subversion problem
by Hartmut Birr 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Hi, I would update the cache_manager_rewrite branch with all changes from the main tree. I'm using the merge command to add the changes to my local tree. It fails allways with revision 13667. I can merge all changes up to revision 13666. But I get an error with revision 13667: E:\Sandbox\ros_cache\reactos\tools>d:\programme\subversion\bin\svn.exe merge -r13566:13667 svn://svn.reactos.com/trunk/reactos/tools D winebuild\res32.c D winebuild\spec32.c D winebuild\res16.c D winebuild\utils.c D winebuild\Makefile.in D winebuild\spec16.c D winebuild\mkstemps.c D winebuild\build.h D winebuild\import.c D winebuild\relay.c D winebuild\winehq2ros.patch D winebuild\winglue.h D winebuild\winebuild.man.in D winebuild\main.c D winebuild\parser.c D winebuild\Makefile D winebuild svn: Revision 13667 doesn't match existing revision 13567 in 'winebuild' What can I do to solve this problem? - Hartmut

ntoskrnl issue on my Dell Latitude C610
by Steven Edwards 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Hi, A little background info. I have a dell Latitude c610 with a P3m 1ghz CPU, 256Megs of Ram and a 20 Gig hard disk. ATI Mobile Radeon Graphics chip with 16megs of Vram. When I try to boot ReactOS the screen always go black after freeldr loads the drivers and everything even if /NOGUIBOOT is selected and bootvid.sys is removed from the system. The screen never goes blue and the kernel never gets a point where HalDisplayString or the kernel debugger will work. I have added a function to my ke\main.c to manually write to the screen in text mode and have been using that to try to debug the boot process. The problem is that it never consistantly crashes at one line of code. It always seems to be around a call to KeLowerIrql but depending on where I stick my debug statements it will change. Whats odd is that it will fail 100% of the time in the same place depending on where I move my debug statements. The only thing I can figure is that but writting to the display its interupting which is changing the failure location. The farthest in the boot process I can get is the call to KeLowerIrql that happens around the calls to SeInit1 and SeInit2. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That would be nice, but it's not practical since nobody has volunteered to work on it and thus it will not get implemented any time soon. If you will work on it or can find someone who will and can give a rough timeframe for its completion (say 5-6 months), I might vote for a delay of a 0.3 release. Casper

Rolf Kalbermatter wrote: >This is rubish. > Yes ^ 3 ( that is Yes cubed) Let us all get back on track of this discussion. Must ReactOS and MinGW use the Wine set of headers. 1. ReactOS & MinGW are by themselves GPL, So they are more strict than Wine's header set 2. Headers are out of the scope for License as Rolf explained. Or to be more precise they are the boundary put by the License. "From this API down you are in Library territory". The header is the Line drawn by the Library writer, as what is public API. A GPL program is an LGPL library with the trivial public header of: <c> int main(int argc ,char* argc[]) ; // use only </c> 3. Wine Headers are description of the Win32 API by Microsoft, so what the hell are you talking about. And back to the subject. I have proved that Wine-headers are not only, nice-to-have, but a must in a gcc compilation environment on Windows, like MinGW or Cygwin. Could/did any one see if ReactOS has every thing they need in wine-headers and if not patch in the diff. So is it accepted than! Free Life Boaz

Hello everybody! I've been a long time lurker and have decided to finaly contribute something to this wonderful project. quick introduction: 29, male, research assistent at the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland), some C/C++ knowledge (but not enough for serious contributions to an OS) I'm in the process of creating a keyboard layout (it's nearly finished) and have run into a problem which I posted in bugzilla. I was told on #reactos that this is the way to do it. http://reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=509 would be cool if someone with experience with keyboard layouts could give me a tip. thanks!

State of the WIDL
by Eric Kohl 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi all, there is some good news to tell about WIDL. It is able to build the header file, client stub file and server stub file for _very_ simple rpc applications. I got a slightly modified version of the hello example from MSDN working. There are still a lot of features missing from WIDL but it is able to create stubs for simple functions that don't take any arguments and return no or basic type values. Returning pointers is not supported yet. So, supported functions look like that: void My1stRpcFunc(void); int My2ndRpcFunc(void); unsingned long My3rdRpcFunc(void); Another restriction is the handling of implicit binding handles. These binding handles are usually declared in an ACF file. But since ACF files are not supported yet the declaration must take place in the IDL file. MIDL supports this as well if you use the '/app_config' option. Explicit binding handles are not supported yet. Finally, WIDL does not support MIDLs '/oldnames' option. This option is used to enable the old naming conventions for interface handles. This is a minor issue because the MSDN examples use the old naming conventions. Next, I want to implement support for basic type function arguments. The whole source code to WIDL is published under the LGPL so feel free to contribute it to WINE. Regards, Eric

First: it was not me who added those forwards to ntdll. But it can't see anything wrong with it either. Sure they are all right. In fact I proposed something similar a long time ago. Ask Hyperion :) However the final solution was better. It seems none of the forwarded functions are implemented/duplicated in crt and they are not called from within crt either thus none of the forwarded routines are imported from ntdll by msvcrt/crtdll. Gunnar Maybe I'm out of sync by far or maybe I'm wrong. Snapshots do no work anymore since the move to subversion I guess. I will check again using the old sources and will tell in such case so if you have a chance check it on the most recent ones. In the last snapshot I was able to download there was a libary strings.a statically linked with several components of ReactOS such as ntoskrnl, ntdll, crtdll.dll and msvcrt.dll that means that there are/were at least 4 copies in RAM of the same set of routines. This can be easily ckecked if for example you pick one of the functions and do a binary search on the ROS tree. I think that there could be only one If both crtdll and msvcrt forward them to ntdll and ntdll import them from ntoskrnl and they are set as executable ring0 <-> ring3. But maybe that's to ask a lot for now. I beleive that just taking away the duplicated code crtdll/msvcrt and in case that I'm right import those from ntdll will help more and will be alot easier than the last one. Regards Waldo

Implementing a help system
by Karim Liman-Tinguiri 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hello, I've recently joined the ReactOS project (1) where I intend to work as a coder primarily. After downloading the LiveCD and trying it out, I found out it lacks (amongst many) a help system. I believe it should be added amongst the urgent TO-DOs checklist now that the OS runs, provides a minimal GUI, and is stable. Built-in user assistance is essential since the React Operating System is intended for the large audience; not only for hackers. Therefore I am wondering if there is a current project started to code one. If not, I plan to code an open-source version of the winhlp32.exe file located in the system folder able to open and show windows .hlp files. The goal is to have a winhlp32.exe that runs and behaves exactly like (or very close to) that of the Microsoft copyrighted winhlp32.exe. It should therefore be able to serve existing windows apps with a help server without any modification to the program. I've verified the dependencies of winhlp32.exe; all of them have already been implemented in ReactOS, so it should not be a big deal to code it from scratch. Despite the fact that the .hlp file format isn't officially documented, it has already been reverse engineered and its documentation can be found on the web (2). However, if there already is a help support project up and running, I intend to join it. Besides, as soon as this is ready (why not before ?), I advise we convert all documentation on the reactos.com's library (and all further documentation) to the DocBook (SGML) format: it has the advantage of being easily converted on-the-fly to pdf, html, post-script and many others. A tool chain to convert it to .hlp will however have to be created (meanwhile we can use the standard tools for compiling .hlp files). (1) I'm referring to the developer mailing list (2) http://www.geocities.com/mwinterhoff/helpfile.htm

W32api IS the MinGW headers. I might vote for using WINE headers in ReactOS if WINE relicensed its headers to a w32api or BSD like license that will allow use in a non-free application. What I would like to see most though, is for all three projects to share w32api. Casper

Collection of wine tools on windows
by Boaz Harrosh 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

There is a question at the end. Background: I'm putting up a Web-corner with ATL & MFC for other (gcc for now) Compilers. It will include tools, links, documentation, example makefiles, and so on to let people take an MSVC project and compile it under GCC. (+Winelib on other than windows platforms) My first release target is Windows/ReactOS MinGW-PE. What I did is take the work I've done on Linux and port it back to MinGW. At first, as I expected, it did not work at all. So what I did without hesitation is fetch the Wine headers set, + (yes) wine-msvcrt. Completely removed MinGW originally supplied headers put Wine on the Include path, and voila It was compiling Just like on Linux. (Well it didn't link, than it didn't run, because of the weak symbols thing but I fixed all that). I find 3 things bad about MinGW headers. (Please don't take this as flame. I have all the admiration for all involved and no offense is intended) 1) MinGW header-set are Evil - Because they are ugly, with this, no variables names, and all this style for machines guide. This I already carry for 10 years so here it is off my chest. 2) Win32 is not complete - I would say that MFC and ATL/WTL are a very good exercise for the completeness of the Win32 API. Well the wine stuff have every thing we need, MinGW does not 3) msvcrt - msvcrt compatibility is far from satisfactory on MinGW. Wine, since they had to re-implement msvcrt.dll had to have all these funny MS permutations of the c run time. Compiling on MinGW is almost like using wine without MBCS defined. MinGW headers are mainly derived from GCC c-runtime, with a few adjustments for the -mno-cygwin mode. But they are greatly missing all the esoteric stuff that is needed by MFC and ATL. Wine is perfect, thanks to CodeWeavers, need to run all these MFC apps out there. 4) (I know I said 3) It is time, that all projects collaborate on ONE set of headers and ReactOS is the bridge to that - It is a long time do, that Wine's Set of headers are adopted by all projects. MinGW concentrates on PE gcc compilers, and pass the Win32 project to wine. Wine will release a headers only package for every body to use. (This is what I'll do on first release of my project) [Question to the ReactOS team] The windres utility is insufficient for Most of the projects out there. For example one reason my project is not already on the air. (And hence my post) is that it refuses to compile my Toolbar resource tag. (And what is an MFC app with out a toolbar). I have seen some work done on porting wrc to PE is that work done and will you have a pre-compiled binary package for use to use on windows/ReactOS. Same applies to widl. ReactOS should adopt all these Wine tools as part of their regular tools portfolio. MinGW should adopt Wine's / ReactOS's leadership on all these technologies and supply-link to them by default. Go duplicate all these goodies the wine guys are preparing for us with widl. Again guys please let the passed be gone. And put our differences behind us. There are grate things happening, clearly Wine is the Leader here, lets do this sooner than later. Dimi I need your help here Free Life Boaz

Hi all! I post this message, because I would like to read you comments and opinions about the way to take to implement multiuser support in the Win32 subsystem of ReactOS. Multiuser support for Win32 is, in fact, named "terminal services". There are, as you know, two possible ways. Microsoft was at the same crossroad, when they had to make Win32 in NT 4.0 multiuser. a) make multiuser compliant csrss.exe+win32k.sys b) load separate instances of csrss.exe+win32k.sys B is obviously less expensive, because you do not touch the code in csrss.exe and in win32k.sys and therefore you need no more debugging than regular single user Win32. It is a hack, but it sells very well. But Microsoft is committed to market. ReactOS isn't. Obviously, as I like challenges (otherwise why would you devote your time to a project like ReactOS?), and clean design in software, I vote for implementing (a). Please comment about: - easy/hard; - compatible/incompatible; - impact on current design; - huh? ____________________________________________________________ Navighi a 2 MEGA e i primi 3 mesi sono GRATIS.

RE: [weiden] 13639: 2. fixed GetVersionEx()

> From: weiden(a)svn.reactos.com > > 2. fixed GetVersionEx() > > Updated files: > trunk/reactos/lib/kernel32/misc/env.c The part starting :/* append a reactos specific string to the szCSDVersion string */" is wrong. You've just appended the ReactOS version string to the existing szCSDVersion, but it should be added after the terminating null of the existing szCSDVersion, i.e. "Service Pack 6\0ReactOS 0.3-SVN (Build 20050219-r13360)\0". This way, ReactOS unaware apps will just get the standard CSDVersion (Service Pack 6), while ReactOS aware apps can get the ReactOS version. Discussed on the mailing list http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-dev/2004-December/001117.html and followups. Gé van Geldorp.

Hi All, I have a 100% reproducable crash in Win32k due to a bad value being passed to PeakMessage. Run taskmgr and attempt to double click on the top left corner to close the application.
