Hi! I'm using Ubuntu Linux 14 and I'm having trouble building ReactOS from the source code. I managed to install the build environment without problems but when I try to build the sources I get a build error : [ 3%] Building C object boot/freeldr/freeldr/CMakeFiles/freeldr_common.dir/cmdline.c.obj c...

Don't worry, I found the problematic module. It was actually a change on a DLL.

Hey, I'm near implementing NtLoadKey, NtUnloadKey and NtSaveKey. The only serious problem I have is that I'm not sure about the MS Registry Binary File Format. Does anyone of you know anything about that?

I've been up to this problem for the past two hours and I don't seem to be able to fix it. It always happens after installation, just before the GUI and that setup wizard start. NTOSKRNL.EXE seems to work just fine as the progress bar goes till the end. So here is the screenshot: http://i48.tinypic....

Hey, I know it's an inactive topic but my suggestion would be to develop, not a Metro UI to replace the standard Windowed GUI but a Metro subsystem that would allow metro apps to run in a window as it seems like the Metro UI gets many developers to develop apps for it.

If that's what you mean, no, ReactOS does not yet feature full compatibility with any version of Windows NT. But it can run many Windows programs and eventually it will be compatible with a specific version of Windows.

It's great that you want to start developing for the ReactOS project. Thus, I 've compiled a list of the basic things you should be aware of: 1. ReactOS uses the PE executable format (.exe) and not the ELF-i386 that is used in UNIX-based systems (as far as I know). 2. Most DLL's contain API function...

Hi everyone. I'm porting a Direct3D 9 C++ application to ReactOS. I'd like to know how I can use d3dx9.h components cause when I include the file I get an error about undefined max variable. Here it is: Undefined variable 'max' My C++ code is this: #include <windows.h> #include <windowsx.h> #include...

The best approach to such problems is to delete your local source copy and synchronize a new one with the ReactOS SVN Server.

I've read on the wiki, that most of the devs use MSVC++ Express Edition. But what about resource editing? If I try to open a resource file with MSVC++ I get a bunch of errors. Most of them are because of the directory structure of the resource files. I also tried ResEdit but it didn't work either. S...

Thanks hto, that works!

Hi, I'm trying to change the default ReactOS colors. I found out that the file containing the colors is \boot\bootdata\hivedef_i386.inf. But in the file, the colors are in an indexed hexadecimal format, and I've no idea, about what is every color and how do I convert the colors to the proper hex val...

Thanks for your help. Is Mesa3D slower than OpenGL?
Also, as I posted on my previous thread,
can someone tell me where can I find documentation of the ReactOS window manager,
or the Windows NT windows API architecture?

Hi! I am interested in developing a user32 (reactos/win32ss/user/user32/) version, that would be based on DirectX (/reactos/win32ss/reactx/) instead of GDI. So, I would like a diagram, or a flowchart, or something that could explain quickly, how are windows drawn and what functions are invloved. Als...

I agree with Geri and I think that he should first port it to ReactOS, give the binary to the community to try it out, and then, if it's good, he and the ROS community could come in an agreement about the sources. Probably, he could give the sources to the community, but in a custom license that wou...
