Hello there!
by Jonathon Keogh 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

Hello! My name is Jonathon, and I would like to offer some help to ReactOS Development. I can program in C/C++, [little] ASM, PHP, [little] PERL, etc. I can grasp programming languages quite quickly, as I'm 15 and program quite a bit. I'm British too. I've been watching SVN updates quite a lot recently, and I find it quite interesting how the OS is coded. I'm very interested in OSDev, too. What can I do to help? Jonny

Role of UI coordinator and committing graphical improvements
by Murphy, Ged (Bolton) 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

How does this work? I can't find anything in the wiki about this and it seems a bit of a grey area. There has been quite a bit of discussion about the UI recently, and I've had a few people asking me how they can get involved, as they are finding it difficult to get their ideas accepted. Two good designs that spring to mind are that of crappish and Dominic. Due to the recent interest in the GUI, I would be relatively interested in getting some of their ideas into ReactOS. I know Alex has some thoughts on improvements for 0.3 also For instance, I think the button icon and menu graphic Dominic did are much fresher and easier on the eye (see attached ... the graphic text needs tweaking). However I don't know whether I can just commit, whether there is a vote, whether MindFlyer can overrule us, etc. <<start.jpg>> Can we set some rules down so no toes are stepped on.

merging code to 0.2.8
by Ged 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

I've just realised the work on populating the start menu with eye candy isn't in the 0.2.8 branch. This involved links to games and core apps and was done specifically for this release to give the users something new to play with. Should we wait for the next release for this, or merge it in now?

0.2.8 Release
by Brandon Turner 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hi, I have just finished building all the packages for 0.2.8 and they are ready for release. Please don't commit anything furthur to this branch. I would like to release it to sf right now. However we lack a changelog. I guess I dont know how important this really is, if it isnt important then we can just release? I think it is important and would like to see it filled out. Shall i wait till tomorrow or maybe sunday before I release it? all commits to between 027 and 028 can be found at www.msu.edu/~turnerb7/028.full.txt Brandon

mingw32-make erros in rbuild
by tobitosso 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

I want to build. revision 18766 of ReactOS I typed in mingw32-make bootcd in my MSYS window but GCC (both, 3.4.2 and 3.4.4) return these errors in mingw.cpp: [CC] toolsrbuildbackendmingwmingw.cpp tools\rbuild\backend\mingw\mingw.cpp:18:23: ../../pch.h: No such file or directory . . . When I replace "#include "../../pch.h" with "#include "pch.h", the erros does not occur any more. This error occurs also in other files and its just the same so I only write what I replaced with what in which file(the base dir I am using for this is tools\rbuild: backend/mingw/mingw.h: #include "../backend.h" -> #include "backend/backend.h" backend\mingw/modulehandler.h #include "../backend.h" -> #include "backend/backend.h" backend/mingw/mingwmodulehandler.cpp: #include "../../pch.h" -> #include "pch.h" #include "../../rbuild.h" -> #include "rbuild.h" backend/mingw/proxymakefile.cpp: #include "../../pch.h" -> #include "pch.h" backend\devcpp/devcpp.h: #include "../backend.h" -> #include "backend/backend.h" backend\msvc/genguid.cpp: #include "../../pch.h" -> #include "../../../pch.h" backend\msvc/msvc.h: #include "../backend.h" -> #include "../../backend.h" backend\msvc/msvc.cpp: #include "../mingw/mingw.h" -> #include "../../mingw/mingw.h" backend\backend.cpp: #include "../pch.h" -> #include "pch.h" #include "../rbuild.h" -> #include "rbuild.h" backend\backend.h: #include "../rbuild.h" -> #ifndef __MSVC_H__ #include "rbuild.h" #else #include "../rbuild.h" #endif Now building rbuild works. ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

RE: [ros-dev] Re: [ros-svn] [gedmurphy] 18814: - start of a rewri te for ipconfig

Adding a full suite of network apps is one of the areas I'm interested in (along with the network model in general right down to NDIS) and my aim was to have all the network apps pretty much complete for the 0.3 release. Due to missing functionality in our iphlpapi it's not going to be possible, but most the general functionality of arp, tracert, netstat, ipconfig and route is now in place and their output simulates that of the MS tool suite. I really need to start working on iphlpapi soon, but services and the GUI have recently caught my attention ... heh. > No need to add it back. When I looked at it last night I glanced at your > _tmain function, containing the command line is parsing, I noticed it looked > almost identical to my main. So I questioned if it really was a rewrite. > Having read through the rest of the file, I see that most of it is new. Glad your not offended. As a learning process for me, I've been rewriting much of the existing code. This has also had the added benefit of being able to simulate the MS tools easier, as I had a general framework in my head to code to instead of trying to decipher and modify existing code. I didn't realise you still read the mailing lists. Does this mean you might return at some point? It would be nice to have another developer from the UK back on board, as at the moment, I'm the only one fighting our cause .... lol :) Ged ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

I just diffed against the previous revision and noted Rob Dickinson and your name. Pretty much all of the code from that revision has been replaced, with the acception of the manner in which the command line is parsed. http://svn.reactos.com/viewcvs/trunk/reactos/apps/utils/net/ipconfig/ipconfi g.c?rev=18814&r1=18297&r2=18814 I would assume this is classed as a rewrite and previous revision details aren't therefore noted in the source, but are accessible via the SVN logs. If this is incorrect, or you feel offended, I will put the revision history back in the file.
