General Haiku Discussion

I've bought recently a Midi usb keyboard, and wanted to get it working on Haiku. So, as usb_midi driver is not included in night builds I compiled my own. After testing with R29014, R29065 and R29080, It worked (after a lot of plugs and unplugs). May I post a ticket or it's just to early for that?

I've been looking at usb_midi source, but can not guess whenever the driver is completed or not.

Hello All;
I trying to compile Lua to Haiku but it fail. I know, already exist a Lua port to Haiku, but I'm trying to put Lua while builds Haiku, to make my custom build, along other softwares, like bash, sed, etc... I wrote a Jamfile to compile it, like this bellow:

SubDir HAIKU_TOP src bin lua src ;

CCFLAGS on lua = -O2 -Wall -c ;

Main lua : lua.c ;

LinkLibraries lua : liblua ;

Library liblua : lapi.c lbaselib.c ldblib.c ldo.c lfunc.c linit.c llex.c lmem.c lobject.c loslib.c lstate.c lstrlib.c ltablib.c lundump.c lzio.c
lauxlib.c lcode.c ldebug.c ldump.c lgc.c liolib.c lmathlib.c loadlib.c lopcodes.c lparser.c lstring.c ltable.c ltm.c lvm.c print.c ;

I put Lua in the directory haiku/src/bin/lua/ , and it compiles well, but when is linking, occurs an error! Bellow, the output:

[root@riemann src]# jam lua

I don't know what's happening, anyone may help!?
Cheers :-)

I have downloaded the source tree from osdrawer.net and compiled. The readme file discusses using make-install, but this does not work on Haiku.

The source files from osdrawer.net use jam to compile the code but there is no install script.

I have seen some posts on the mailing lists, but they seem to be very rude and terse with absolutely no help on getting and installing the imkit in Haiku. Please post only helpful comments.

Hi, I have installed Haiku on the hard drive of my ancient laptop and love it, but there is a problem: the only way I can get internet on it at the moment is through an SMC Ez PCMCIA card, which from what I understand won't work with Haiku due to there being no PCMCIA support.

Anyway, what I was wondering was if there was any other way that Haiku supported which allowed me to get online besides PCMCIA and built in PCI cards. I can tell you my laptop has 1 USB 1.0 (not even 1.1, just 1.0) port, and of course a serial port.
