I just posted this up on AW.net. Now we really need to get on with work. I will be splitting the effort so 4 will work on openoffice, and 4 will be on Amizilla. > > OK, the results of the project selection process are in: I have 8 > students now confirmed as working for me.

IEEE1284 - Parallel
by Rene W. Olsen 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Hello, Is there any library for IEEE1284 support (parallel device) for OS4? SANE uses it for Parallel scanners, if no one planning it I maybe chould be tempted to do a wrapper for OS4. Kind regards Rene W. Olsen

PThread
by Rene W. Olsen 06 Sep '05

Hello, I have been doing some coding on SANE now that my Python project was mindless... I have almost got all the MainFunction compiled there is just two files that dont work... the first is a file with SCSI support commands in it, I have just skip it as I have no SCSI to test it with. The second is Thread support and a more serious problem. They have been so nice to make two versions one with fork() and one with PThread.. When I try to compile the file it complains about some sigaction structure/function. (see below) static void restore_sigpipe( void ) { struct sigaction act; if( sigaction( SIGPIPE, NULL, &act ) == 0 ) { if( act.sa_handler == SIG_IGN ) { sigemptyset( &act.sa_mask ); act.sa_flags = 0; act.sa_handler = SIG_DFL; DBG( 2, "restoring SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL\n" ); sigaction( SIGPIPE, &act, NULL ); } } } In this code its first definded sigaction as a structure and then call it as a function ?! Its not the only place where they do that trick. This is what the compiler writes to me 2.Work:CVS-Home/sane-backends> make gcc -Wall -mcrt=clib2 -Os -Iwork:cvs-home/sane-backends/include -c -o sanei/sanei_thread.o sanei/sanei_thread.c sanei/sanei_thread.c: In function `restore_sigpipe': sanei/sanei_thread.c:310: error: storage size of 'act' isn't known sanei/sanei_thread.c:312: warning: implicit declaration of function `sigaction' sanei/sanei_thread.c:312: error: `SIGPIPE' undeclared (first use in this function) sanei/sanei_thread.c:312: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sanei/sanei_thread.c:312: error: for each function it appears in.) sanei/sanei_thread.c:310: warning: unused variable `act' sanei/sanei_thread.c: In function `sanei_thread_begin': sanei/sanei_thread.c:356: error: storage size of 'act' isn't known sanei/sanei_thread.c:360: error: `SIGPIPE' undeclared (first use in this function) sanei/sanei_thread.c:356: warning: unused variable `act' sanei/sanei_thread.c: In function `sanei_thread_sendsig': sanei/sanei_thread.c:411: warning: implicit declaration of function `pthread_kill' make: *** [sanei/sanei_thread.o] Error 1 Any vice person that know what to do? Ohh ya almost forgot they seam to use pthread_kill() is there an easy way to emulate that function? Kind regards Rene W. Olsen

Do we need Python? I'm looking at the MorphOS source, and I think I can port it. Kind regards Rene W. Olsen

Hi Thomas, You wrote: >Does Kaffe support JIT on PPC ? Yes, it does. For Linux, Darwin, MachTen, etc. It needs a full "config" development for OS4, followed by a port of the JIT for OS4. Like what I did for the M68K version and OS3.9. cheers,

Are we there yet?
by tony wyatt 30 Aug '05

Well, I've now some free time (unless They find something else for me to do), so I can do some more work on OOo at last. What has highest priority? Is there anything specific, or should I have a go at getting Kaffe working under OS4? [I have this dream of getting Kaffe to create a cache of already-jitted methods, to avoid the translation time whenever a method is reloaded. It could go well with Amiga shared libraries, as long as I can avoid the GPL virus.] cheers
