About Haïku packages and Haïku network

Forum thread started by t5in9tao on Tue, 2007-02-13 14:12

Hi all,

First of all, what's a very nice new site!! Thank you for that ;)

My 1st question: about application
Is there a list of Haïku packages (such as http://www.openbsd.org/4.0_packages/i386.html for OpenBSD 4.0) and what is the system for install them ?
For example, on OpenBSD, we just need to enter this command: pkg_add
And on MacOS, we just need to drag and drop (very powerful system).

My last question: about network
As I had read, Haïku haven't a very well understand with network protocol... But when do you think it's will be okay (like on *BSD or Linux system) ?

Thank you.

Building Haiku

Forum thread started by tonestone57 on Sun, 2007-02-11 22:12

I've been able to build Haiku on Linux, but not on BeOS.
(Read Copyattr Error for info).

Has anyone with an AMD processor system been able to build Haiku on BeOS??? (Yes or No).

If yes,
which did you use:
Zeta & Version # (ie: Zeta 1.2)
R5/netserver (ie: BeOS Max 3.1)
R5/Bone (ie: BeOS 5.0.3 + Bone)
Dano

What software did you install to get it to build?
Also, motherboard chipset if you know it.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a general problem or specific only to me.

Copyattr Error

Forum thread started by tonestone57 on Sun, 2007-02-11 20:57

I've been able to build Haiku on Linux without issues, but having some trouble getting it to build on BeOS.

I'm building Haiku on BeOS Dev Ed 1.1 (R5/netserver).

Installed & using the latest & proper GCC & Jam versions.

I get an error during the build.

Error is:
The application:

/bin/copyattr --data src/bin/gdb/bfd/config-x86/bfd-in3.h gener

has encountered an error which prevents it from continuing. ....

How can I get Haiku to compile on BeOS?
Is there a newer copyattr binary I can install?
Would installing a different Tracker work better?

Any ideas?

Update #1
I installed latest OpenTracker. Still same error.

When I got the error again, I went into debug mode & saw:
Invalid opcode occurred
fsc_amd:

I want to see this in Haiku (html reader)

http://www.bebits.com/app/4440

for documentation, haikubook, etc

Probably a silly question

This may be dumb of me to ask, but are ther currently any beos native apps, say from bebits, that work on haiku? Any examples?

[OT?] The Most Power-Efficient High-Performance Processor Ever Designed

Forum thread started by forart.it on Tue, 2007-02-06 09:24

[quote="SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Feb. 5, 2007"]The P.A. Semi PA6T-1682M, developed in 65-nanometer process technology, is a 64-bit dual-core microprocessor, designed from the ground up, based on the company's Power Architecture license from IBM. The 1682M integrates what is typically a three- to five-chip-set platform into a single chip, called a "platform processor." Total device power dissipation is 5-13W (typical), and worst-case power is 25W, with both CPUs running at 2 GHz and all peripherals active. This is three times to four times lower power than other processor solutions implemented in 65-nanometer process technology with equivalent peripherals support.

Haiku and PXE

Forum thread started by El-Al on Sat, 2007-02-03 19:34

Hi,
does anyone have any information on building a Haiku image utilizing the recently added support for PXE? I'd be grateful for any info on this.

TIA
