You can't use -l with a full path, but you can simply specify the
full path of the library:
gcc -o demo1 demo1.C /usr/local/plan9/lib/libthread.a
Note that the order of the objects on the command-line is as usual

[9fans] ramfs question

[kix]

Hi,

I am reading the lib9p/ramfs.c file and I can't understand this (in threadmain):

+ Qid q;
+ ...
+ q = fs.tree->root->dir.qid;

Because *q* is not longer used.

Why *q* is defined and assigned?

Thanks

[9fans] mount problem in p9p

[kix]

Hi!

I am writing an small fs with linux and plan9ports. I have some problems :-(

1. When the fs does: threadpostmountsrv(&fs, nil, mtpt, MREPL|MCREATE), the 
application fails. The problem is the mtpt directory does not exists. Then I 
need to do mkdir(mtpt, MKDIR_MODE); and then threadpostmountsrv(...). Why? I 
set the MCREATE.

2. When the fs creates the directory then I can enter and do a ls command. All 
is fine. But If I use createfile(fs->root, name, user, DMDIR|MKDIR_MODE, nil), 
then when I do a ls I get: "Numerical result out of range". Using chatty, I can 
see: "ename cannot clone open fid"

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

kix.

In PERL, for example, you can do something like:

^a$

where ^ is start of line
and $ end of line.

For example, for lines with 8 characters and the ? operator:

^$

[9fans] Kernel Compiling Problem

[Rodolfo kix Garci­a]

Hi,

The last week I downloaded the plan9.iso.bz file from the sources. Then 
I installed it in a vmware machine, perfect.


Then, I pulled and I tryed to compile the pccpuf kernel (with glenda). I 
got a problem.


First time:

term% mk 'CONF=pccpuf'
8a $AFLAGS l.s
mk: don't know how to make '/386/bin/fossil/fossil' in directory 
/sys/src/9/pc

term%

Second time:

term% mk 'CONF=pccpuf'
8a $AFLAGS plan9l.s
mk: don't know how to make '/386/bin/fossil/fossil' in directory 
/sys/src/9/pc

term%

Third time:

term% mk 'CONF=pccpuf'
8c -FVw cga.c
mk: don't know how to make '/386/bin/fossil/fossil' in directory 
/sys/src/9/pc

term%

Every time, the same error but with "the next" file to compile.

Yesterday, I tryed it with a new plan9.iso CD (the latest) and qemu. I 
got the same problem.


I leave the qemu's image at http://www.kix.es/files/plan9/P9-try.rar 
(with the windows binaries and the linux launcher)


Anybody can check the qemu's image or try to do a new installation with 
the plan9.iso?


Thanks

kix

Re: [9fans] Kernel Compiling Problem

> I'm assuming /386/bin/fossil/fossil does not, in fact, exist.


The file exists:

term% ls -l /386/bin/fossil/fossil
--rwxrwxr-x M 8 sys sys 366315 Dec 31  1969 /386/bin/fossil/fossil
term%

I am getting the same problem with or without setting NPROC=1

Yes!? Here is the problem:

If I compiled fossil and now, doing the mk with pccpuf, show me an error
with libip.a :-?
Then, I compiled libip.a and now the kernel is compiling ok.

The real problem is this is the official plan9.iso CD, with the default
installation, then other people will have the same problem.

Hi,

yes, December 1969 is the date of this file. The file _fossil has the same
time.

In the plan9.iso the date for /386/bin/fossil/fossil is Feb 29 2008.

The size is equal in the plan9 installation and the plan9.iso, 336315 bytes

Re: [9fans] Kernel Compiling Problem

[Rodolfo kix Garci­a]

I don't run pull in this default installation, then the install CD do 
not write this value.


I got the same problem with two different CD images, three days ago and 
one week ago, installing them in vmware and qemu virtual machines.


Thanks Richard

The '0' is what replica/applylog wrote as the file modification time -
clearly the wrong thing to do.  I don't understand this, because as
far as I can see the mtime should be taken from the actual mtime of
the file being copied from the CD (install) or sources (pull).


  

Re: [9fans] Installing Plan 9 on a ICH9 SATA controller.

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Has you try to put the sata controller in legacy pata or something like? 
I had the same problem with my Linux and I changed to pata and all works 
fine. The AHCI mode do not run with me.

Hi,

I've tried to install Plan 9 on my new computer and I'm having trouble 
with the SATA controller.


If I have AHCI mode enabled in BIOS:
- Booting the install CD only gets to:
   PBS1...Bad format or I/O error

- Booting using a floppy:
   9load seems to load fine, and it even detects the SATA controller 
printing

   sdiahci: drive 0 in state ready after 0 resets
   (it does the same for drive 1, wich should be the DVD drive).

But it only lists fd0 as valid boot source.

Following advice from people in #plan9 I disabled AHCI mode and went 
for legacy mode:
- Install CD booted fine. I could even partition the hard disk. But it 
can't copy files as it begins throwing lots of I/O errrors while 
copying files. I tried with DMA enabled and disabled.


I switched back to AHCI mode and tried booting the floppy again. Now 
it shows fd0 and sdE0!9fat as boot devices (9fat partiton is empty, so 
I can't boot). It seems in AHCI mode it can access hard disk just 
fine, but it can't access the DVD drive.


Both hard disk and DVD drive are connected via SATA to the ICH9 
controller.


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Armando.

Re: [9fans] P9p's mount(1) on linux

[Rodolfo kix García]

In my opinion,

the Uriel patch is better. If you check for the words "9p(2000)" and
"fuse" (without spaces, end of line, start of line, or other things)
probably the patch will be "kernel independent"

The "lsmod" output format can change in new releases too.

Hi Armando,

in any case, you can edit the plan9.ini:

If you are in console, you can edit it using "ed". The first time is not
very easy, but only the first time ...

If you are in rio (user glenda), you can edit doing:

Hit enter, because the window on the top is selected. You can try with ed
too.

[9fans] VMware Server 2.0 Video Chipset

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Hi!

I am trying to boot a new installation of Plan9 in a VMware Server 2.0. 
All is fine (installation under textonly) but I can´t get rio.


I get this on the console:

aux/vga: vgactlw: linear 0x800 0x0: unknown vmware id 0740
rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer.

Then, I try this:

1. Edit plan9.ini and change monitor=vesa: Plan9 boot stops before rio 
starts (hanged)
2. Edit /lib/vgadb and add a new vmware card, with the new id (0x0740) 
and recompile the pcf kernel with the options of vmware1(kernel 1) and 
vmware2 (kernel 2) id's. Copy the kernels to 9fat partition and boot 
with them. Both kernel stops before rio starts (hanged)


Any help?

[9fans] Mouse jumps in vmware

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Hi!

I use acme in vmware (windows) with two different virtual machines, a 
Plan9 virtual machine and Linux+p9p virtual machine. The problem is the 
same.


When I make r-click in acme (to search, or open a file), and the mouse 
jumps to other place in the screen and vmware lost the mouse reference. 
This is probably because the mouse is not moved, only the pointer on the 
screen is drawed. Then I have problems moving it, the mouse is slow in 
some places of the screen, ...


Is possible that acme sends to vmware (or the real os) something like 
"move left, move left, ... move up, move up, ..." to the new position? 
Then the relation between the real mouse pointer (vmware) and the 
virtual mouse pointer (plan9 or linux+x11+p9p) will be equal and then we 
will not have this problems.


Yes, I know, the problem is vmware :-)

Re: [9fans] Mouse jumps in vmware

Hi Lucio,

I am happy with vmware. Is very good environment for my plan9, because

No, the problem is _not_ vmware.  At least to the extent that vmware
is just another hardware model.  The only really unfortunate thing
about vmware is that they are holding a few cards close to their chest
with a view to making a bit of a profit.  It may not be to one's
greatest advantage, but it seems legitimate to me and above the of
criticism levelled in the above.

++L

PS: I'm a contented small time user of vmware's ESX Server 3i.  All
the products from vmware (not many, I must confess) I have had
occasion to use and in keeping with impressions gained while
monitoring dicussions on the Xen developers' mailing list, convince me
that vmware strive for professionalism, understandably within the
limits set by the marketplace.  It's my personal opinion that none of
the equivalent tools available today are in the same league, so I
can't resist defending what I consider to be the market leader; feel
free to correct me (privately, preferably).

In other thread (probably long) ... we need think about to support any 
emulated software. We are not many people and write drivers is a hard 
work. I am not sure what is the rate of 9fans using real/emulated hardware.

No offence intended or taken, I just thought that vmware generally get
an undeservedly bad rap on this list :-)

Re: [9fans] MacOS X drawterm doesn't toggle

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Uriel,

IMO drawterm is very good tool. I use it in my computer and in others, 
installation is not needed, not admin privilegies, ...


Saludos.

Why not forget drawterm and use 9vx or inferno instead of wasting more
efforts on a dead end project?

Re: [9fans] Mouse jumps in vmware

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Ummm,

I am not sure if the problem is vmware-tools, probably not (and Plan 9 
is not the problem too).


I am using linux + plan9port + acme and I get the same problem ...

I am confused... BSOD @ me

Russ, is this the right API?

Hi,

you can use: http://www.kix.in/plan9/mirror/sources/ or

Aha! I now remember seeing that one. But since its been
more than 2 weeks -- I guess the question is, whether
web interface to sources has any chance of recovering.

Thanks,

[9fans] 9P in C++

[Rodolfo kix García]

Hi!

I am working in an c++ application on linux and I would like to use a
filesystem to access to the application data.

Somebody knows any 9P implementation of 9P in C++?

Thanks,

Saludos, kix.

Given

you can link 9p into a C++ program easily.


Thanks Pietro :-)

I use:

#include stdio.h
#include blablabla.h
extern void threadmain(int c, char *a[])

Now the file compiles. But I have other problem.

gcc -L. -ltry -o demo1 demo1.C
./libtry.so: Undefined reference to threadmain(...)

Then, I try:
gcc -L /usr/local/plan9/lib -L. -ltry -lthread demo1.C -o demo1  ## OK!
./demo1
Segmentation Fault

using ldd I can see libthread is /usr/lib/libthread, not in the 
plan9port three.


Any help?

Thanks a lot.

Yes!

If I use the extern "C" it compiles :'-)

Using "extern function" is not valid for linking C and C++

Sorry Pietro, sqweek. Thanks a lot.

Re: [9fans] This is classic.

Ron,

probably is something like this:

For no reason that I can see I am now getting this message via a dialogue box:

Then a little box I can tick for more data.

Here's where it really gets good:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this
message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file
(rejected message had interface
"org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "Cancel" error name
"(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit")

Neat. Lots of this. So. just WTF could this all mean? It means dbus hell.

It's amazing to think of the amount of labor that could produce
something like this. And people claim Plan 9 is obscure?

Re: [9fans] sendfd() on native Plan 9?

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Nathaniel,

I am not 100% sure if my answer will solve your problem, but probably 
you can do it using the 9P protocol.


Look http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/5/0intro, 9P is the way 
to comunicate the kernel with the proccess. Probably sendfd is not 
needed in Plan 9.


Saludos.

Re: [9fans] SYSTOR 2009---The Israeli Experimental Systems

If I remember, when you visit Israel, they put an additional paper in your
passport. This paper is removed when you leave the country. Then ... your
passport do not have any stamp of Israel ... and you will not have
problems visit other countries.

Saludos,

Anyone have any pointers to a diff for C code.

I have two libraries, A and B.

What I think I need is a program which parses C and will
do diffs at the level of functions, globals , #defines and enums.

it would ideally have two input files and generate two outputs
one output being the common code, one with the extensions on the 
common.


I don't expect this to be fully automated, there is going to be a

of hand edition before I am done, but is there somthing which can do
the easy stuff for me?

Why don't use a C preprocessor to do that?
You can have one file with ifdefs, and print the two files using an 
argument


Example:

#ifdef LIBA
#include 
#else
#include 
#endif

and run

"cpp -DLIBA ..." and
"cpp -ULIBA ..." or "cpp ..."
