Some might know that we had a XBox port of ROS a while ago. It was not really maintained because we had no USB working at that time and its the only way to add a Mouse and Keyboard to the Box. Thus the port at all is fully regressed. To fix it we need a way to receive debug output. Well, Output to file and screen works, but not in the early stages of our bootloader + not in the kernel debugger which halts all File System drivers on access and screen output only works on boot, not in GUI Mode. Here we need a Serial Port and the only XBox with a Serial Port is a DevKit. (NOT the green Debug Box). If anyone has one or knows where to get one, plz mail me.

Hi, OK the DNS seems to be back at a stable state now. Colin moved it to another VM and there it does not fail sporadically somehow. Maybe it didnt like the presence of Doxygen 😉
Hi,
as some already might have noticed, the reactos website is not available right now. This is due to our DNS failing again and again. To fix this, add this to your hosts file (located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc):
188.40.64.40 iserv.reactos.org
188.40.64.41 svn.reactos.org
188.40.64.42 reactos.org
188.40.64.42 www.reactos.org
188.40.64.15 ev.reactos.org
178.63.22.52 doxygen.reactos.org
Hiho, after the recent Bugs found after release and not in the RCs strangely (LAZY SCUM! 😛 ) I had to make another sub version, because one bug prevented using the update command…. Its the same as 1.5.1, but all known and discussed bugs are fixed. Have fun, its on sf.net
OK, some hours after I released the final, BOOM, critical Bug found. If it just would have been in RosBE 1.5.1, ok, fine, that would be as always, I want ppl test a prerelease and no one cares. But nooo, it already was added in RosBE 1.5 U1 and no one seems to have ever stepped in it. Well, if you have strange Path errors on RosBE startup: FIX
So, after I fixed a last bug in the RC which rendered clean under ps unuseable, here it is. The rest worked well and is still the same as the RC was.
Hi, its been a while, but here it is, RosBE 1.5.1 first and hopefully last RC:
Changelog:
– Updated NASM to 2.08.01 (Daniel Reimer)
– Updated YASM to 1.0.0 (Daniel Reimer)
– Updated SVN to 1.6.11 (Daniel Reimer)
– Readded the old behavior of RosBE to ignore the System PATH Variable. Many ppl will love it as fix for overly stupid installed cygwin and WinAVR Tools.
To activate it, make a system Variable named "_ROSBE_NOSYSPATH" and set it to 1. (Daniel Reimer)
– sSVN: Make use of the http:// protocol instead of the svn:// one. (Daniel Reimer)
– Add remakex command to RosBE. (Daniel Reimer)
– Add sound output on finished build. On PS we have one for a successful and one for a failed build. On CMD we have just one for now, if you let it generate a LOG File. (Daniel Reimer)
– Made a small modification to be able to ask for help for ps commands in RosBE, too. (Daniel Reimer)
– Introduce %_BUILDBOT_SVNSKIPMAINTRUNK% as first of maybe more coming BuildBot Vars to skip the updating of the main trunk source when ssvn is used to do so. If its being set to "1" it only updates rosapps and rostests if existent. This is needed for Olaf Siejka’s Windows BuildBot project.
As Default its set to "0" and thus all behaves as before. (Daniel Reimer)
– Fix a access error when you start two builds in the same minute on a PC by adding the seconds to $TIMENAME, too. (Daniel Reimer)
– Clean up $DATENAME which included the year twice. (Daniel Reimer)
– Weaken the ROS Source Dir check in clean a bit so that it does remove the built stuff even if it did not even build any tool yet. (Daniel Reimer)
– Add the correct license to the audio files. (Daniel Reimer)
– If a custom output folder is defined, pass it to log2lines, too. (Mephisto, Daniel Reimer)
– Feature request by Olaf Siejka. The sSVN parameters "rosapps" and "rostests" were originally made for just creating rosapps / rostests repositories in the modules folder. Now it detects an existent repository and just updates that one. If there’s no repository or even no folder for the repository it first generates it and continues. Additionally you can set the revision you want to checkout or update to. "create" accepts a revision as second parameter now, too. (Daniel Reimer)
– Make sSVN fully multi Source Tree compatible by removing the dependency on the _ROSBE_ROSSOURCEDIR variable. (Daniel Reimer)
Hi,
ok, we had some problems with our recent tries to get a vaild and for us useable GCC with MinGW-W64. After some tries and with the help of Kai Tietz from MinGW-W64 we managed it. Here is another try which uses GCC 4.5.0 and looks promising.
It uses:
– GCC 4.5.0 RC
– GNU Binutils 2.20.51.20100409
– GMP 5.0.1
– MPFR 2.4.1
– MPC 0.8.1-1
– MinGW Runtime 3.18
– w32api 3.14
Hi, here a nice pics to show the upcoming USB Support in ROS. This is mjmartin’s USBEHCI inside Win2000.
Hi,
after the recent efforts by Timo Kreuzer to make a self built GCC 4.4.3 with MinGW-W64, here a new RosBE64 Version. It was made with this manual plus some additional CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS to make a O2 optimized and stripped Version.
It’s modified to be built with “–fno-leading-underscore” which is needed to fix some recent bugs Timo stumbled upon.
It uses:
– GCC 4.4.3 Release
– GNU Binutils 2.20.51.20100409
– GMP 5.0.1
– MPFR 2.4.1
– MinGW Runtime 3.18
– w32api 3.14
Happy Testing!
