ReactOS 0.3 suggestions...
by Richard Campbell 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

I'd like to make some suggestions for ROS 0.3 support (i actually plan to be more active in the coming months for the project, so i intend to help out with these quite a bit) - Working Menus - Remaining painting glitches squashed - Mozilla Firebird/Thunderbird working (tcp support? need a tcp stack) - More stable. - Better driver compatibility. - Bug fixes in the controls, like the edit control, etc. Well, anyways, time to rest, Richard

Status og Winzip Installation
by Gge 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

I tested the installation of Winzip from Reactos command prompt C:\Reactos> but The WINZIP 8.0 installation failed. First a message box is displayed "WINZIP 8.0 Setup" and then I click on SETUP Button Unzipping files messages are displayed inside this message box.. A 2nd message box "Winzip self Extractor" is displayed with the content "Error on running command .\SETUP . Some DebugPort messages are output that I could forwared if needed. I understood that earlier some testing has been done but I don'recall if it was 100 % successful ? Is it supposed to work now ? Thanks and best regards. Gerard

Explorer does NOT compile.
by Colin Burn 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

Hi, I'm having some difficulty compiling ROS. I had to make a small tweak to <wine\config.h> (see my previous email) and everything compiles, except the explorer (which I've removed from my make file). The explorer fails to compile because wstring is not defined. wstring in undefined because I have... #ifdef _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T template<> struct char_traits<wchar_t>; typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring; #endif ...in stringfwd.h (in the MinGW headers). I've tried defining _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T but the MinGW headers seem to be flawed. I'm using MinGW 3.0.0, as linked to from reactos.com, but I notice 3.1.0 is also available (it appears to have the same problem). How do you guys compile the explorer? Cheers Col

React OS in Virtual PC 6
by Ronald Gaudet 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

I tried running the latest ReactOS ISO in Virtual PC 6 and it installs fine but crashes when I boot it up. Also it did the same thing when I installed previous versions. I have no programming experience but I am interested in testing ReactOS. I will send a screen shot of the error.

Hi Mark I agree that the embedded market is one to look at. However, the reliability of ReactOS would have to be proven to be successful I'm sure.

Will this just be for the code in CVS or for 0.2 as well?

Hi all Indeed, Steven and myself are having a little debate on this issue. This is because I'm in the planning stages of setting up a for-profit company that would sell solutions around ReactOS and eventually look to hire ReactOS developers fulltime. I feel that such redistribution of ReactOS, before its usable as a desktop OS, through this company would be an excellent exersize in getting operations started - while contributing the profits back in the same way: bounties for development.

Supporting Development of ROS
by Al Hartman 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

As a non-programmer, I'd be willing to donate towards bounties when that structure is in place. And have a machine all ready to test future releases on. I'm really excited about, and will to support financially an Open Source replacement for Windows NT/2k. I think this will be a boon to the PC Community. I hope that in the next year there will be available versions of ROS that will boot to a desktop, and let us start having an OS to test and play with more fully. Great work so far! Al

Hi I'm not at against the Non Profit accepting doncations. As for business: I think that the licensing terms of the GNU General Public License are enough to keep businesses in line. For one thing, if a business does not comply, they will be shunned by the developer community and receive some nasty press. The great thing is that you have several companies with the same core product. This means that they have to be sure to offer superior service and keep up good relations with the community instead of resting on their Intellectual Property laurels.
