@invalidname @Gte @bigzaphod Yah, I had one install of BeOS, and later Haiku, but even doing C, I don't do C++, which all the APIs are in. Actual BeOS didn't have a lot of other tools I needed. If they'd shipped more tools to make tools with I'd've been more into it.
#beos #haikuos
I always marvel at the way #HaikuOS in a Qemu VM boots up faster than some native apps running on bare metal can start.
Outstanding update on Iaito, due to some missers from my side this went wrong on previous version, once the issue was sorted out things got back on par.
radare2/r2dec_js/r2ghidra and Iaito all updated for 32bit and 64bit, on riscv64 Iaito fails to build due to an issue with llvm12. Enjoy :)
radare2-6.0.4
r2dec_js-6.0.0
r2ghidra-6.0.2
iaito-6.0.4
Mixxx 2.5.3 coming up on Haiku 64bit, we're in the process of finetuning the recipe, but so far things are pretty good.

After updating FLTK a while ago, our port for LMMS was broken, so we had to re-instate the old library just for that. Now pulling latest(*) commit for LMMS and the sub-packages is on it's way to be updated, dropping the old FLTK library.
Looking good I think :)
Gear25 updated (locally) to 25.08.1, some of the not released packages to the main public for Haiku are, Lokalize, KTurtle, Calindori and Koko, these suffer from some KIO issue which require (don't ask me why) their counterpart for KF5 to be launched first before they are fully functional.
Still nice to see them working fine on Haiku!
Local counter for build packages (only gear25) stand at 198 now.
Artikulate, a "Personal Pronunciation Trainer" from KDE, a small app I've been fiddling with since KF5, but upon checking 25.08.1 and fine-tuning the recipe to build it, I can now at least playback the tutorial. :)
Not included in haikuports depot for the obvious reason, but still good to see the progress already.
CudaText for Haiku updated to 1.227.0.0, a good thing upstream developer is poking me now and then to check up on doing a new release for Haiku.
Since yesterday available for 64bit and 32bit.

I don’t usually promote personal projects here, but I’ll give it a try.
Meet Tocaia, a minimalist, cross-platform TUI Gopher client written in C89 for POSIX systems.
It even supports Haiku.
Pull requests and bug reports are welcome! =)

So tonight, I was looking for something in a drawer, and I stumble upon my Samsung NC10 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_NC10), a netbook that I bought while studying.
I totally forgot what I was looking for, and instead, I decided to check this old piece of equipment, that is now 16 or 17 years old!
It was installed with some old and unmaintained #Fedora with a dual boot #haikuos installation.
I wiped the disk, and installed #mxlinux . I had to manually create the partitions because the installer would fail to automatically partition the disk.
After that step, the installation went smoothly. Did a system update after first boot, and oh boy, did the two DKMS packages took ages to compile. So after the update was done, and before rebooting, I uninstalled broadcom-sta-dkms and rtl8812au-dkms, because there is no hardware requiring these modules in the netbook.
So this little netbook is still functional, but I must admit, I don’t really know what to do with it:
* the screen resolution of 1024x600 is really on the low end,
* the 2 cores, 32 bits, Atom CPU is really not that fast.
It looks like the Pentium 4 PC I was using before has disk trouble, so I now hooked up my trusty Dell Dimension Pentium III 800 MHz with 128 MB of RAM. It has Windows 95, 2000 and OpenBSD installed.
Windows 2000 is perfect for this machine. Makes for a good Visual C++ 6 station.
OpenBSD was at 6.6 from 2019 (!). But that's the version introducing sysupgrade so after finding a mirror which still has 6.7 and such it's a matter of just typing 'doas sysupgrade' a bunch of times and letting it do its thing. At 7.2 now, almost there.
I'll try #HaikuOS too!
