOffice Calc etc.

It basically tries to unzip the file if it's a .kmz-file and read and interpret the xml-file into something usable. (See attachment if you're logged on)

Parameter: filename.kml or filename.kmz
Additional parameter: output.txt or something that can be used as output with tab separated values
Defaults to Standard Out on screen
Extra parameter: Tag such as "body" to limit the input between that tag but it only work when the environment variable fiberkartan has been set to 1.

I've modified my script and it can now add .png-images to the bigicons folder and rewrite the configuration file before it add a program object and launch the java app. I've tested BlueJ and JSoko and both start and run, white BlueJ seem to need something more.

Place your .ico and .png next to the .jar-file with the same base name to get a nice program object on the desktop.

What's the output from java.exe -version in GoldenCode java 1.4.1.07 and Innotek java 1.4.2?
Additional rows to the one below should be added to support those versions.
java_2_dir = rxFind( 'JAVA.EXE', ' -version', 'OPENJDK VERSION "1.' )
