Version info
by Ge van Geldorp 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

After reading a question on the forum, I decided to find out exactly what is keeping Visual Basic programs from running and see if it's easy to fix. It turns out that about the first thing that the VB runtime (msvbvm60.dll) does is check the version number of the OS. At the moment we return: dwMajorVersion = 4 dwMinorVersion = 0 dwBuildNumber = 0 dwPlatformId = 2 szCSDVersion = "ReactOS 0.2.5-CVS (Build 20041216)" wServicePackMajor = 6 wServicePackMinor = 0 wSuiteMask = 0 wProductType = 0 The VB runtime wants at least NT4/SP3. The checks that currently fail are dwBuildNumber (needs at least 1381) and the check for the service pack. It expects the szCSDVersion field to be "Service Pack x" and extracts the service pack number from that. (Good thing btw that there are not more than 10 service packs for NT4...). Anyway, dwBuildNumber will have to be increased to 1381, that's no problem. But the szCSDVersion is currently the only way for usermode programs to get the ReactOS version. I know it's used by e.g. cmd.exe to display the version number. So, I don't think we have much choice, szCSDVersion will have to be set to "Service Pack 6". Question is how to make the ReactOS version string available. I've been thinking about adding it after the "Service Pack 6" string (so the sp6 string is terminated with a nul byte, following the nul byte is the ReactOS version string). Another option would be to store it in the registry, but that would mean that it could get out of sync with the version info in the kernel. So, I'd like to store it as second string in szCSDVersion. Any objections to that? Gé van Geldorp.

RE: [ros-cvs] CVS Update: reactos

Could you make everything "dxdiagn" please? Gé van Geldorp.

[Patch] rcopy.c, utime/stat + Linux
by Quandary 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Attached is a patch that lets rcopy.c compile for me under Linux. This seems like a bit of a hack (#define-ing away the Windows "_" before _utime,_stat and _utimbuf), but it works for me. Are the non-_ versions of these functions and the struct available under Windows? - Travis __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Dress up your holiday email, Hollywood style.

Patch to get ROS Building under Linux
by Quandary 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

I kept getting build errors related to wcsdup being multiply defined, so I went in and removed what appeared to be the offending code. A make clean + make resulted in a complete build for me; I run Linux, so if a Windows user could run a build to verify that this didn't break anything on -that- platform, that would be great. (my build errors can be found at http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=27171 ) Thanks, -- Travis Index: include/msvcrt/string.h =================================================================== RCS file: /CVS/ReactOS/reactos/include/msvcrt/string.h,v retrieving revision 1.6 diff -u -r1.6 string.h --- include/msvcrt/string.h 25 Aug 2003 01:37:47 -0000 1.6 +++ include/msvcrt/string.h 19 Dec 2004 15:56:57 -0000 @@ -166,7 +166,6 @@ /* NOTE: There is no _wcscmpi, but this is for compatibility. */ int wcscmpi(const wchar_t* ws1, const wchar_t* ws2); -wchar_t* wcsdup(const wchar_t* wsToDuplicate); int wcsicmp(const wchar_t* ws1, const wchar_t* ws2); int wcsicoll(const wchar_t* ws1, const wchar_t* ws2); wchar_t* wcslwr(wchar_t* wsToConvert); __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Anouncement of ReactOS v 0.2.5 RC1
by Robert Köpferl 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

Hi developers, as you know we have feature freeze for ROS v0.2.5 RC1, today. Within a few hours, I will make a branch of the source. So please check in your last changes. However be careful of what you check-in and keep the make process working. As the change CVS->SVN is scheduled to start on Dec 30 there's a deadline for the release of Dec 29. If there are nice features, but not yet good enough to go into this release, dont worry: 0.3 wil be relatively fast after 0.2.5.

Tree Changes

Hi, Eric and Hartmut's suggestions to have static in lib and dlls in dll have been widely accepted, and a new idea to have 3rdparty lib/dll folder was also accepted. So here's the new version : http://mok.lvcm.com/cgi-bin/reactos/roswiki?New_Tree_Structure. Best regards, Alex Ionescu
