Re: [Freedos-devel] Announcing FDOSTUI

Hi Folks,

As suggested, I implemented an INI parser (read only):

http://www.nongnu.org/fdostui/ini_8h.html

Following, themeing was fairly straight forward:

Thank you all for your previous suggestions. I look forward to your
comments. Have a great day.

Regards,
Mark

I appreciate that and will update via the forum when I have an INI/Config
implementation. Thanks for the tweet.

Sounds cool!

I've tweeted your project from the FreeDOS Project twitter. Once
you've added the INI support, I'd be happy to mention it as a news

Your right about that. Thanks.

I am looking into building an INI library (public domain). It's tempting to
just rip something off the shelf for this.

I believe that changing a config file is just great for that! Avoinding 
bloat is important


At most, there could be 2 or 3 sets of parameters, not only that would 
help but it can also serve as aguide for creating a new one

Disclaimer: due to lack of C++ expertise, I may not do much
with this.
Nevertheless, here's some comments anyways (BTW, nice work so
far):

* Why bother with response file for simple uses of WLINK? Why
not just
use, e.g. "wlink op stack=4096 ...", etc.?

* Compiling hello.cpp should normally output hello.exe, so
explicitly
using "-fe=" is redundant.

* "-bt=DOS -l=DOS" is also redundant, use "-bcl" instead.

* "ncurses compiling" says you're using "cpp" (C
preprocessor), which
can't be right. I assume "g++" here (or "gpp" for DJGPP).

Re: [Freedos-devel] Announcing FDOSTUI

2017-02-02 Thread Mark Olesen 
INI has my upvote. Just not sure of how much scope I would include.

what if you want a class that can be used to read and write to it
(maintaining comments and such)? Complexity is added. I can see code creep.

If it was read only it would be fairly simple and inexpensive. However,
then other code would be scattered throughout to write out there own ini
files.

XML is easy to read/write and is extensible. However, it has allot of
bloat. And user editing is not as straight forward as INI.

After some reading, I dropped JSON as a potential format.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Skinning at the moment can only be done by modifying code (skin.c). I left
it out because I do not know the best method of providing a decent
configuration file without adding allot of code bloat. FLTK has a
preferences widget (Fl_Preferences), which is a candidate. XML, JSON
formats are other things to consider. I really don't know the direction to
take for it. Suggestions are welcome.

Disclaimer: due to lack of C++ expertise, I may not do much with this.
Nevertheless, here's some comments anyways (BTW, nice work so far):

* Why bother with response file for simple uses of WLINK? Why not just
use, e.g. "wlink op stack=4096 ...", etc.?

* Compiling hello.cpp should normally output hello.exe, so explicitly
using "-fe=" is redundant.

* "-bt=DOS -l=DOS" is also redundant, use "-bcl" instead.

* "ncurses compiling" says you're using "cpp" (C preprocessor), which
can't be right. I assume "g++" here (or "gpp" for DJGPP).
