Hello Dave

I tried it here, with the ./data from the older binaries. But it tells me it can not find it, even if the file is there.
Is is something that is not recognizing between / and \ ?

Regards

Hmm, built easily as it didn't screw around trying to make sure sdlmixer etc works.
I built it with --disable-install and it seems to look for its data in ..\data. Complete data directory uploaded to the repository.
Problem, it crashes if you choose full screen from the menu. ALT-HOME works fine to switch to full screen and back.
Very lightly tested. Might need the sdlzombies.dat file in the same directory as sdlzombies.exe, I haven't tested but will include it in the zip.
Edit: Actually I think the sdlzombies.dat file is generated when sdlzombies.exe is run so unneeded, should test.
Edit2: The F key is supposed to also switch to full screen. Using it, the full screen version is broken and I had to close the program as it stopped taking commands.

Hi David

I think you need to issue the command

   \mptn\bin\arp -f

before requesting a new ip lease.
This should flush the arp tables so the old ip should not get re-used.

Hardware / Re: OS/2 for Industrial Use

I think mainframe control might qualify as "industrial use" - although must of us have seen this "use" in past.

Right at the new year the Youtube gods decided I needed to see
Daily driving a 1998 IBM s/390 Mainframe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn1E2On_sok

which led me to the video
IBM Mainframe in my College Apartment, with Ancient Linux and SNA Networking!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MldoPkd349M
which shows quite a bit of OS/2 as the controlling program for the mainframe

She also has this, which isn't industrial use but might be interesting.

You deleted in \mptn\bin\setup.cmd static entries before and added dhclient then reboot? You can edit setup.cmd manually or with tcpcfg*.* or with the object that points to it.

Looking at sdlZombies, some stuff seems to be missing.
Code: [Select]
configure.in:80: error: required file 'data/sounds/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in:80: error: required file 'data/zombies/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in:80: error: required file 'data/environ/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in:80: error: required file 'data/menu/Makefile.in' not found

data/Makefile.am:1: error: required directory data/environ does not exist

This seems to be complete, http://hocwp.free.fr/sdlzombies-1.0.0.tar.gz
Now to start over :)
