If you don't build it in a XP supportive way, it will most likely NOT run. I have no clue if MSVC 2017 is able to still do that at all. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/vs2017-compatibility-vs MS says it 2017 does support targeting XP still. I'm pretty sure you have to enab...

For example, make sure that a compiler such as FreePascal,Lazarus, ZinjaI works well, What do you think about? Lazarus and ZinjaI are not compilers. What exactly is your point... Sure it's an IDE but I'm pretty certain you got the gist of what was being said. Most Windows developers don't use a com...

I want to add another software that works on ReactOS: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mgsmtp/ A basic and tiny MTA SMTP server for windows and of course ReactOS, tested with public ip and reverse dns settings, was able to send email to other mail servers (though for some reason doesn't work for gm...

I know! Some commercial software I use (for HMIs) creates a bunch of tray icons, and every time you restart it's runtime during development it dumps a bunch more icon's in there... I've seen upwards of 50 icons in my tray from dead apps before! that is some shitty written software then :) Not sure ...

Is the iexplorer browser supposed to do downloads? Because I tried to download firefox for WinXP from mozilla.org and although the status bar said it was "Downloading from (URL)", nothing more happened. You can install Firefox using the Apps installer... there is a link to it by default o...

Technically Windows NT 4.0 supported MIPS (and Alpha and PowerPC... as well as a never released Sparc64 port) though obviously not the exact setup that is in the PS2. Also I think you could disable a few services and make a few tweaks to get ReactOS well under 32MB though you'd still only have enoug...

I know the release notes say it boots in 96MB but... I was booting RC0 in much less than that not sure why the release seems to need more?

no one needs a old winfile Sure, no one needs it, but that doesn't mean no one wants it. Nostalgia can be a powerful ally! I for one wish there was a version of edit on ReactOS I know notepad is better in most every way but... still I used to read using edit quite alot and it would be nice to have....

@middings quite right the intention was not to ruffle feathers or derail the topic. But such is life. As far as to the point that most programmers interested only know asm, C and C++... That's a disservice to themselves as sticking to just those languages means alot of the time you are using the wro...

I agree that LwIP needs rewritten as it is not inherently thread safe, at least not in all functions. What we have now is some sort of semaphore system to control the gating into the function. At least it works, but it not ideal. Really, the functions should have all that safety themselves, not rel...

IwIP is an embedded library... sure its great but as ReactOS developers themselves have already said it isn't ideal to build a fully featured IP stack around as it is lacking in a few minor but difficult to change areas. Also, how many times has memory management and several other large features bee...

https://github.com/m-labs/smoltcp Seeing as Mozilla has seen massive improvements in their ability to effectively write threaded code in Firefox with release 57 (it's way faster on the lowish end machines I've tried) and they designed Rust to live seamlessly with C code. Why not use a TCP/IP layer w...
