Next RosBE… funny things to get there…

by on Jun.02, 2021, under ReactOS, RosBE

This post will be edited a few times I guess.

I try to publically sum up all stuff we need to get a RosBE with a working amd64 compiler.

GCC

First we need plugin support inside GCC. This seems to be default on *nix, but Windows has a special hackish implementation for that.

To use it we need to add –enable-plugin to the configure parameter list of both the 32 bit host and 64 bit guest cross compiler.

We need a newer GCC OR fix two lines to make plugin support build at all:

/gcc/c/Make-lang.in

— $(INSTALL_DATA) cc1$(exeext).a $(DESTDIR)/$(plugin_resourcesdir)/cc1$(exeext).a
++ $(INSTALL_DATA) cc1$(exeext).a $(DESTDIR)$(plugin_resourcesdir)/cc1$(exeext).a

/gcc/cp/Make-lang.in

— $(INSTALL_DATA) cc1plus$(exeext).a $(DESTDIR)/$(plugin_resourcesdir)/cc1plus$(exeext).a
++ $(INSTALL_DATA) cc1plus$(exeext).a $(DESTDIR)$(plugin_resourcesdir)/cc1plus$(exeext).a 

( Already fixed upstream https://gcc.gnu.org/git?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/c/Make-lang.in;h=a1cdee87264bcccffd3806f1c82be1ece3570723;hb=HEAD#l168 )

To get GMP in a plugin supportive manner I decided to build it twice! Once GCC does that because gmp is in the source tarball and once for the hackish plugin support!

RosBE 2.2.1 released

by on Jun.04, 2020, under ReactOS, RosBE

This is a lil bugfix release.

Due to some bug in our build script mingw-w64 was not behaving as expected. This is fixed now.

CMAKE was updated to 3.17.2 too.

Well, not much more. I cleaned up a bit and removed a experiment of the past AND updated all the copyright headers.

RosBE 2.1.5 released

by on Aug.07, 2017, under ReactOS, RosBE

After some russian guy goes on my nerves way too often to ignore him, here a lil bugfix release for the poor minded ppl out there who don’t know how to search Jira for known bugs, applying a fix and be happy with it.
– Btw, it’s not a nice way to go telling everyone that the whole russian community is too stupid to do that which he clearly did more than once by DEMANDING a fix release for the whole “poor” russian community.
– Btw #2, saying that the whole russian communty is not able to realize that a 32 bit OS is not that suitable for development anymore these days is the same thing IMHO.

Changelog:

– Changed ninja to Win32 build (Hello jeditobe…) (Daniel Reimer)
– Updated SVN to 1.9.6 (Daniel Reimer)
– Updated options to give the user a way to select how to handle the system path var (Daniel Reimer)
– Fixed Bugs:
ROSBE-97: RosBE.cmd should not use %PATH% (DopefishJustin)
ROSBE-112: RosBE 2.1.4 i386 contains x64 executable for ninja (breaks compatibility to x86 hostOSes) (reactosfanboy)

/me welcomes HTTPS Support

by on Aug.31, 2015, under General

Recent 1blu provider hackings and my site suddently disappearing forced me to some thinking about security. So I decided it is about time to add some https to my site. From today you can access http://www.dreimer.de from HTTPS Link, too and not just that… It’s secure like hell. ^^ SSL Labs proves it! I decided to make https default too. So from now on, even if you hop on the blog from http… the first click on something in there will switch you to https.
