We do not need night build. if u want lates iso of reactos go to http://svn.reactos.org and download it there. it is not a livecd it is bootcd.
and it is not a nigth build it is a build on each commit that have been done. but rember some iso is really broke and some other work fine.

Do these apps work on ReactOS ?

Post by kristaps »

Did anyone tried to run programs from last SVN builds on real windows xp ?
explorer and ibrowser dies on startup and notepad has no icon.

I am lazy to test it, but I think they MUST work fine on WinXP.

Why don't you try for yourself? explorer and notepad are running, just used them 3 days ago (on ROS of course). I don't know about ibrowser, though, because I don't use it.

:lol: Why should your HDD crash? You can install thousands of OS'ses in one year and still the HDD works, if it doesn't, and starts ticking or something else, blame your HDD's manufacturer.

I dont know. You "CAN" force an HDD to fail prematurely by sending specific read/write instructions callibrated in such a way as to accoustically damage the drive.

(EG, get the read head to move back and forth in a resonant pattern by issuing carefully selected ATAPI seek & purge cache commands, causing physical damage to the arm of the read head. Kinda like "Disk thrashing" on crack!)

This however, would be VERY drive specific.... But I can see ways in which you could experementally determine what sectors to repeatedly seek to/from by measuring the latency between read instructions in MS..........

But that is just plain malicious, and I dont see how an OSS program could do such a thing and NOT get seriously trash-talked from it.

If a program does this accidentally, it is because it is either very poorly written, or your drive is too stupid to cache commonly read sectors. (This is why a cache purge command would be needed between cycles of DOOM, as outlined above) In one case, the vendor of the software needs an angry letter. In the case of the latter, your hard drive mfg is on crack.

Hi, I compiled from svn a bootcd only with debug set to 0 (if I did that correctly) and with export ROS_PREFIX=i586-mingw32msvc

The ISO is at ftp://mihost.dnsalias.com

This machine is running 24/7, but at home, so something can happen, but in general it is always online and accesible.

I'll try to update the ISO, if not daily, every two or three days...

I am really new to this (compiling stuff), any comment will be apreciated :D

How do I set the optimize to 1 and debug to 0 ? those should be the default for daily builds, right?

EDIT:
As Jaix told, I should have posted the solution to the problem, here it is:
as answered on IRC, rename config.template.rbuild to config.rbuild and edit the second one. That file is easily readable, and there you can change optimization settings, debug mode and smp between others.

Well, that is very good, but if you want to do some good things, please explain the solution so the answer can be searchable for others too.

Ok, now I know how to make the builds. On ftp://mihost.dnsalias.com you can find daily builds for i486, both livecd and install, and also builds optimized for pentium4 and athlon-xp, but these two won't be daily (maybe every two or three days).

Compiled with debug=0 and smp=0.

Any suggestion will be appreciated :)

I had a few, but when I updated the tree again, they were fixed even though it showed no updates... My guess is, the tree was not finished being updated by the devs... A good time to get updates is ususally around 18:00GMT... It seems that development tables off by then...

Compiles fine for me. If you still have problems, try to delete makefile.auto, this helps sometimes. And delete obj-i386 and output-i386 for a complete new build.

r21321 fixed the Problem. I build a ISO right now for my mirror. P.S:I delete makefile.auto and the three folders made by Script everytime I make a ISO.
