Re: [ros-svn] [hyperion] 16198: fixes for Visual C++:

If not, what has a large risk of happening is that: 1) Too many changes happen in your branch which are purely related to MSVC compilation and not to UMODE, bugs happen and we don't know why anymore 2) If you take large breaks from the branch, changes rot away and eventually never get included. So please, I urge you to commit most of these fixes into trunk and check that they remain GCC compatible... for your own good too. These kinds of branches can be a pain. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

Hey all I was wondering what the networking status was. I am planning on writing a small tcp/ip service for reactos to use personally. Thanks for the update.

memory load is wrong
by Hartmut Birr 20 Jun '05

Hi, with the current svn, I get memory loads from kernel32, which are greater than 100: (KERNEL32:lib\kernel32\mem\global.c:412) Memory Load: 659 - Hartmut

In case anyone gets a chance to test before I do, I think this fix will allow Office97 applications to get a little further along.

Creation of freeldr diskette with the new building system
by Gge 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

I don't know how to create a freeldr diskette with the new building system . freeldr.sys is created in output-i386/boot/ftreeldr but the boot sector needs to be created . The previous method "install a: fat" from boot/freeldr/install directory does not work anymore ) Any idea ? regards Gge

Ntdll.h defines the TRACE_LDR macro. NDEBUG _must_ be defined before including a header file with the TRACE_LDR macro (ntdll.h). - Hartmut

what's the ReactOS USB status?
by Damjan Jovanovic 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Hi I recently got the chance to try out ReactOS for my first time. It seems to me just about nothing works, it takes an expert to compile it (I had to download 2 different mingw-linux versions, fix an assembly language syntax error and comment out broken netkittcp code), but it's a very cute operating systems that boots faster than any other I've ever seen. Anyway, I recently started looking at how to make Windows device drivers (it's interesting...), and I thought I'd make a couple for ReactOS. I had several in mind: -A USB mass storage device driver (when I plugged my USB flash disk in, it didn't flash and no new disk showed up, so I assume they currently aren't supported) I believe that the driver is called USBSTOR.SYS on Win2k? -A USBSCAN.SYS for USB scanners [I am already working on an STI (Still Image service) implementation, and seeing as the Wine folks aren't thrilled at having me add device drivers into Wine, which is necessary for many scanners, I think I'll make STI for ReactOS instead :-) ]. -A driver for the XFS filesystem. I've already got a hacked-up collection of XFS code from GRUB to compile. Now just to turn it into a proper driver... But before I even get started, how well is USB supported under ReactOS? Why is there no USBLIB.H in the DDK headers? Does anyone know good resources for USB programming under Windows? And any advice for filesystem drivers?
