Re: Re: [ros-dev] Mac OS X clone???

by rlangschultz＠cox.net

To clarify i mean OS X and perhaps even os 9. I know about darwin but i was wondering if there was an os x clone out there.

State of the WIDL - Part two

by Steven Edwards

Hi Eric, How much more work is going to be needed in WIDL? There are quite a lot of changes and I have fallen behind on merging to Winehq. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

Re: [ros-dev] [VOTE] Miscelanea branches

by Steven Edwards

> > > > [ ] Yes, do allow miscelanea branches > > > > [ ] No, don't allow miscelanea branches > > > > [X] Clearly define feature vs mscelanea branches. I don't mind Alex having a remote branch to be able to maintain a public backup of his work. In fact I think all of the ReactOS developers should have public branches but I think that anytime a feature is implemented in a remote branch and another developer is blocked by said feature then the remote branch has to be merged with the trunk. For people like me that contribute little or no code other than minor bugfixes this may be overkill. This whole problem is that much of the development switched to his branch when it should have been merged to the trunk. Alex has admitted this and I think we have reached a middle ground.

Re: [ros-svn] [navaraf] 13947: Don't use intermediate objects linked with "ld -r". There's a bug in binutils that causes the data section relocations to be stripped.

by Hartmut Birr

It seems there are more bugs in ld or anywhere. Some relocation entries points to an address, which must not relocated. This entries starts always in the upper range of the text section. Ntoskrnl does also contain relocation entries for the bss section. - Hartmut navaraf(a)svn.reactos.com schrieb: >Don't use intermediate objects linked with "ld -r".

Idea to save time in future - Language Support AndUse inReactos [non HTML - sorry for previous post]

by Radovan Skolnik

What you're saying is true however let me bring forth few points: 1. MUI only works one some Windows versions - true. However it runs basically on all Windows versions available today (Windows 98/Me is not your target) and Windows XP Home Edition as we all know is binary compatible with Windows XP so the limitation is only in version check. 2. You cannot get it free - true. But is this important? You cannog get Windows for free as well and still you're trying to clone it (rather succesfully). 3. Are you sure the API is not available? I believe it would be fairly easy to reasearch it even if it wasn't. 4. "So I think reactos must support least 2 langues at fly." Why limit yourself to 2 only? Why not 3 or 4? 5. "But why not deside which langues it will support when it compile." In my opinion this is answered very easily: a. Because you do not want to create ReactOS for power-users who are keen to compile stuff. If you need to compile it you'll scare newbies who just want the simplicity of their old Windows for free. b. Because it contradicts your initial requirement: "If you look at Amiga OS (Workbench 2.0 or higher) you can change the hole os langues when it was running." All in all: I think the M$ approach is really good one: scalable and easy to use. If you don't want to clone the API for whatever reason, clone the principle...

So I think reactos must support least 2 langues at fly. But why not deside which langues it will support when it compile. if you only want example english and french example you got it or you want all langues. you got it instead. when reactos are beign compile ? I have done a copy and paste from ms site http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx#MUIques1 read it about it here. What versions of Windows are supported by MUI? MUI was introduced in the Windows 2000 timeframe and is available for: a.. Windows 2000 Professional b.. Windows 2000 Server Family - often implemented in a Terminal Services environment c.. Windows XP Professional d.. Windows XP for Tablet PC e.. Windows Server 2003 Family f.. Windows XP Embedded MUI is not supported on consumer versions of Windows such as Windows 9x, Windows Me, and Windows XP Home Edition. What are the system requirements of Windows MUI? MUI is an add-on to the English version of Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 family of operating systems, and will not install on localized versions of Windows XP/2000 or on Windows XP Home Edition. Every additional language installed will require approximately 115 MB extra disk space for Windows XP, 45MB for Windows 2000; East Asian language support requires an additional 250 MB. How can I acquire Windows MUI? The Windows XP/2000 MUI is sold only through Volume Licensing programs such as the Microsoft Open License Program (MOLP / Open), Select, and Enterprise agreement (or with a new computer as an OEM version at customer request). It is not available through retail channels. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Radovan Skolnik" <Radovan_Skolnik(a)tempest.sk> To: <ros-dev(a)reactos.com> Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2005 1:40 PM Subject: RE: [ros-dev] Idea to save time in future - Language Support AndUse inReactos > Hello guuys (and girls if any out there)! > > Until now I have been watching the development of ReactOS with great > interest but as a not-so-great C/C++ programmer (especially for kernel > stuff) I felt no urge to add my (for you would be worthless) comments :-) > However the discussion about localizing ReactOS struck me because I think > there's one thing in/for M$ Windows/Office you probably don't know about > that already handles this.

Hello guuys (and girls if any out there)! Until now I have been watching the development of ReactOS with great interest but as a not-so-great C/C++ programmer (especially for kernel stuff) I felt no urge to add my (for you would be worthless) comments :-) However the discussion about localizing ReactOS struck me because I think there's one thing in/for M$ Windows/Office you probably don't know about that already handles this. It is called MUI (Multilingual User Interface Pack) - read about it here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx What it does is that it adds another combo box to Regional Settings in Control Panel and each user can choose language to its liking (from those installed of course). I can have a look at install media for few languages but as far as I remember it is only bunch of .inf & .dll (probably resources) files. So I believe there is indeed an API to achieve this. So if you're aiming for maximum compatibility with original Windows (whatever version) you should probably consider this approach. I'm home and sick now with flu but when I get well I'll research the MUI media in more detailed way and let you know... Best regards Radovan Skolnik ----- Original Message ----- From: Magnus Olsen magnus at itkonsult-olsen.com I want see driffnet langues in the dll and change langues on fly instead compile a dll file for each langues. I am mising that feturtuer in windows. If you look at Amiga OS (Workbench 2.0 or higher) you can change the hole os langues when it was running. in windows you are stuck with one langues. So I think it is good idea to compile all langues into all dll file. then select in the os wich langues you want use.
