• Hpt os2

    From Rick Smith@1:105/10.1 to All on Sat Feb 20 21:17:42 2021
    Greetings All!

    Like Michael I am also trying to get this to work on arca.. We have got it to build, run without error ie hpt toss pack scan all run without error. However hpt toss does not toss the inb packs ie .sa0 for today they just remain there, and no errors given. In fact the toss output looks normal it just isnt tossing any packets. Is there anyone here actually running hpt on os2 where we could compare setups...?

    thats with a couple of fresh packets sitting in inb?

    So I am not sure what to try, I have built this many times in linux of course without issue.. Not sure where to turn next, I did notice yours is hpt-emx while ours is hpt-wc which I am we built -wc because -emx didnt work correctly with .jam?

    What if you manually unzip the arcmail bundles?

    Are you sure they are zips? :)

    Seems ok, however I don't have watcom installed (yet).

    I can test your watcom exes if you want, just send them to 2:221/360.

    These got me the closest yet... it essentially works with the some path tweaking, however the jam is still a little screwy which I just heard from andrew was just updated a couple hours ago.. Who is building these pre-builts? Will that person build a new set with the updated fix for jam? Because I think that will do it...

    On 2021-02-14 15:10:28 UTC there was a change to the code that accidentally broke JAM on all systems, not just EMX.

    A fix was committed to the huskyproject repo (smapi module) two hours
    ago.

    Glad to hear, I have it just about working except the jam is a little off with headers missing and such, maybe someone will make updated prebuilts with this fix that would be great...

    The failing code that I removed was only relevant to 16-bit OS/2 1.x, which Husky has never supported anyway.

    just re-built hpt, and as of right now, it looks like everything is now working as it should, no errors, no missing headers.. everything so far so good

    Thank you for your hard work getting it fixed
