Article Discussions / Re: ecs 2.2
« on: November 14, 2013, 07:59:03 am »
XWorkPlace (eWorkPlace) was developed on eCS money. It's open-source because all efforts of the developer were compensated.

what a load of rubbish. Ulrich Moeller did the bulk of development, and made it open source. Paul Ratcliffe has supported it since Ulrich departed. To the best of my knowledge, neither of these guys were paid a cent from eCS money.

Has anybody been able to get a Samsung CLP-365w to work in any fashion (cups or other method) with eCS? I managed to get a Samsung CLP-310 to finally work by "butchering up" a ppd but the 310 died and was not worth the cost of a new fuser unit. But I've been unable to do the same with the CLP-365w so I have to stick with Linux for anything that needs printing.
Thanks for ANY possible solutions!

In theory this can work with foo2qpdl - see http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/read.php?77,3662,3662

If there is interest and commitment to testing the results, I can look at building the latest source.

Programming / Re: Test build of GCC 4.7.3 available

4.8.2 is built, however it currently has issues compiling apps that use API's declaring using _System - ie most/all OS/2 api's declared in os2emx.h.

dllexport is not (yet) tested.  Will try get this sorted out in the next week or so, but running short on spare time recently....

I have built latest hplip - I just need to find time to test and package it.

HP is my recommended brand of printer for eCS - as there drivers are kept up to date for linux and are opensource.  gutenprint is lagging - canon/epson seem to only be supported by gutenprint.

HPLIP 3.13.3 exists on my system - I can easily bump it to the current version, there just hasn't been a whole lot of demand for it....

GCC 4.7.x is likely to be the last release of GCC I will build, as with GCC 4.8.x they moved to a C++ implementation for the compiler, so the patches would need to be completely rewritten for GCC 4.8.  Based on the levels of interest in the OS and developer tools....... I will continue to investigate bugs in this and other GCC releases I've done, as well as bump the version for any further GCC minor releases (ie GCC 4.7.4)

Seems I was wrong about GCC 4.8.x

I downloaded the sources this evening and applied the 4.7.3 patches fairly cleanly. Now will see if it builds....

Applications / Quassel IRC client v0.9.1 now available
« on: October 21, 2013, 11:02:24 am »
Hi All,

I ported Quassel 0.9.1 and added it to my site at http://os2ports.smedley.id.au

This time, as well as quassel.exe, which includes the core & client in a single executable, I included quasselcore.exe & quasselclient.exe

quasselcore is really core - it can be run on a server, and can maintain a permanent connection to IRC.

quasselclient can then connect to the core and you can scrollback and see what you missed whilst the client was disconnected.  There is also an android client, QuasselDroid that can be used to connect to a core.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Wim!

Therefore support for isochronous transfers need to be added to usbresmg.sys so it can be used instead. This is something I am considering to dive into when time permits. Both weblook and webview have been coded in turbo assembler.

This would be awesome, as then support could also be added to libusb for isochronous transfers :)

Applications / Re: Gimp on OS/2

Hello, Paul.

It has been a good while now, since this thread was updated.

Is it the GIMP port to OS/2 officially dead?

Just curious...


Not dead, I've just been distracted. It happens quite easily :) I'll try get back to it someday

Applications / KeePassX 0.4.3 ported
« on: October 13, 2013, 10:13:58 am »
Hi Guys,

I came across KeePassX recently as I was looking for a cross platform application to store/generate passwords for websites.  I wanted something that I could access as a minimum from my android phone, linux and mac computers.  KeePassX fits the bill nicely, so I thought I'd also build it for OS/2.

Seems to work ok based on very brief testing. Requires the Qt 4.7.3 runtime dll's.

http://smedley.id.au/tmp/keepassx-0.4.3-os2.zip

I'm aware there is an existing port of one of the v2.0 alphas, however the database formats aren't compatible, and most people still seem to use 0.4.3

Feedback appreciated!

Cheers

Paul.

fate tests fail here with:
Test eval failed. Look at tests/data/fate/eval.err for details.

http://smedley.id.au/tmp/eval.err

That'll be the FPU exception bug where the Presentation Manager re-enables FPU exceptions without saving state and restoring state, my V4+free updates install doesn't have it.
Easiest fix is to add

OK will try it tomorrow - too many beers tonight - had an engagement party this afternoon :)

HI Dave,

Will see what I can do - I think GCC 3.3.5 had something similar too...

Still need to investigate your ffmpeg issue too.

Cheers,

Paul
