About B_TRANSLATE_MARK

Forum thread started by Eva on Tue, 2011-01-04 00:07

I am currently reading the source code of Haiku and came across "B_TRANSLATE_MARK".
I checked http://api.haiku-os.org/classBCatalog.html but did not find any explanation
related to B_TRANSLATE_MARK there.

Could anyone tell me what is its meaning and where is its definition located? Thanks.

app that runs in the background or is console-based

Forum thread started by Eva on Sun, 2011-01-02 06:32

(1) I am trying to find the source code for the system time shown in the Deskbar
since I am working on some app that should run in the background.

Anyone knows where this part of code is located in Haiku code tree?

***********************************************************************************

(2)
#include

int main()
{
printf("Test!");
return 0;
}

I got the following result:
/boot/develop/lib/x86/start_dyn.o: in function '_start':
start_dyn.c:(.text + 0x57): undefined reference to 'main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If I want to output something to the stdout, what should I write? Does it mean
that any app on Haiku has to be GUI-based? By the way I use Paladin as my IDE.

Problem with build Paladin from source

Forum thread started by Eva on Mon, 2010-12-27 20:03

I tried to build Paladin from source. When I entered:

hg clone http://paladin.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/paladin/paladin
cd paladin
buildsuite.sh 1

I got "Failed to build PInstallEngine.nodebug.pld. Error code 255".

Does anyone know the reason? Thanks in advance.

P.S. Haiku is installed in VirtualBox.

Is creating apps on a BeBox similar to Haiku on Intel PC?

Forum thread started by macsociety on Mon, 2010-12-20 04:13

In the process of getting a BeBox. Mad at myself for selling my other one and hope to have one in Jan 2011. Plan is to use it in my office and also start learning how to program. I am a Mac owner so have no PC to install Haiku on other than Virtual PC on a Mac Mini and doing it virtual. Prefer to learn on BeBox anyway.

So, curious coming from a non programmer newbie, will learning to program on a BeBox running BeOS Pro 5.03 help me and be similar to creating apps with Haiku on an Intel box down the road or are the just so different?

Shutdown function or shell command

Forum thread started by fortheloveofhaiku on Sun, 2010-12-12 00:54

Hey All, does any one know if there is a C++ function or a command i can call from the shell that can shutdown/restart haiku or would i have to create a separate function in my application?

Thanks guys :-)

V8/Crankshaft in haiku?

Forum thread started by fortheloveofhaiku on Thu, 2010-12-09 14:07

Hey all i wonder how difficult it would be to port googles V8 or newly released crankshaft javascript rendering engines to haiku (both are stand alone projects now written in C++)

What are your thoughts, it would be nice to integrate a engine like this into Web+

Cheers :-)

Data recovery tools.

Forum thread started by Earl Colby Pottinger on Sat, 2010-10-30 03:40

I 'dd' an image to the wrong drive and lost access to all the on a 149GB drive.

When I tried BFS-Tools it failed. I am asking if anyone else knows of any other recovery tools for Haiku. Or does this mean I need to write my own files scanning software?
