Developer Tutorials

Forum thread started by admin on Tue, 2004-06-29 23:19

Hey everyone,
We're in need of some simple tutorials to help people get started programming in BeOS / Haiku. If anyone would be interested in writing a tutorial, please email me at kurtis at zekimedia dot com and let me know what you'd be interested in doing. Some sample ideas are:

X Server?

Forum thread started by disks86 on Wed, 2011-09-21 22:58

I know Haiku doesn't use X server but is there any kind of compatibility wrapper like cygwin on windows?

Any Good Guides on gcc?

Forum thread started by stellarpower on Tue, 2011-07-26 21:53

In basic, I'd like a reference source about using the compiler and, most importantly, what exactly errors mean. I'm still a beginner so bits about code optimisation and compiler design are not needed at the moment.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank-you.

lacks for bethon

Forum thread started by TmTFx on Fri, 2011-07-15 06:41

I'm using Bethon to write some applications for Haiku and now i was learning something about Replicants...
The delusion came when i saw that in Bethon 0.5.4 there are no BDragger and no BShelf modules
so i find hard to write Replicant applications...
My C++ knowledge is not enough strong to do this work, so is there someone interested importing that important classes to bethon? it would be a boost in python development under haiku

Tasks for a Newby Developer

Forum thread started by stellarpower on Wed, 2011-07-13 17:40

I was wondering, it seems that most of the work that can be done to contribute to Haiku or its applications has to be done by someone with a very good knowledge of programming and Haiku's system design/API. So, is there any sort of scheme that could be set up to give new programmers tasks at the right level of difficulty that would contribute to Haiku or add applications? To put it shortly, I'm working through Programming the BeOS and have read Learning to Program with Haiku, but know not what to do next.

BString operator<< incomplete

Forum thread started by fano on Tue, 2011-06-28 07:36

As you can see in this page: http://api.haiku-os.org/classBString.html you can't add a long long, a double or a bool to a string, if you want to do this you should cast to a lower type risking to lose precision.

Seeing the BString code it seems easy to add this methods as in the end snprintf() is used.
They are not added because it could broke BeOs compatibility?

What do you think?

Networking, DHCP.

Forum thread started by kazu on Thu, 2011-06-23 08:34

Hello.

I fooled around with Haiku in Virtualbox but then I decided to install it on one of my computers. But I cannot access the Internet. My PCs all have IP-Addresses of 192.168.178.*, the router is 10.0.0.1, the network device on Haiku is "/dev/net/nforce/0", all my computers get an IP-Address by DHCP. I've tried ping and fooled around with ifconfig so far, but I don't really know what to do. :(

Please help!

Cheers,
Kazu. :)
