I've noticed that in the ReactOS source code, there are many places where a parameter or structure is ULONG when it should really be SIZE_T. Using ULONG instead of SIZE_T is not portable. It will be difficult to port ReactOS to x64 and Itanium in the future because of this. I think the project should stop the bleeding by requiring all new code to make proper use of ULONG versus SIZE_T. This does mean going against the documentation of native syscalls on the Internet, but it must be done sometime. Of course, I'm not really part of the project... Melissa

X-Chat 2

by James Tabor

Hi all Could be all based on wine patches, I can no longer get xchat 2 and the new one to run. I noticed it can not find the lib directory in the launch directory. Wine has this problem too. Also when installing the new X-Chat 2 from http://www.silverex.org/download/xchat-2.6.2-1.exe, It installs the Font to C:\ReactOS\Fonts not C:\ReactOS\media\fonts. I had to create C:\ReactOS\Fonts so I can have a clean install. I tested my GGO patch and the SVN and the result are the same. Okay, wine does this too, I tested it. (dll/ntdll/ldr/utils.c:2019) Failed to create or open dll section of 'libgtk-win 32-2.0-0.dll' (Status c0000135) (dll/ntdll/ldr/utils.c:1347) failed to load libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll (dll/ntdll/ldr/utils.c:1812) failed to load libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll (dll/ntdll/ldr/utils.c:1934) LdrFixupImports() failed for xchat.EXE (dll/ntdll/ldr/startup.c:485) Failed to initialize image Then do it from lib, "..\xchat" (dll/ntdll/ldr/utils.c:2019) Failed to create or open dll section of 'pango-1.8.2/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-win32.dll"' (Status c0000135) You will get a popup. This has been a problem for years! Thanks, James

0.3.0 RC1

by WaxDragon

0.3.0 is now RC1. Hopefully Brandon will have time to put up RC1 on SF soon, but those inclined can check out a copy now. While I will allow a wallpaper to be added before release, anything else needs to be a bugfix against a bug in Bugzilla. WD -- ReactOS is a hub, follow the spokes and you'll immediately find absolutely everything you need to know about Windows. ReactOS is not just software, it's people. kjk_hyperion
