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.

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. :)

serial port

Forum thread started by rayman80 on Wed, 2011-06-22 10:20

I saw some time ago, changes on the serial port (tty usb_serial and module), but after installing the R1/A3, I find nothing in the image on this part.

But I didn't stop there, I grabbed the sources of haiku (svn) and I compiled the part usb_serial and tty.

After comparison with BeOS, inserted into the system. But nothing seems to work ;(

Some research on the site about the serial port makes me think that some things work, but I can't move forward on the subject.

If anyone has more information to help ?

thank you in advance.

send a message to the Window

Forum thread started by TmTFx on Wed, 2011-06-08 07:16

I'd like to send a message from a separate thread to the main window, in the separated thread i'd like to put there the feedparser that retrieves feeds and after that invokes a message to the main window that will refresh the news list with new news retrivied, I tried to send different messages from the separated thread but it didn't work, which command should i use? i tried postmessage() but i think i'm doing something wrong, have I to implement something in the BApplication to receive messages from threads?

thanks for any advice
