You should just use build.cmd when building an app. That's a very limited view of the potential here. We're trying to help you develop the build environment, and the installation thereof. Now, as well as later, the build environment will need to be refreshed, and it can be easily accomplished by starting with ux2_inst.cmd modified as has been suggested by users, rather than by reformatting the target partition and starting at \ux2_bootstrap.cmd Re-entrant variable definitions are a bad deal in any event ;-} Thanks, -- Maynard _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 06:40:16 -0600 (CST) From: "Maynard" Subject: Re: Cleaning up ux2_inst.cmd some Hi James, Thanks for all of your observations and suggestions. > Some intro material about how the build process works could have saved me a bucnh of >time. As a volunteer effort in a communal project led by John and still experiencing evolutionary overhauls and radical changes, it's only yet a little bit early for hard documentation and strong open invitation with support. I've started however with some pages at http://warped.mentabolism.org/UnixOS2/ux2bs.html and Ted maintains a project website which I've linked therefrom. Pretty soon we ought to be able to point new users to a single starting point where they can find all the important and useful information before they sadly waste time unnecessarily tripping over problems that have been already been identified. John's working on some new bootstrapping ideas, and posix integration, which is causing an appropriate delay to my work on improving the user experience by providing documentation and debugging tools. I hope that you can stick around and contribute. John's done a great job so far in providing a simple bootstrapping which yields the OS/2 user a functioning command shell and perl installation; and that's just the beginning. The bigger vision of course is a full functioning development environment and easy integration with the GNU archive.

However I should point out that the correct sequence is to run update_base.cmd once Perl has been built successfully. This cmd will create and update some of the essential tools, including byacc and flex, which are required for building many apps. The whole process is still very much work in progress and does need extensive testing.

It sits as a proxy between the email client and the email server. The client requests messages from popfile which in turn retrieves messages from the server. popfile then cogitates on the messages and decides which are spam and which are not. Perl goes into an infinite loop somewhere after the first access by the email client, using 100% CPU and steadfastly refuses to terminate. *Nothing* can terminate perl once it has entered this state. ctrl-alt-del is the only solution. The loop appears to be in IO::select(). select() is a recursive function. (\unixos2\workdir\perl-5.8.0\lib\IO\select.pm) My questions: 1. Any suggestions on troubleshooting perl code at this level? 2. Am I correct in assuming that the parameters are progressively shifted into $_[0] and parameters at the end of the array become "undef"? What if they are not undef'd? 3. How does select() effect the timeout?

Binaries are highly optimized (pgcc -O6 and a few other flags) and lxlite'd. Built with 64-bit int and DEBUGGING enabled (except in toke.c). Added I18N/Langinfo to the modules list. Defined "isnan" and "isfinite" manually; they're macros in math.h, as a result of which they usually fail the gcc tests in configure scripts. And a few more little things I don't remember offhand. For details, just diff its Config.pm with your own. h~ _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 25 ==========================** Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 18:04:50 GMT From: ux2bugs at os2ports.com Subject: [UX2BS 0000001]: First Bug The following bug has been DELETED. ====================================================================== Reporter: admin Handler: ====================================================================== Project: UX2BS Bug ID: 1 Category: Reproducibility: random Severity: trivial Priority: urgent Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 02-25-2003 10:47 UTC Last Modified: 02-25-2003 10:56 UTC ====================================================================== Summary: First Bug Description: Similar to 'First Post' but not as gratifying. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- admin - 02-25-2003 10:55 UTC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminder sent to john We will have to remedy this 'First Bug' with a solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- admin - 02-25-2003 10:56 UTC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminder sent to admin Hello World!

All manpages of the standard GNU tools are created by help2man. It's quite useful to create quick'n dirty man pages for your programs. It's also possible to create your own manpage from plain text. > (And why is everybody so fond of > those ugly man pages... ;-) ). A better question would be: Why do some admins install no other online documention system? ;-) Bye, Andreas -- One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 28 ==========================** Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 20:18:45 +0000 From: John Poltorak Subject: Perl build problem using Posix/2 I have tried building Perl using Posix/2 headers and libs along with the patched gcc and three patches, to:- Configure, os2/os2.c, hints/os2.sh but there seems to be something missing since I can't get as good a build as Stefan did a few days ago.
