Does anyone know where i can find more information on microsoft's make
files as well as compiler flags for Microsoft's compiler? Some working
examples would be helpful.
Thanks,
Richard
I am runing vmware-4.5 workstation in Windoz-XP host.
I installed reactos-0.2.2.iso in vmware on a 500Mb primary
partition. The install completed fine. I removed the some of the
components from reactos vm-machine (usb, sound, floppy and cdrom)
and booted it:
- it presented the Freeloader V1.8.19 screen
- on selecting either of the options, the messgae box displays..
The cpu has been disbled by guest OS..
Is there a way to boot it in vmware??

Have you ever planed to have a "POSIX" root folder? i.e. a folder like
c:\POSIX which contains "bin" "usr" "etc" ...
And why don't you ship mingw/msys in that folder with all standard
reactos distributions ?
Because:
1) It is the first step for developing reactos in reactos ...
2) All unix-like applications can be installed there and will not have
to create each time their own POSIX tree.
3) It is to be ready to a massive port of gnu softwares that don't need
a full POSIX compliant OS.
4) It is mandatory for a future POSIX subsystem.
5) It is cool and sexy.

Excuse-me, I don't want to be outrageous and I know reactos is highly
beta but it is your "duty" to give the development tools use to compile
reactos (here mingw) and to program in it with a default release, isn't it?
Which linux or unix distribution come without a c compiler?
Even Apple do it !

Hi
I think its a mistake to tell us what our duty is - are you paying us?
Can you not download the development tools whenever you want? Are they
not linked to on our website?
What would the response be on the Linux kernel mailing list if you told
them to start including GCC together with kernel releases?

Hey guys,
As you know, a while ago Microsoft made it's compiler toolkit freely
available for download. I was thinking earlier today, of improving the
stability of ReactOS, when i happened to remember that microsoft's
compiler supports SEH. My question is, why don't we add support for the
Microsoft compiler? Nothing in the EULA prevents it as far as i can
see, and we could still maintain full support for MingW (minus the SEH
of course).
An interesting thought...

Well having the POSIX namespace is still outsite of the goals of this
project. When I run Windows I use MSYS all the time so of course people
like me will want to run it on ReactOS. I even did some testing a while
back and it works now on ReactOS except with have this nasty forking
bug.....so as long as you only run 1 application that does not fork you
are ok <g>
So yeah we will support it like we will try to support any other
Windows application but it will never be part of the default release.
Thanks
Steven
