functions private and moved them accordingly in the file. * I forgot to initialize the BObjectList to own the items in TouchpadInputDevice. * Changed the methods that read and apply settings in all three addons to be executed from the control threads only, which fixes race conditions. * The success of opening a device is no longer checked in the Start() method of the *Devices. Instead, the control thread checks the device before it enters the polling loop and cleans up if there was an error. This fixes non-running devices in the input_server because the PS/2 driver publishes devices which is has not checked yet for other reasons. It is important, however, to open() the devices in the Start() hook and not the control thread, otherwise there are unwanted race conditions in case node monitoring events are received more than once for the same device. That's the case for some reason on one of my computers for the AT 0 keyboard. TODO: * Combine the Touchpad and Mouse device addon into one, it's almost the same code except the Touchpad knows more settings and one more control message. * Refactor a common base class for Keyboard and Mouse device addon. * Fix the mouse speed/acceleration. If the speed is lowered from the default in the preflet, the mouse becomes almost unusable. To fix this, the same trick should be used as I used in the touchpad kernel driver, which is to sum up previous mouse moved fractional offsets. git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28590 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Building on BeOS ================ For building on BeOS you need the development tools from: http://haiku-os.org/downloads Please always use the most recent versions. They are required to build Haiku. Building on a non-BeOS platform =============================== Please read the file 'ReadMe.cross-compile' before continuing. It describes how to build the cross-compilation tools and configure the build system for building Haiku. After following the instructions you can directly continue with the section Building. Configuring on BeOS =================== Open a Terminal and change to your Haiku trunk folder. To configure the build you can run configure like this: ./configure --target=TARGET Where "TARGET" is the target platform that the compiled code should run on: * haiku (default) * r5 * bone * dano (also for Zeta) The configure script generates a file named "BuildConfig" in the "build" directory. As long as configure is not modified (!), there is no need to call it again. That is for re-building you only need to invoke jam (see below). If you don't update the source tree very frequently, you may want to execute 'configure' after each update just to be on the safe side. Building ======== Haiku can be built in either of two ways, as disk image file (e.g. for use with emulators) or as installation in a directory. Image File ---------- jam -q haiku-image This generates an image file named 'haiku.image' in your output directory under 'generated/'. VMware Image File ----------------- jam -q haiku-vmware-image This generates an image file named 'haiku.vmdk' in your output directory under 'generated/'. Directory Installation ---------------------- HAIKU_INSTALL_DIR=/Haiku jam -q install-haiku Installs all Haiku components into the volume mounted at "/Haiku" and automatically marks it as bootable. To create a partition in the first place use DriveSetup and initialize it to BFS. Note that installing Haiku in a directory only works as expected under BeOS, but it is not yet supported under Linux and other non-BeOS platforms. Bootable CD-ROM Image --------------------- * UNSUPPORTED yet * This _requires_ having the mkisofs tool installed. On Debian GNU/Linux for example you can install it with: apt-get install mkisofs On BeOS you can get it from http://bebits.com/app/3964 along with cdrecord. Creating a bootable CD requires burning 2 tracks on a single CD. The first track is an El-Torito bootable ISO file-system containing a boot floppy image, and is created with: jam -q haiku-boot-cd This generates an image file named 'haiku-boot-cd.iso' in your output directory under 'generated/'. The second track is the raw BFS image 'haiku.image' in 'generated/' created with: jam -q haiku-image Under Unix/Linux, and BeOS you can use cdrecord to create a CD with: cdrecord dev=x,y,z -v -eject -dao -data generated/haiku-boot-cd.iso generated/haiku.image Here x,y,z is the device number as found with cdrecord -scanbus, it can also be a device path on Linux. Windows users will find '3rdparty/nero/haiku-cd.cue' useful. Since the CD has two tracks it is not easy to test it from an emulator. Instead it is simpler to use the 'haiku.image' as CD image and the floppy image 'haiku-boot-floppy.image' to boot from it. For Qemu: qemu -cdrom generated/haiku.image -fda generated/haiku-boot-floppy.image -boot a Building Components ------------------- If you don't want to build the complete Haiku, but only a certain app/driver/etc. you can specify it as argument to jam, e.g.: jam Pulse Alternatively, you can 'cd' to the directory of the component you want to build and run 'jam' from there. You can also force rebuilding of a component by using the "-a" parameter: jam -a Pulse Running ======= Generally there are two ways of running Haiku. On real hardware using a partition and on emulated hardware using an emulator like Bochs or QEmu. On Real Hardware ---------------- If you have installed Haiku to its own partition you can include this partition in your bootmanager and try to boot Haiku like any other OS you have installed. To include a new partition in the BeOS bootmanager run this in a Terminal: bootman On Emulated Hardware -------------------- For emulated hardware you should build disk image (see above). How to setup this image depends on your emulater. A tutorial for Bochs on BeOS is below. If you use QEmu, you can usually just provide the path to the image as command line argument to the "qemu" executable. Bochs ----- Version 2.2 of Bochs for BeOS (BeBochs) can be downloaded from BeBits: http://www.bebits.com/app/3324 The package installs to: /boot/apps/BeBochs2.2 You have to set up a configuration for Bochs. You should edit the ".bochsrc" to include the following: ata0-master: type=disk, path="/path/to/haiku.image", cylinders=122, heads=16, spt=63 boot: disk Now you can start Bochs: $ cd /boot/apps/BeBochs2.2 $ ./bochs Answer with RETURN and with some patience you will see Haiku booting. If booting into the graphical evironment fails you can try to hit "space" at the very beginning of the boot process. The Haiku bootloader should then come up and you can select some safe mode options. Docbook documentation ===================== Our documentation can be found in 'src/documentation/'. You can build it by running 'jam' in that folder. The results will be stored in the 'generated/' folder.
