Linux GUI programming

[DarkWolf]

I think I still have 2.14 not sure because the linux version still reports itself as 2.13

that's a tricky one, but you can probably keep it out of the library since the stdlib has a system command now (but it works a bit differently than mine).

Just the os2_sysexec file or all the os2 files; which relates to your version of the system command.

I am having power issues with a local snow storm so I'll look at your website later.

elitism.

i wanted to get a proof of theory out asap and planned on writing the window control with the button widgets later.  but like i said, i got frustrated trying to find help documents on how to do all that stuff so i just gave up and moved on to greener pastures...windows.

Yes, I know.
They cry community, then don't want to play nice.  (See my posts in --hutch's wikipedia thread)
The thing is the user in question in the linux newsgroup was normally helpful in the past. Guess I hit the right button this time.

Documentation is one thing that Linux devs do not do well.

i just uploaded v1.72.04
you will need hla v2.15+ to build it.

Just the os2_sysexec file or all the os2 files; which relates to your version of the system command.

only os2_sysexec relates to my version of system command.

though you may consider keeping it in and testing if the changes i made work, as far as the last time i built the library on linux myself (over a year ago), my os2.sysexec had better path-finding code (on linux) than the hlalib os.system version.  that may or may not have changed since.

the other function in my os2 namespace, getmodulepath does not have an hlalib counterpart.

thanks.  that's a relic from the older hlalib.  there are two places in the code where that should change to filesys.exists.

did you change both of them?

Oddly linux hla still calls ld even though I specified -vc options:

Yes but it still flags it.

Oddly linux hla still calls ld even though I specified -vc options:

that is odd.

Just had a thought; maybe hla doesn't let you combine the options ie I need to specify -v -c seperately. I'll have to try that. It is common on linux to be able to do that.

I avoided cause I assumed that anything that used the debug functions were windows specific. I'll have to look again.

:) Good Luck.

I was trying to build kmake and guilib a few minutes ago and for guilib I think everything is okay except for some reason I can't get hla or ld to link with guilib.a; it can't seem to find it. I even placed it in the same directory with hlalib.a

Last attempt on guilib.hla was this:

the linking issues you're having may be related to the order in which you link the files.  link in hidelib.a before guilib.a
i believe ld does sequential symbol search as the libraries are linked in and doesn't want to look ahead for missing symbols.

Not sure how to do that. I have tried a few options for ld but nothing seems to set hidelib before guilib.

os2_sysexec.hla still fails because it doesn't recognize filesys.exists as a valid ID.
But it looks like that hidelib will still compile anyway just without that file.

Looks like it still can't find the libraries.
They are actually located in the above path but I don't get why ld is having an issue.

[Sevag.K]

Not sure how to do that. I have tried a few options for ld but nothing seems to set hidelib before guilib.

linking order matters i think.  since guilib calls on hlalib functions, hlalib has to be linked first on the commandline.
so...
Linking via [ld     -o "src/guilib"   "src/guilib.o" "/media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hlalib.a"]

instead of that, use
Linking via [ld     -o "src/guilib"  "/media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hlalib.a" "src/guilib.o" ]

os2_sysexec.hla still fails because it doesn't recognize filesys.exists as a valid ID.

ld's error is this:

Code Select Expand


Linking via [ld     -o "src/guilibtest"   "src/guilibtest.o" "/media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hide/hidelib.a" "/media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hide/guilib.a" "/media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hlalib.a"]
Error returned by ld = 256


Looks like it still can't find the libraries.
They are actually located in the above path but I don't get why ld is having an issue.

i'll take a look at this when i get the time.  but just as a reminder, you also have to link in the x libraries to your test program.  khla used to do this automatically, but as i've said, khla is abandoned and i don't even have the sources anymore.  maybe it's online somewhere and you can find the source line with the proper ld command line to use.

Who wrote this crap ?!

First ld will not search the path I give it on the command line for the libraries.
I cannot specify /media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hlalib.a (yes I keep my programming stuff that deep)
It will never search there, it will never try.

The -l switch does not specify a path, so I cannot use "-l /media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/hlalib.a" (actually I use a macro but this is what it expands to)
The -L specifies the path but not a file name. "-L /media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib"

The makefile command:

ld  --verbose -o "bin/my_guilibtest"  -L "$(hla_lib)" -L "$(hide_lib)" -l "/hlalib.a"  -l "hidelib.a"  -l "guilib.a"  "src/guilibtest.o" >> log/build.log


Here's where it actually looked :

attempt to open /media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/lib/hlalib.a.so failed
attempt to open /media/data/Programming/asm/hlalib/lib/hlalib.a.a failed


Yes that's right not only does -L appends a /lib to the file path but -l appends both a .a and .so to the file name. No wonder it can't find shit.

I can't find anything in the man page to alter this.
