#6005 — Questions to compiling !POPStar on Titanium with DDE

I got the source code of !POPStar at

https://www.heenan.me.uk/acorn/download.html

From there I also downloaded wimpCLib and SysLog. I copied the contents
of pops205src/zip to DDE.Projects_DDE.POPStar and both !SysLog and
!WimpCLib to DDE.AcornC/C++

After double clicking DDE.Projects_DDE.POPStar!MakeApp32 I get here

| Link -aif  -o <MakeApp$Dir>.^.!POPstar.!RunIm32 base64.o bufsock.o
| config.o CRstring.o dkm.o err.o errlist.o   ftrunc.o log.o popstar.o

|
| AMU: *** exit (1) ***
|
| AMU: *** '<MakeApp$Dir>.^.!POPstar.!RunIm32' not re-made because of

In DDE.CornC/C++.!SysLoc.C-veneer.o there is no file with name syslog32.
From where do I get this file?

Also, DDE.Projects_DDE.POPStar.HowTo says

| Requires my wimpclib, NetLib or socketlib, and SysLog.

Where do I find NetLib / socketlib?

Thanks in advance!

In the DDE these should be found at
  TCPIPLibs:o.socklib
  TCPIPLibs:o.inetlib

in the above link command is looks like POPstarTCP has been set up to be the directory path TCPIPLibs:o. <-- the trailing dot is important!

It's in !Boot.resources.!Syslog with the C-veener

In DDE Makefiles.Applibs

SOCK4LIB  = TCPIPLibs:o.socklib
SOCK5LIB  = TCPIPLibs:o.socklib5
INETLIB   = TCPIPLibs:o.inetlib

you also need to recompile wimpclib...

Merci beaucoup. Ca avec syslog32 marche maintenant.

Trying recompile wimpclib I get here:

To test the DDE, I compiled a full version of !PopStar: wimplib and postar 
itself.
DDE is a fine tool.
So I can help you.

WimpC
I needed to modify files with #include
Here is the makefile to build Wimpc
# Makefile for wimpc library

COMPONENT  = wimplib32
#TARGET     = !RunImage
OBJS       = centrewin createicon createmenu delicon\
             dnslib getictext icfade icselect icselected loadtemp \
             menufade menufadea menuflag menuheight menuread menuupdate\
             opensize openwin openwincen setextent setictext setinfover \
             settitle taskpres urlrecv urlsend

CINCLUDES     = -IC:,TCPIPLibs:,Tbox:
LIBS          =  ${TBOXLibs} ${NET4LIBS}

include CLibrary

C_WARNINGS = -fa -Wp

clean_all:: clean
        ${WIPE} ${INSTAPP} ${WFLAGS}


And the line in the command file Mk which does the job
    amu all_libs THROWBACK=-throwback

Merci beaucoup pour m'aider. J'ai seulement le problème que je ne
comprends pas que je dois faire. Jamais j'ai travaillé avec Make. Mais
je crois à comprende maintenant qu'il faut faire un bibliothèque
(librarie). C'est quelque chose que je n'ai jamais fait aussi, ne pas
apprendre. J'essaie à comprendre, à apprendre et peut-etre qu'il faut
quelque temps pour arriver ça.

Merci pour la réponse en Français.
But I will continue in English (fair, corrections are welcome), this can 
be useful for everyone.

The best way to use DDE is to test the examples provided with the 
application.
There is a directory called Skeletons in which the examples are prepared 
correctly with a recommended directory architecture (also used with the 
RISC OS construction tool)
   -  directories c, h
   - a text file Makefile and 3 TaskObey files.
All is ready just clic on MK
Nice.
Take a look at the Makefile from example Application, it is the most 
documented.
In the AcornC / C ++ directory there is a directory named Makefiles. It 
does the jobs for us.

When the AcornC / C ++ directory is opened, the library paths are 
initialized and therefore usable by DDE.

>Mais je crois à comprende maintenant qu'il faut faire un bibliothèque
> (librarie).
Yes, the Popstar application needs this library (wimpc) to compile. (it's 
old but it works, I use OsLib, more up to date)
The example to test is in Skeletons.examplelib: Makefile and Mk are are 
specific.


Here to learn, I admit that it lacks a manual to get started with DDE.
It's a shame because it is very efficient in compilation time and in code 
size.

Note:
If you wish to do the tests with the example directories, you can test a 
small tool that I use with the DDE:  !DIDEROT
Launch the application! Diderot and drag and drop one of the example 
workbooks. you get a tree view and command buttons.
Please note, this is not a Filer's directory. You can open files but you 
cannot delete them. Tree icons respond to a single click like a control 
panel.
This makes it possible to manage the developments while respecting the 
structure established by the DDE and to gather everything in a single 
window.

To see what it looks like and download : 
https://jeanmichelb.riscos.fr/Programmes.html#DDE_tool


I must add a section on my site so that you can recover the compilation 
files for programs that I did not write.

Thanks to Webwonder
I have updated my web site :
PopStar is in item "Prog (not written bye me!)"
I have to move in this page the PSIFS  32 bits version from Alexander 
Thoukydides. Thanks to him for making the source program available, an 
excellent programming model.

Merci pour m'aider.

Compiling "your" version of WimpCLib which I found at

https://jeanmichelb.riscos.fr/Download/PopStarDDE.zip

I get the error

| AMU: command too long (must be shorter than 255 chars)
| libfile -c -o o.wimplib32 o.centrewin o.createicon o.createmenu
| o.delicon o.dnslib o.getictext o.icfade o.icselect o.icselected

| o.menuupdate o.opensize o.openwin o.openwincen o.setextent o.setictext
| o.setinfover o.settitle o.taskpres o.urlrecv o.urlsend

and I'm missing the file wimplib32 in the directory called WimpC.o

I snipped and coppied the line

| libfile -c -o o.wimplib32 o.centrewin o.createicon o.createmenu
| o.delicon o.dnslib o.getictext o.icfade o.icselect o.icselected

| o.menuupdate o.opensize o.openwin o.openwincen o.setextent o.setictext
| o.setinfover o.settitle o.taskpres o.urlrecv o.urlsend

into an obey file and doubled clicked on it. It seems to work because I
get now the file wimplib32.

Same with the Pop205 directory.

What is the reason for the error / fault?

You called it PopStarDDE.zip. Isn't the version I found here

https://www.heenan.me.uk/acorn/download.html

for DDE?

Ciao,

Yes the command line is longer than 256c but, with the amu command,
I did not have this problem, it may be from your version of DDE (DDE 28 
here)?

> You called it PopStarDDE.zip. Isn't the version I found here

I get PopStar205src and wimpc104 from the address above.

=> PopStar205src for DDE.

The result of the compilation should give the same thing as the version of 
2003, but the compiler has evolved (CC 5.77 07/30/2018)

For information:
I don't know how to use PopStar !!!
I use !NewsHound (same author) for news. Works well with Messenger.

In fact it was to test the DDE and its libraries.

I'm interested if you can make it work !PopStar ....

Where do I find the version number? There are a lot of files and
utilities comming with DDE but not one.

It was the first programme ever I used to fetch my emails. It is
similary to !Hermes but free. I always liked to improve it.

With your help I was able to compile !PopStar now. To me it is a very
complicate process. You have to set up a lot of variables before you can
compile it successfully. Also, it builds just the file !RunIm32 which is
a part of !POPStar but not all. You will find the rest when you download
the whole application

https://www.heenan.me.uk/distrib/popstar/popstr205.zip

I will study now the whole process with DDE before I try to switch
everything to GCC. The target is to join !POPStar with the
GNU-TLS-library and to improve the software not in only this way.

Type CC in a taskwindow, this is the C compiler, the version number 
changes with each version of the DDE.
Mine is 5.77 for DDE28b

If you click on MkInstall you get the complete application in the Install 
directory which is in AcornC / C ++.
This is in the Makefile file.

Now I just launched! InstTrans:
"This program will install the POPstar newsbase transport
into the !NewsDir.newsbase.transports directory."
OK
