scanty yep, installed that one also :) I am populating my 64bit partition with my fav games
<AlienSoldier>
btw, my super famicom is installed and running!
<AlienSoldier>
no i need to get a LOT of translation and performance enhanced roms
<AlienSoldier>
*now
<AlienSoldier>
i just gave a glimpse to the MAC games to put on my "new" intel mac and i should not get into that yet :) (too many). I am tempted by dark castle 3 that said.
<AlienSoldier>
i will have to educate myself on the best exclusive
<scanty>
AlienSoldier: sounds good :-). I finally found a transformer for my NES

can it run super NES games as well with modification?
<AlienSoldier>
scanty i have a fx pack pro for it
<AlienSoldier>
it can run all and gameboy and game boy collor
<AlienSoldier>
did not test that so far that said
<cassettehead>
hey i been away from haiki for a while i have a use case for haiku! i was just wondering
<cassettehead>
whats with kde?
<cassettehead>
are you moving the ui to kde?
<AlienSoldier>
their is a "wrapper" now
<AlienSoldier>
*there
<cassettehead>
to use kde apps on haiku?
<AlienSoldier>
yes, after a recompile of course and some adaptation
<cassettehead>
strange, i never saw that coming
<AlienSoldier>
like QT
<cassettehead>
very interesting too actually
<AlienSoldier>
who know perhaps one will exist for AOS at one point :)
<AlienSoldier>
*AROS
<cassettehead>
ill probably port the application native to haiki
<cassettehead>
winters get cold here in the uk
<cassettehead>
lot of my activities usually outside during warmer months so lots of time!
<cassettehead>
be super useful for me to have this on a old laptop with a minimal os
<AlienSoldier>
interesting. I remember seeing a slicer app at one point. I still have CNC on my futur hobbie list!
<cassettehead>
i got my cnc for like $25 pure luck at right place right time
<cassettehead>
only a tiny one with a audio cassette tape area
<cassettehead>
approx 100mm 100mm i think
<cassettehead>
haiku is a ideal candidate. for my cnc in the workshop
<cassettehead>
is there any road maps or explanations for the source tree? i am very familiar with a *nix system tree and what i am looking at with haiku is very very confusing
<AlienSoldier>
can still do nice part at that size
<|cos|>
bitigchi[m]: upstream tends to want things to be tested elsewhere, is my understanding. i reckon letting the patch pass through haikuports is the most reasonable path to validate/stabilize?

<Begasus[m]>
we can merge this, and if it's fine (which it should) upstreaming would be nice
<Begasus[m]>
I'll wait a bit for others in the team to respond if needed
<|cos|>
wonderful! i'll go on with the upstreaming after a few weeks. or maybe a couple of months? it's hard to know how soon it can be considered to have gotten sufficient testing.

hello all! i'm a new user setting up haiku on my system. i was wondering if there's a way to change the appearance or size of the mouse cursor - i have trouble seeing the small white cursor on the light background of most programs! sorry if this is the wrong channel for this kind of question, i'd be happy to move elsewhere if so.
<absynth>
i wouldn't mind a way to either make the cursor larger or use a dark colored cursor

hello
<phschafft>
all good?
<absynth>
yes,` i'm doing well. i hopped in earlier with a question about changing the color or size of the mouse cursor for contrast
<sqz[m]>
Not sure where it can be accessed in the UI
<phschafft>
I think others are better for helping you with that. I'm just here for the cookies.
<absynth>
sqz[m]: thanks for the pointer, i'll look into it.
<absynth>
not a direct answer to my question, but i found shard's little program "WhereIsMyMouse" in the haikuports, and it'll work well enough for me!

I dont think i want to use it as a daily driver just yet though
<kat67>
i have it running off a usb stick
<Begasus[m]>
glad you like it so far kat67
<kat67>
i do im also some what temped now since web browsers like floorp are ported to it
<Begasus[m]>
I think for most common used applications we're good on Haiku these days :)
<kat67>
when i first started with this os my main complain was there was modern web brower for it at the time
<kat67>
and i seee
<kat67>
:]
<Begasus[m]>
that has been a pain for years yes, WebPositive is mostly fine for "our" needs, but the regular user needs more then that :)
<kat67>
I also like how this os is sorta not linux
<kat67>
it has its own kernal i think
* Begasus[m]
ducks :)
<Begasus[m]>
mostly involved in KDE stuff for Haiku lately :)
<kat67>
cool
<Begasus[m]>
yeah, own kernel (but that's out of my skills) :)
<kat67>
oh i see now it uses the NewOS kernel
<Begasus[m]>
exiv2 needs an update it seems
kat67 has quit [Quit: Vision[]: i've been blurred!]

right, didn't work last time also :/ /sources/exiv2-0.28.5/src/futils.cpp:392:12: error: 'path' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'std::filesystem::path'?
<Begasus[m]>
k, need something for this :) auto path = fs::read_symlink("/proc/self/exe");
<Halian>

build finishes, but I fear it's not the right solution :D
<scanty>
Begasus[m]: let's see some more code around it, so we can figure out what it is doing.
<Begasus[m]>
Warning: POLICY WARNING: "/packaging/exiv2/lib/libexiv2.so.0.28.0" needs library "libbrotlidec.so.1", but the package doesn't seem to declare that as a requirement
<Begasus[m]>
why does this doesn't have a libVersionCompat!! :/
<scanty>
not sure how unix handles auto path = fs::read_symlink("/proc/self/exe"); and not sure hoiw haiku does it
<jmairboeck>
Begasus[m]: you need to use get_next_image_info for this to get the path of the B_APP_IMAGE, I think there are some patches in haikuports already for this
<scanty>
hooray!
<jmairboeck>
/proc/self/exe is the Linux way to do that
<Begasus[m]>
hence I mentioned it would be wrong :)
<scanty>
yeah, i was going to suggest that you miight have to write some code, but there it is.
<Begasus[m]>
jmairboeck the bugdom patch could work?
<jmairboeck>
yes, that looks good
<Begasus[m]>
guess executablePath needs to be changed to path?
<Begasus[m]>
if only .... :P
oZ] is now known as oZ
oZ is now known as oZ]
<jmairboeck>
Begasus[m]: I think you can use auto path = fs::path(info.name);
<jmairboeck>
after the while loop
n005 has joined #haiku
<Begasus[m]>
conflicting types and an error on parent_path :/
<Begasus[m]>
I'm no good here :(
<jmairboeck>
you don't need the path variable before
<jmairboeck>
and the assignment inside the if can be skipped
