[OLSR-users] OLSR compatibility with Microsoft Embedded Visual C++

[Wilkins, Gary D (SELEX) (UK)]

Hi Thomas,

I have tried your suggestion below, and (now that pocket console has been
loaded onto the pocket PC) 'Hello World' is displayed briefly, but the
fflush call caused an exception (Code C0000005).

I have tracked down various problems by using:
printf - to display the position reached in the code
sleep(5) - to give time to read the display.

The problems found so far are:

1. calls in main() to setbuf caused an exception, so these calls were
commented out to allow the code to get further.

2. any calls to fprintf caused an exception, so these were changed to
printf calls.

3. the code then ran to the point where it checked the arguments,
(olsr_process_arguments). As there were no arguments, a negative value
was returned, and the code terminated.

I guess that other problems will arise when the code looks for hardware
devices that are not available in the Pocket PC.

I will let you know if I get any further with the olsr code running under
Windows CE.

Have you any idea when version 0.4.10 will be released?

Regards,
Gary

Hi Gary,

I am happy to hear that you've been able to compile the code. Pretty
interesting that a simple application works, but olsrd doesn't. It would
be interesting to see what adding

  printf("Hello, world.\n");
  fflush(stdout);

at the very beginning of the main() function in the olsrd code (file
main.c) does. Let's see whether olsrd prints anything, i.e. whether
olsrd makes it into main() or whether it crashes during initialization
of the runtime libraries. If the latter is the case, the problem might
arise from compiler options that olsrd uses but your "Hello, world."
application doesn't use. Hmm.

Unfortunately I do not know a lot about Windows CE. It's basically a
miracle that I was able to get the code to compile on this platform. :-)
So, I am afraid that I cannot be of any help regarding emulators.

I'd love to remain up to date regarding your progress, as I'll spend
more time looking into the CE port again in August. Let's get release
0.4.10 working on CE.

-Thomas
