Programming / Re: trying a first port
« on: February 16, 2015, 07:48:39 pm »
Easiest is to have a config.site file. The config.site file will be automatically found if at $PREFIX/share/config.site or found by set CONFIG_SITE.
Also note that different shells work different and with the RPM/YUM environment and ash as the shell you're better off recreating the auto files.
Code: [Select]
export ac_executable_extensions=.exe
export ac_exeext=.exe
You can add other needed stuff if configure has a problem finding it
Code: [Select]
export INSTALL=f:/usr/bin/install.exe
export lt_cv_path_SED=sed.exe
export lt_ac_sed=sed.exe
with all latest rpm/yum dev packages like autoconf, libtool, automake ... you can bootstrap everything nicely. No need to fiddle with a config.site file.

Applications / Re: Status of NetDrive?
« on: February 09, 2015, 09:39:37 am »
What is the current status of NetDrive?

I see BMT Mirco still selling it => http://www.bmtmicro.com/BMTCatalog/os2/netdrive.html, but the actual developer site http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com/netdrive/ only shows up in Arabic when I attempt to go there and Google Translate appears to indicate this is some sort of skin care advertisement... :o

So....is this effectively almost abandon-ware now? Or is this still a real product? Is anyone supporting it?

I'm curious because I installed the latest version (3.1.4) to try it out, basically linking to one of my WinXP machines...it does that great. Now that my media server is here (ZyXEL NSA325) I would like to fully test it out and see to what extent I can move my multiple HPFS partitions over to that storage media. It seems like NetDrive would allow this functionality fairly easily.

NSA325 box has other interface functionality, I could deploy NFS, FTP or even TFTP, however, I would much prefer to deploy something that is more streamlined and easier to configure.

Don't worry NetDrive is still alive. Only blueprintsoftwareworks seems to be gone. But this was just a service which the developer used.
We at bitwise have regularly contact with the developer and also sell NetDrive.

Setup & Installation / Re: RPM/YUM update
« on: February 02, 2015, 01:41:18 pm »
Unfortunatly it does not work:

[C:\]yum clean all

[C:\]yum update

netlabs-rel/primary_db    100% |=========================| 658 kB    00:10
Impostazione processo di aggiornamento
Errore: Il pacchetto con tupla ('libgcc446', 'i386', '0', '4.4.6.17', '1.oc00')

[C:\]

using netlabs-exp repository is not really a good idea, if you are not a developer/user knowing how to downgrade rpm's and such.
In the exp repo might be broken/unfinished rpm's or rpm's just for testing purposes
So be warned.

Applications / Re: GCC1.dll???
« on: February 02, 2015, 01:38:01 pm »
If this is going to be a replacement fot GCCxxx just how is it going to co-exist with all the other variants or is someone going to re-port all the other programs?

It will have forwarder dll's to the older gccxxx.dll. The same way as libc also has.

Hi Alex

Yes, tried that already: I used "Print to file" and then tried viewing the print file in GSView5.0

The text is displayed in black and greyscale - exactly like the printed output.

I'm convinced that the problem is the AOO4.1.1 print output as the same document prints in colour from OO115 for Windows running via ar5os2.exe,  OO3.1.1 for OS/2 and OO3.2.0 for OS/2.

Pete
Hi,

please try the following: in jop properties from the printer change "Color" to "Black and white". And report if this fixes printing.
When this is the case we know thats what we found out is the same as you saw.
Please also update the aoo ticket according to your findings.

thanks and regards
Silvan

Hi
could you also add the output of OO 3.2 to the ticket? As comparing 3.2 to 4.1 does a lot better than comparing to 1.1.5.

I notified Elbert Pol, who ported the browsers, of the problem.

did you also open a ticket? IMHO that's needed, so no one forgets it.

(5) JAVA update
(6) Updated versions of email clients and browsers (BitWise is doing excellent work on Mozilla clients and browsers - please keep it up)
(7) Updates on Open Office (ver 4 is just around the corner - great work!)

Eirik
Eirik,

a java update comes after we have done SWT.
Qt will also get an update.
FFox is ongoing, as you wrote and AOO is also very near now.

Virtual Box is being worked on and has been for over 4 months now, with disappointing progress, but yes progress. I've managed to compile 4 different working early versions of VirtualBox sources. But my limited experience and knowledge with GCC is the reason I'm unable to progress, so far, on 5 newer versions that I'm trying to get to compile. Help I've received from  Dave Yeo is the only reason I've been able to get this far.
  I would welcome any person proficient in compiling with GCC, limited knowledge of the internal workings of VirtualBox, and having an abundance of time and patience, willing to put up with my short comings, to help me get a usable more up-to-date version of VirtualBox for the OS/2 community.

klipp,
the problem of a later VBox is not the app and the gui itself. The problem is the driver. And for this there is only one or possible two persons which could update that. As the gui is Qt4 based this is not our concern. And yes the VBox update is since very long on our todo, but the driver dev had still no time to look into it.

When I started this thread I was observing that the updated YUM files, when installed, seemed to be causing the following problems, Silvan, when attempting to install anything else. The message reads

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

Killed by SIGABRT
pid=0x0069 ppid=0x0068 tid=0x0001 slot=0x00d1 pri=0x0200 mc=0x0001
D:\USR\BIN\PYTHON.EXE
Process dumping was disabled, use DUMPPROC / PROCDUMP to enable it.
as far as I understood you installed ecs 2.2beta and this also installed rpm/yum. Then you installed the bootstrap and installed yum again.
As the bootstrap installs an older yum/rpm this of course leads to version missmatch.

So when you just install ecs 2.2 beta and then do a yum update you are save. At least I see no reason why this should not work. All my system have rpm/yum on them and I never had any problems.

I finally had a chance this week to have a look at the eCS 2.2 install - under Software - System Extensions, I found "Package Management Framework for Unix Ports" which contained RPM/YUM (Checked by default). Two separate menu items under System Extensions were "QT4" (checked by default) and "ODIN32" (checked by default).

Don't know if there are dependencies between the three or at least between YUM and QT4 as unchecking the various items made no difference to the others (but this is only a beta).

Qt4 and odin are installed as rpm, so as long as one is checked rpm/yum gets installed anyway

Typing Yum Install Yum from the command prompt works the same. What I got when I tried it with the eCS 2.2 install was:

When rpm/yum is already installed with ecs 2.2 beta, why do you want to install it again? All you have to do would be a yum update.
This will update all old stuff to the most recent.

I held off on the update and will file a bug report to Netlabs and let them sort out if something needs to be fixed.
Afaik there is nothing to sort out, as the process works as it should. At least I see no errors.

Hi all,

you are sure that Port 5222 is open and not somehow protected by a firewall?
Could you eventually show the psi settings you use?

I only use gmail/gtalk with psi, and this works w/o problems.

Silvan, just a quick not. There is a little mistake on QPDFView install.os2.

It says:

poppler
-------

  1. yum poppler poppler-qt

I think it is: yum install poppler-qt

My issue is that I don't use CUPS and it is mandatory for it to run. CUPS  gives me trouble installing it. I  need to read more about it. It says it need to be installed on the root but I don't want to do that.
Please always open a ticket for such things. I can't go over all Forums and look for possible bugs.

regards
Silvan
