I get the following error compiling for OS4
'struct Library' has no member named 'FirstScreen' for the line
sc2 = IntuitionBase->FirstScreen;
How do i have to change this??

Thanks for any help

I am using the OS4 SDK. I missed the migrating guide though. Thanks for the hint.
I just read it and amkind of dizzy. The learning curve seems quite steep to me. Still: quite usefull too.

I am wondering how this interacts with the SDI headers, which looked like a good idea to include.
Looking through thes headers i note they only include two system headers.

#include <proto/alib.h>
#include <emul/emulregs.h>


I don't find these headers though. Where can they be found?

Thnals for any help


Joseph

@tonyw & rest of you guys,

I got rid of the 333 errors of this type by compiling with the -D__USE_INLINE__ option, which is suggested in codeportable-fr.pdf of Mathias PARNAUDEAU - mathias.p@wanadoo.fr.
An english version exists too.

The errorcount is not down much though, although the errors are much more varied.

I'll try to tackle them one by on.

@orgin
Neither seem to be the cause. The error is very systematic . I don't know for sure if it is the case for all functions (eg no complaint for the main function)
This source compiled well under OS3 <ith gcc 2.95 and i m now trying to get a working source for OS4. I added the SDI headers; It must be something iforgot to do or did not know of, i think, but what?

Joseph

Hello

i get the above error for example in this function declaration (and a lot of othes that compiled wel for OS3 but not for OS4.
It could be some headers forgotten? I don't see which, or?

int lvsearch(struct fulist *fls, char *str, char *ci, char *mode)
{
register char *p, *d, *t, *u;

etc etc

}

Thanks for any suggestion

preferences perhaps?

do you have a get volumes button to click on etc, probably show there... EndQuote


I guess the Diskmaster 2 prefs?

I don't have a volumes button, there is a 'root' element in the central listview.
which will show all volumes and assigns except env:

You can edit the prefs, but i wouldn't know how

Joseph

Hello,
Env: shows up in shell commands eg "info" but not in RMB/Open a Drawer/Volumes or in DiskMaster/Root
It shows also up in Gui4cli Directory listvieuws.

What causes this behaviour?

@Lio
thanks for your help.
@Rigo

I just wanted to be sure of the type of files i was compiling with the OS4.1 SDK gcc
The errors i get thrown look all very puzzling to me, so i want to be sure of every step i take.

Joseph

Hello,

How can i test from my program if some file is an OS3 or an OS4 executable?

Thanks

Joseph

@j?rg

I am extremely happy with OWB, allready some time now.
One thing i miss is the ability to load a local htm file.
As i need to use this all the time i just wrote a small gui (in gui4cli) to add some go around (open a file requester, then save the result to clips:0 as file:///htmlfile2load.htm)
This works OK except when i have letters such as "?, ?, ...." etc in the name.
Pasting the URL in the URL textin gadget, then hitting return changes the "?" in some code (%EF%BF%BD) and the file is not found.
I don't see how i can get around this.

Can you help me?

thanks

Joseph

@orgin

Great indeed.

What about a fileresuester for viewing a local file?

Joseph

@Rudei
You sure you didn't post anything?
A miracle just happened.
Next time i'll try to use a smiley. :))

@nbache
Indeed, that is what i was looking for.

Thanks

Hello,

The user interface to this forum seems to be rather sophisticated, but some help page about its features would be helpfull.

Example: some days (maybe it is weeks now) i did put a question on a forum.

I was however unable to find the exact forum to check for any answers.
