reactos: uncompilable
by Damjan Jovanovic 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

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 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

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

install problem
by Hartmut Birr 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hi, since some time, I'm not able to install ReactOS on real hardware. Freeldr fails at the first boot after the second stage setup. The error message is 'Couldn't open CodePage registry key'. I've add some debug messages to freeldr. Freeldr isn't able to open the key '\Registry\Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet'. If I rename umpnpmgr.exe between usetup and the second stage setup, ReactOS boots without any problems. If I rename umpnpmgr.exe back, ReactOS fails on the second boot with umpnpmgr.exe. - Hartmut

I have interesting in working on the following programs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\tree.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\gettype.exe(win2k3) C:\WINDOWS\system32\findstr.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\w32tm.exe and if I'm feeling extra fiesty maybe C:\WINDOWS\system32\osk.exe Now my question is where i should put these, rospapps or maybe reactos\subsys\system\ ?

Not sure if you realized it, but this helps Firefox a lot. Screenshot with these changes applied: http://www.reactos.nl/pics/ff2.png (the "before" screenshot is at http://www.reactos.nl/pics/ff1.png see the difference in the toolbars) Thanks again, Gé.

NPFS problems
by Ge van Geldorp 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

After changes r18883/r18912 umpnpmgr.exe (and eventlog.exe) don't start anymore. The problem is that they try to connect to the service control manager using a named pipe (advapi32/service/sctrl.c function ScConnectControlPipe). Before opening the pipe, a call is made to WaitNamedPipe() to see if the pipe exists. This call currently fails, resulting in failure of ScConnectControlPipe(), resulting in failure of umpnpmgr.exe, resulting in network drivers not being installed, resulting in no network connectivity. WaitNamedPipe() NtOpenFile()s the pipe and then issues a FSCTL_PIPE_WAIT ioctl. The problem is that this end of the pipe is now connected to the server end (which is already listening) during the call to NtOpenFile() (in function NpfsCreate(), setting the PipeStatus to FILE_PIPE_CONNECTED_STATE. NpfsWaitPipe first checks the PipeStatus and bails out if it's not 0 (passive waiting state). So, in our case NpfsWaitPipe fails, 'cause the pipe is already connected. The patch below just makes NpfsWaitPipe return success in case it's already connected, which solves the umpnpmgr problem. However, I don't think it's the correct solution, after the FSCTL_PIPE_WAIT ioctl returns WaitNamedPipe() will close its end, so the server end sees an unexpected close. I have no clue how to proceed, and to be honest I'm not interested in solving it myself. I'd rather see the author of the original patch take his responsibility and fix the regression he introduced.

Re: [ros-svn] [blight] 18984: Import Mesa-6.2 sources.
by Jirka Doubek 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hi! Blight: I have a little question: why are you importing Mesa3d 6.2 sources, when there is a new stable version 6.4 out there? Maybe I something misunderstood (I know almost nothing about OpenGL sources and implementation in ReactOS), so there is a reason - in that case can you explain it, please? Thank you very much. Best regards, Jirka

patch for test/review
by Hartmut Birr 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, I've changed rbuild a little bit, that it can run on msys (on windows). The major changes are: - The separator (slash or back slash), exepostfix and exeprefix are initialized from environment variables. - The separators in the path for the system command are always converted for the host system. - Our own build utilities must convert paths itself (bin2res). It exist some problems with absolute paths on msys, because msys uses '/c/foo/bar' and windows 'c:\foo\bar' or 'c:/foo/bar'. I've tested the patch on msys and on windows. I cannot test the patch on linux. Currently, msys is the only way to use all cpus or cores for the build process on windows. - Hartmut
