Have you checked to see if the mentioned file is actually in your tree ? Also are you building on c: along with running an operating system on there?

Nobody implied that he did. If you re-read the original message, you'll find he said he had 1.25Gb hard drive. With ROS and build tools taking up over 500Mb, I was just pointing out a potential disk space problem. When you run out of disk space, the build can end in odd ways.

Hi! Sad to hear that you feel excluded... Have you tried the binaries on Casper Hornstroup's site (see the links at www.reactos.com)?

excluded
by jh 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Hi, I have tested two programmes with ros on my laptop, in real hardware. The first nPOP Ver 1.0.2 http://www.nakka.com/ ( freeware ) works as far as I can test it, the other one i-Safer Winsock Firewall http://winsockfirewall.sourceforge.net/ (oss) puts itself on the task bar as a minimised window, but does not display the programme on the desktop. They have been test with a binary snapshot from December, which has no networking in it. Now that there are no longer any binaries releases available, I feel excluded and I am no longer able to do any meaningful testing. Will there ever be any more binary releases? I have no cd burner, so I cannot use the iso images. regards, jh

Can MingW compile itself under react OS?
by Kenneth Long 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Hi, I'm a newbie here. This is a really cool project. I was wondering MingW can compile itself under reactOS, then take the new compiled version, and compile it self again and generate a stable MingW tool chain can it then build the ReactOS system? Sort like doing a "emerge -system" in Gentoo's Portage? Thanks, Ken

ROS banner graphics
by Gedi 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

I need to get hold of the ReactOS banner graphics to make some alterations for ibrowsers default webpage. The one on reactos.com has the words 'user site', which needs to be removed and/or replaced. I've tried getting hold of Jason, but I'm not getting a reply. Does anyone else have any ideas where I can get it from, or if someone would be willing to do the mods? Thanks, Ged.

gethostbyaddr() windows behaviour / fixing bad windows behaviour in general
by Jan Tisje 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hi, I just found the answer to a problem I often had with windows: http://windump.polito.it/misc/faq.htm#Q-10 -----8<-----8<-----8<----- Q-10: Why WinDump hangs for some seconds while capturing? How can I avoid it? A: The cause of the slowness is that is that gethostbyaddr(), used by Windump to resolve the host names, on Windows actually uses more than just DNS and hosts files to translate IP addresses to names: it also tries using NetBIOS-over-TCP to do the translation. The translation of an IP address to a NetBIOS name requires to send a NetBIOS Name Service Node Status Request (see section 4.2.17 of RFC 1002) to the IP address, and wait for a reply: the reply will have the machine's NetBIOS name. However, if the machine in question isn't running any NetBIOS name service code (most non-Windows boxes don't), no reply will come back. An ICMP Port Unreachable might get sent out, but that might not cause an error to get delivered to the socket on which the request was sent. Therefore, the machine trying to get the name might have to wait for the request to time out before concluding that it can't get the name for that IP address using NetBIOS. That could take a significant amount of time. -----8<-----8<-----8<----- I still hope Reactos will fix all those annoying bugs of Windows. Please allow me to ask if you really did/will fix this problem. Your answer will significantly increase or decrease my interest in the reactos project. :-) Because it throws a light on your opinion about dealing with problems like this. Currently I hope reactos will be a nice and small replacement for all fat and intransparent MS stuff. (ie remove everything except basic OS) btw, did anybody read the Bill Gates interview in the Spiegel? Every sentence was a lie. He is my most hated person after Bush byebye and continue good work. World is waiting for ya. Jan

ReactOS IP Policy Document
by Jason Filby 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hi all Vizzini has spent a lot of time writing a ReactOS IP Policy Document; he's also had it reviewed by lawyers. I agree what's written here, and would like to get some feedback from the community before we publish it as our official policy. Regards Jason
