Problem in dependancies
by Sylvain Petreolle 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Im having a problem with dependancies. After an update of my tree to the current CVS, I got tons of errors linked to the file reactos/include/mmsystem.h, removed due to Wine-20041201 winmm sync. (see http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-cvs/2004-December/006233.html) For example compiling lib/aclui: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../../include/mmsystem.h', needed by `.aclui.d'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hdb5/reactos/reactos/lib/aclui' ===== Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle_at_users_dot_sourceforge_dot_net) humans are like computers, yesterday the BIOS was all - today its just a word

ReactOS language support
by Klemens Friedl 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hi! ReactOS and some applications are translated in many different languages but a ReactOS language support is missing. The regitry keys (see hivesys.inf) are there but ROS ingore the keys. Is there a chance that ROS get language support until version 0.3? Is it a big step to add it? Which file is need an update? Maybe I can help adding this feature. Why are there some languages hard coded? reactos\lib\msvcrt\locale\locale.c - Code: const struct map_lcid2str { short langid; const char *langname; const char *country; } languages[]={ {0x0409,"English", "United States"}, {0x0809,"English", "United Kingdom"}, {0x0000,"Unknown", "Unknown"} }; const struct map_cntr { const char *abrev; const char *country; } abrev[] = { {"britain", "united kingdom"}, {"england", "united kingdom"}, {"gbr", "united kingdom"}, {"great britain", "united kingdom"}, {"uk", "united kingdom"}, {"united kingdom", "united kingdom"}, {"united-kingdom", "united kingdom"}, {"america", "united states" }, {"united states", "united states"}, {"united-states", "united states"}, {"us", "united states"}, {"usa" "united states"} }; Klemens Friedl <frik85> -- GMX ProMail mit bestem Virenschutz http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail +++ Empfehlung der Redaktion +++ Internet Professionell 10/04 +++

cards.dll ???
by Klemens Friedl 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Why does ReactOS need(?) the cards.dll (reactos\lib\cards)? -> "Cardplaying Helper DLL" Is there a card game included? Maybe someone know the answers ... Thanks!

STDCALL.._FUNC
by Alex Ionescu 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hi, Why is everyone adding _FUNC to the definitions? I was removing them in my new headers because they seem totally useless, plus some people told me that they had no point. But I just see GvG adding more of them. I don't understand what their point is? Best regards, Alex Ionescu

csrss.exe and VDM ?
by Klemens Friedl 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

I read on the ms homepage that the crss.exe contains: + creating and deleting processes and threads + console (text) windows + 16-bit virtual DOS machine (VDM) Is in the csrss.exe (from ReactOS) the VDM process inluded? I read in the old forum that someone spoke about an DOS/win16 subsystem. Should the DOS (virtual maschine) be a part of the csrss.exe? And, does the Ros graphic run in kernel mode (like as in Win 2000 - GDI)?

RosFS
by Rick Langschultz 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

For those of you who have heard nothing of my plans to write a RosFS service for ReactOS, here are some details about my plan. RosFS RosFS is a small service running on system initialization by default that indexes files, folders, users, devices, and network resources can hold metadata via MySQL, sleepycat DB, TCL, Apache, and Perl; which will all be embedded within the service itself. RosFS will hold encrypted resources based off of a key that is created with the first startup of ReactOS, it changes every 30 days to ensure security. The RosFS can be accessed online via the built in web server with can be an encrypted connection - SSL, or TLS. User ACLs can be set on a machine level or a domain level. RosFS will support a SQL-like querying language that can be written easily - it will have triggers, procedures, functions, and saved queries - which are all logged. Triggers will be supplied by a TCL-like language with features of Perl. An service will provide users with current system updates, patches, etc stored on a domain server - this option will only be installed on a powerful server with pretty good hardware - ie: not for home use!!! A few problems I know that will arise in developing such a project are: 1) Size 2) Security 3) Where to keep the files on the system 4) The RosFS query language will be trouble to write and maintain depending on if a user uses such Databases like ORACLE, MySQL, MSSQL, etc. 5) Explorer Integration - Will Explorer.exe need to be rewritten to allow the addition of Metadata structures, etc. 6) Web integration - Perl, PHP, TCL, CGI, ISAPI??? Please send me comments and concerns about the RosFS project.

I think the code to query for "PaintDesktopVersion" should be moved back to its old location and get called from NtUserUpdatePerUserSystemParameters becaus this function needs to do a lot more initialization work on behalf of the user. For example, updating system colors, system metrics and setting the background pattern or wallpaper. Regatds, Eric

Tribes1 Loads!!!!!
by Steven Edwards 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi All and GreatLord, I just tested Starseige Tribes under ReactOS and it does load. You need dsound.dll and dinput.dll from Wine. GreatLord is working on fixing these to work under Windows and ReactOS now. If you want to test it tribes is a free download you just may need to do a google search. Make sure you set the graphics to GDI under Windows and then copy your config over. Of course the mouse wont work under ReactOS until GreatLord is done with his dinput changes. I have not tested with ReactOS new direct input as I am short on time tonight. I will try that tommrow. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
