CSH
by Peter Bengtsson 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

I have now examined the csh sources closer and come to the conclusion that even though it will not be very difficult to port the code to OS4, it will be rather pointless. The csh implementation in question lacks a lot of functionality which would probably be needed for all but the simplest of csh scripts. I will therefore start looking at the tcsh implementation found on aminet to see if this might be more suitable for our needs. -Peter aka.

when should the website go public?
by David Doyle 20 Jan '05

When should the website go public? Once we have decided on this I will annouce it on Amigaworld.net and place a banner on the site. I think the mission statement needs better worded, this line "who will realise the project in their spare time" doesn't make any sence to me Regards David Doyle (DaveyD) Owner/Webmaster Amigaworld.net

Time to split the discussion?
by Peter Bengtsson 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

I have now begun examining the source of the csh implementation and it does not look too bad. The thing that struck me, however is that we might wish to split the mailinglist in two - one for project related discussion and one for development discussion. The risk is of course that one of the lists will stagnate, but the risk of not doing so is to flood this list with messages which are largely irrelevant to any non-programmer. (But perhaps this will make everyone feel more "in the know"?) Well, we can discuss this on _monday_ :-) I just thought I would mention it so people have time to think about it. Now on to the csh status: 1) The issue of csh using SAS/C internal structures seems to be possible to work around using a combination of NameFromFH() or ExamineFH() with freopen(). Possibly there might be some problem if there is a file handle which does not have a name. (Does anyone know is this is so? E.g. will NameFromFH(pr_COS) return "CONSOLE:" on OS4 if called with the default pr_COS of a DOS process run from shell?) 2) Rewriting the internal command handling to accept unix-style paths seems easy enough, though it will take some time to do. 3) There is be a bunch of other dependencies, but most seem minor and should be possible to work around using standard C and AmigaOS 3.1 code. My working plan for now is to continue using SAS/C while removing all obvious incompatibilities and then move the code to gcc to see what further issues pop up. -Peter aka.

Hi, Here's Olaf's anser for regarding the NameFromFH thingy... If you have a file handle, can't you duplicate it with DupLock ? Regards, -- Thomas Frieden <ThomasF(a)hyperion-entertainment.biz> Hyperion Entertainment - Naur dan i-deryg lhuin

Sourceforge project online
by Christophe Ochal 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hello, Ok guys, everyone who has some code to contribute, you will now be able to ;) http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiopenoffice/ Should we start with importing the current CVS copy we have? (Olegil's 'head') or start from scratch? Also, Archprogrammer, could you take over the csh port to gcc from TonyW?

You'd need something portentous like "Amiga > Openoffice.org porting project: the future is coming closer". (I'm catching up on my mails, been out of rotation for afew days due to the discovery that i do, actually have a life :P) That was a sleep deprived slogan, but i think it's quite usuable in the current state we are in, it's definatly not usuable for marketing tho ;) .... sure...

Building OO - Some first info
by Sascha 'SieGeL' Pfalz 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hi! After fiddling around with the sources I finally get the build process working. So far my Linux Box seems to have everything required installed except of some additional tools, which have to be downloaded and installed manually as SuSE at least does not provide them. I have written a small textfile where the build process and the required pre-workings are described, and another textfile which shows the initial configure run, so we can see what exactly is required to build. I found it very annoying that the build process actually does only work when using TCSH, the bash is not supported and does not work. This took me 2 hours to figure out :( Anyway the Build is now running, I'm expecting at least 12-18 Hours of compile time until everything is done. I eventually will install distccd which allows to add several machines to compile all together on one project, this may speed up things a lot (for interested ppl see http://distcc.samba.org) More info on that when the build is completed.
