Dispite lfroen's denial of our existance, a version of amule for OS/2 has been released.

It can be found here: http://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?dir=/pub/incoming&sort=date

It will likely be moved here:

http://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=/pub/java/apps/internet/misc

Currently it uses the amule Daemon with amulecmd or amuleweb for user interfaces.

I would ask the moderators to move this thread into the aMule News section and it would be nice to create an OS/2 forum in the Multiplatform area.

OS/2 DOESN'T EXIST!


You'll have to give me more details. version, is it patched or not, which patches if needed, etc ,etc-

Dispite lfroen's denial of our existance

I aware that many kinds of strange things do exists. For example, some people believe, that OS/2 exists, while other people:

OS/2 DOESN'T EXIST!

obviously don't. Many elders believes, that OS/2 was only myth, while some claims that actually saw it running. By now, it remains unclear whether "OS/2 myth" is based on some real events or it was only tale based on inability to interpret nature forces scientifically.

Believe it or not, but OS/2 is even sold these days with recent versions of Java, Firefox, OpenOffice.org etc.:

Rumours say that there are still 500000 workstations in use, mainly in banks and insurances. These people will of course need an ED2K client.

It's especally popular for ATM machines:

If it's possible to play games on ATM machines, why not use an ED2K client?

Excelent idea: now I will see following options on my ATM -

1. Withdraw $100
2. Check your balance
3. See my download queue

That would be cool.

Hello,

I confirm that Os2 exists, but if you don't trust me you can verify by yourself downloading a live Os2 demo CD from:

http://www.ecomstation.com/democd/

Come on, it is less than one hundred Mb ;-)

[emule_os2]

The OS/2 version is based on 2.0.3. I had to make some small changes to the source code, but things aren't clean enough to give you a patch to include in CVS. The source code has been released if you really want to look at it.

If you are getting an access violation in amuled after a minute or two of running it, try reducing Max. Connections to say, 40. This can be done from the preferances page in amuleweb. It doesn't seem to be a problem if you are downloading unpopular files.

It seems that the OS/2 implementation of select() can't handle too many connections.

[Kry]

I am of course not going to make public advertising of support of some version with changes on the sorucecode that are obscure to me, so please do that patch and we're cool.

Keep in mind we try to support as much as we can, but if you have a 2.0.3 patched, we need to do that changes to CVS, mainly because we're about to release 2.1.0 which would be stupid to release without support for OS/2 if 2.0.3 has it.

[emule_os2]

I understand what you are saying. I want to sort out the patches that are needed for wx Widgets for OS/2, then I'll setup a proper patch for amule. What I've done is all very quick and dirty -- release early and release often. Don't let me hold you back on 2.1.0.

Until then you can think about how to make room on the amule logo for another OS.

It seems that the OS/2 implementation of select() can't handle too many connections.

It may suffer from same stupidity as BSD one. http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?select++NetBSD-current

I was very happy to see a P2P-client for OS/2 - finally.   Great job, emule_os2!  :baby:

Not sure what happened, after the first configuration steps there was a crash after DLing a SERVER.MET while trying to read it? After that amuled and amuleweb locked themselves so hard, I couln't stop (nor kill) them anymore, needed to reboot. :-/

Well, right now I'm connected to RAZORBACK2 with a HighID, everythings looks fine - but HOW do I add shared directories (especially those on other drives than amule is installed)?

From the browser, i can only refresh the current list but can't change anything.
Editing shareddir.dat was to no avail, on start I see the following:

Code: [Select]

2005-12-26 10:27:57: Found 0 known shared files

2005-12-26 10:27:57: AICH Thread: No new files found.After stopping amuled, shareddir.dat is EMPTY again!  X(

The README tells, the path "\amule" is hardcoded - does this affect shared files, too??? Of course my data files are spread over some drives, I can't (won't!) copy them below \amule...

[stefanero]

stop amule and then edit the file, add your paths,  and restart amule

that shoudl fix it...

[Borsti67]

Hi stefanero,

sorry but: no, it doesn't.  ;(
May be there is  special syntax I haven't found yet?
I already tried:
T:\FILES
T:\FILES\
T:\\FILES
T:\\FILES\\
T:/FILES
T://FILES
T:/FILES/
T://FILES//

what else could it be?  ?(

update 1:

dammit, amuled crashed again:

Code: [Select]

..and again, I can't stop amuleweb:  X(

Code: [Select]

exit

Ok, exiting aMuleweb...
WSThread: Waiting for WCThreads to be terminated...

update 2:
I was able to restart amuled twice, but after that last SIGSEGV the task hangs, too. Normally I was back to the command shell after crash and PDUMP, but no longer. So I will have to reboot again... :-/
