TC function description: opening discussion prior to vote

by Ge van Geldorp

There was some confusion and disagreement about the Testing Coordinator function description recently. The best way to solve it seems to be a vote. With the new voting procedure established and 0.2.8 (almost) out the door, this seems a good time to start the voting process. Our (draft) constitution calls for a 5 day discussion period, followed by a 5 day voting period. This email starts the 5 day discussion period. Preferred location for the discussion is the ros-dev mailing list, since all developers have easy access to that. At the end of the discussion, I'll post a call for votes to the mailing list and create the vote on the forum. We have two proposals for the TC function description, A and B. A is the original function description. Proposal B is almost the same, the only difference is that the TC does not have the authority to block a release. This is the motion I would like to vote on: "Do you want to: A) set the function description for the TC role as described in http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/ReactOS_Testing_Coordinator or B) set the function description for the TC role as described in http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/ReactOS_Testing_Coordinator_Alternate" Gé van Geldorp.

You can work on whatever takes your interest.

Can I use 'distcc' to compile ReactOS?

by Andrew "Silver Blade" Greenwood

I just discovered distcc. For those who don't know, distcc is a distributed compiler utility that interfaces with gcc on Linux (and compatible platforms.) It comes as a daemon and a client - the daemon is run on each machine you wish to include in the "compiler farm" (so to speak), and the client is told which servers to use (via an environment variable.) When you run distcc it just acts like gcc/g++, and distributes the file to be compiled to each of the hosts. It doesn't need the headers or libraries on the hosts - the output of the preprocessor is passed to each host. Anyway... As I have a second machine which usually runs Windows solely for when I wish to make music, it's ideal for running a small Linux installation, aimed at running distcc/gcc etc. and not much else. All is well, except I cannot configure ReactOS to make use of distcc :( The standard usage for distcc (according to the authors site) is: make -j8 distcc The only way I even got close to compiling ReactOS using distcc was to hack the main Makefile and replace "gcc" with "distcc", and "g++" with "distcc g++" (to specify the compiler to use on each host.) This works perfectly... for the initial make tasks (building the build system?) but after this distcc is completely ignored. Is there a way to allow distcc to work? Ideally the Makefile should take note of the CC variable, I guess? As I have a laptop and 2 desktop machines at my disposal (plus - as I'm staying at a friends house at present - his experimental 3 GHz server box), I'd like to make use of distcc so I don't have to make so much coffee ;) Any ideas?

reactos: uncompilable

by Damjan Jovanovic

I don't know how you guys develop or release ReactOS, but I have never gotten a single release to compile cleanly. First I tried 0.2.6, and I had to edit GCC inline assembly to get it to compile, and use various hacks to get it to work. Last night I tried 0.2.7, which I had to force to compile with multiple declarations (by editing C++ files in tools/rbuild to disable the -Werror flag), force to link by 'make VERBOSE=full' and then manually copying the command line and adding 'obj-i386/hal/hal/libhal.a', and then after a few more hours, ntoskrnl.exe would not link (several thousand missing symbols). I'm gonna get 0.2.8 now and try again, with the Windows version of mingw (been using Linux so far). Just in case, would someone explain to me how you guys get it to compile? And how do you expect anyone to develop an OS that is practically uncompilable? Damjan __________________________________ Yahoo!

Piles upon piles of regressions

by Alex Ionescu

Hi, I realize maybe some of you are aware of these, but it seems that we just keep adding more and more regressions and there hasn't really been an effort to fix them... We don't have a TC anymore and now the tree is becoming as bad as before, which just proves the point of how badly this project needed a TC. I've just booted ROS for the first time in a month and I'm surprised at the number of new things that have cropped up. The start menu became huge, the registry is not cleanly dereferenced at shutdown (causing it to get damaged and that makes freeldr display the "Codepage error"), dhcp still crashes on first-boot since networking isn't installed, the 16x16 icons look like crap since alphablending was implemented, all sorts of drivers "fail to load' on startup, RPC displays messages about "Buffer overflows", umpnpmgr tries to copy invalid drivers, shutdown still doesn't work on my QEMU,... and this is only what I've noticed after 2 minutes. Anyways, I don't want to nitpick, just to bring these issues up to attention in case noobdy is aware of them. Best regards, Alex Ionescu
