I did make ntoskrnl_clean about 3 times, and even a complete "make depends -j2" and it compiled the whole tree fine. Then I started doing other changes, and I started getting build failures.

Do it right first time ??
by Biera Gaino 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

It seems to me that is always best to do it right first time. Then it is easier to get quality, Well anyway it is my opinion. Like the Japanese car manufacturers discovered first, that is always best to track down and solve problems in early stage, than later...... Bierá L. gaino

ALIGN_UP needs a type as second parameter. Now the value of LPCP_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE, LPC_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH and LPC_MAX_DATA_LENGTH are changed. ReactOS won't boot because csrss uses hard coded values in CsrpCreateListenPort. - Hartmut

Debian win32 port, file system, installer, ELF
by Drew Scott Daniels 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Hi, For background in the Debian win32 port see the mailing list archives [1]. Basically, the only reason the port is allowed by Debian is that it could run on ReactOS or wine which are both DFSG [2] compliant. Microsoft Windows, OS/2... aren't DFSG compliant. I've read [3] that the Debian win32 ports "failed because most unix software made unforgivable presumptions about file system semantics; mainly that you could delete files that were in-use, and rename open files on top of other open files, etc." Is this something that could be resolved? I'd imagine the Installable File System (IFS) driver would need to be modified to remember open files, or perhaps something could intercept calls to an IFS driver? I think this is what some virus scanners do, and what clamav is missing. Porting Debian to ReactOS would give ReactOS a huge number of packages. The BSD ports collection method or gentoo's build systems may be useful too. All three would probably mean porting some base software though. Any comments about porting the base of another OS to ros? Packages like perl, bash, gcc, glibc seem to have native MS Windows ports. http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/ lists all the various packages in Debian's base (note some are specific to various ports, and there are some semi-duplicated packages). Another advantage of a Debian win32 port using ReactOS would be a really nice flexible, modular installer (debian-installer or d-i for short). I've had problems with the ros installer in the past, specifically I couldn't install on one system without a mouse. It also asked many questions, couldn't resize partitions... d-i is nice in that it can be used with about three prompts, has partition resizing, can download additional modules... I'd suggest checking it out (I feel like I'm starting to just advertise it). Fwiw, longhorn seems to boot from a CD to do it's graphical install that is supposed to have file system resizing. Can/does ReactOS support ELF? Alex Ionescu said that there's now an ELF loader [4]. If so, would there be anything special that would need to be done to run Linux binaries on ReactOS (beyond syscalls and porting dependencies)? Is there any advantages to the PE format? If ReactOS could support running Linux binaries it would be an easier sell to port Debian to ReactOS as it could reuse things that are already compiled for Debian. I believe the FreeBSD port (kFreeBSD that is) [5] re-uses some packages compiled for Linux. OTOH, PE would be a nicer way to go so that some support for MS Windows could be allowed... Or could MS Windows be made to support ELF? I'm afraid I also don't know much about the coff format.

Registry is messed up
by Brandon Turner 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

I think the registry is messed up. desk.cpl isnt writing the wallpaper style values, SystemParametersInfoW isnt wrtiting the path, and IntSystemParametersInfo isnt able to read the wallpaper settings from it. Also, my livecd wont boot with an error about not finding the codepage. This all leads me to believe that something is up with the registery. The last update i have is w3seek's where he reverted filip's registry changes. I dont know when this started happening, last day or so. It all worked fine when i commited 19476. Royce: The reason you werent getting the bugcheck with my stretch patch was because desk.cpl wasnt writing the wallpaper style values to the registry and tat is why the wallpaper didnt stick. I'm kinda busy right now. But hopfully within an hour I will be free and be able to do some more debuging. Brandon
