Applications / Re: Configuration script for bulding ffmpeg 8.0.1

Interesting, that was the command that the FFmpeg developers said to use many years back. Time goes on.
If you remember, when I first used the command, it failed as upstream didn't support xttrs and you added a switch to disable xttrs. Looking at the dates, 16 years has gone by :(

Setup & Installation / Re: Start MINIMIZED, but it won't!
« Last post by Steven Levine on Today at 07:09:09 am »
Unless you have modified setenv.cmd, it's going to logically end with

 start G:\netqos2\help_server_start.cmd
 exit

Since this is a cmd.exe batch, the exit will terminate the session.

Since your help_server_start.cmd is REXX, the exit will terminate the REXX script a leave the session running.  To terminate the session, you need to replace the exit with 'exit'.

If you want setenv to start help_server_start.cmd minimized, you need to change the parameters to

 /min G:\netqos2\help_server_start.cmd

Your rsync command is better written as

  rsync -hirltL --timeout=60 --progress --protocol=30 rsync://fate-suite.ffmpeg.org/fate-suite/ /fate.ffmpeg/fate-suite

--verbose is primarily for debugging. --itemize-changes will show you want was fetched and why.  --checksum is rarely useful.

--whole-file is rarely useful, even for the first-time rsync pull from a remote server.

--protocol=30 is required if the server is running an rsync newer than 3.0.9 which is almost 100% sure to be true these days.

The OS/2 rsync port implemented protocol 31 to support transferring OS/2 permissions.  At the time, the maximum native rsync protocol was 30.  Currently, the maximum rsync protocol is 32.    The OS/2 protocol in not compatible with what a native rsync implements as protocol 31 so we need to prevent rsync from using it.

You can always ask anpm to list all the matching packages in the enabled repos, but for me, the command line is often quicker

>yum --noplugins -C list  openssl-libs*  |& tee clip:
Installed Packages
openssl-libs.pentium4                1:1.1.1w-1.oc00                 installed
Available Packages
openssl-libs.i686                    1:1.1.1l-1.oc00                 netlabs-rel
openssl-libs.pentium4                1:3.4.1-2.oc00                  netlabs-exp


For git, we have

>yum --noplugins -C list git  |& tee clip:
Installed Packages
git.pentium4                      2.30.2-2.oc00                      installed
Available Packages
git.i386                          2.0.0-2.oc00                       netlabs-rel
git.i686                          2.11.0-4.oc00                      netlabs-rel
git.pentium4                      2.50.1-1.oc00                      netlabs-rel


If git 2.50 requires openssl-lib 1.3.4, perhaps an issue needs to be submitted to the bitwisework rpm-issues repo?

Setup & Installation / Start MINIMIZED, but it won't!
« Last post by Dariusz Piatkowski on Today at 02:18:32 am »
OK, all things considered this is trivial, but kind of annoying.

Part of the IBM CPP 3.65 install is the object to start the on-line help system, which is basically the NetQ application feeding the CPP content.

That object has the following parameters:

1) 'Required Path and file..' => G:\OS2\CMD.EXE
2) 'Optional Parameters...' => /k G:\code\tools\Ibmcpp\BIN\SETENV.CMD CPPHLP36.EXE open index.htm

where:

SETENV.CMD just sets up the enviornment and CPPHLP36.EXE is the NetQ help server itself.

That object is set to: start minimized in OS/2 window and close the window on exit. This works fine.

However, since it is nice to have full control over that help server I created two separate objects which basically enable me to manually START & STOP the server w/o invoking the CPPHLP36.exe itself. Reason here being: sometimes I just shut down my DEV session and wish to re-start later having saved all my pertinent bookmarks, and so when those are re-loaded I need the back end NetQ server up and running.

Those objects have the same setup as the originally installed IBM one:

1) 'Required Path and file..' => G:\OS2\CMD.EXE
2) 'Optional Parameters...' => /k G:\code\tools\Ibmcpp\BIN\SETENV.CMD G:\netqos2\help_server_start.cmd

where:

help_server_start.cmd contains the following:

Code: [Select]
/* This script will fire up the NETQ help system */

/* start the netq server */
'netq start server'

/* now start the HTTP deamon serving the help info */
'G:\NETQOS2\HTTPDL.EXE -r g:\netqos2\httpd.cnf'

exit

However, when I instantiate that object despite the fact that it's SESSION is set to run in OS/2 Windsow, Start minimized and Close on exit, that window just opens up on my Desktop (in the foreground) and doesn't close.

What am I missing here???

It seems like this should be really simple, and yet it escapes me!

Just for shits and giggles I actually went through all the individual components (the CMD files, etc.) adjusting their object settings to do what I want, and yet the result is the same.

How do I force this thing to just flat out 'run in the background' w/o me ever seeing anything?

No problem David, take care of the family. I wish you the best.

Hello

I had synced all the files in this thread with the new hobbes site:
-- https://hobbes.os-2.in/browse/dynicons

I tried to standardize the file names too.

I'm putting a marker here with a lot of smily faces so I can see it easier on the next upload batch for Hobbes.

Did you try enabling netlabs-exp? Install the netlabs-exp package, with ANPM, go to Manage-->Repositories and enable netlabs-exp and see if you can now access openssl-libs 3.4.1-2, install it and go back to Manage-->Repositories and disable netlabs-exp

Okay, pentium4 was already set. I can install git 2.11, but there is also a package for 2.50. This fails with for me.

Strange, just updated here an hour or so back and worked fine, retrying, get the expected
Code: [Select]

Try again, maybe make sure that the directory /ffmpeg.distr/fate-suite exists.
Edit: Just in case, here's my rsync.exe
