Wait I guess SDFS is different as its treated as a separate module and not mixed with the RISCOS core. isn’t TCP/IP kind of integrated with the main RiscOS core hence why the 2 licences can’t be mixed?

I’m not sure I follow.. Are you saying there is incompatible components to the ROOL Source tree (Apache 2.0 Wise) ?

@ Andrew H.

To bring this thread back to the main topic, I found the following in the GitLab sources, which I vaguely remembered seeing before:

https://gitlab.riscosopen.org/RiscOS/Sources/FileSys/S…

So, while you are correct that the CDDL is not compatible with the Apache 2.0 licence, SDFS is distributed under the CDDL, and it is present in the source repository alongside the rest of the Apache 2.0 licensed material.

Given that, I believe this may simply be a matter of ROD pushing their changes to ROOL’s GitLab. We could then review those changes ourselves and merge them if appropriate. My understanding, based on what both Steve Revill and you have said, is that we can all act as maintainers and that ROOL is not gatekeeping. If that is correct, then it seems to me that this should be a relatively straightforward issue to resolve.

Third video is up now, showing how to create the GitHub repository for your project.

Thank you, I didn’t realise the STL was part of CathLibCPP, I’ll dig deeper. I had a look at ccdoc, early stages, managed to work out how to create an index but so far haven’t managed to parse any header files. I was trying to run ccdoc in a taskwindow and it kept complaining the Window Manager was in use, or something like that.

P.S. My laptop died and the doxygen config was on the drive along with my local GitHub. So I’m looking around for alternatives which I can run on my old laptop which is very full.

Hi Bill

Maybe I didn’t put the right link…
CathlibCpp is not new, it’s for DDE fans only, I use it and this STL serves me well…
I do recompilations from time to time, I haven’t put the last one on the site.
I use the cathlibcpp examples a lot and there is a very interesting site:
https://cplusplus.com/reference/
There are limitations and it is well explained in Miles Sabin’s document, that does not prevent you from using it!

CathLibCPP
https://jeanmichelb.riscos.fr/Dev/CathlLibCPP.html
documentation (1997):
https://jeanmichelb.riscos.fr/Dev/Docs/index.html

I repeat, this is for DDE fans.
Do some testing and if you’re interested I can help you.

CCdoc works well, I added it to my Acornc/C++ library!Setpath.Lib32
It was compiled with GCC++. Doxygen is perhaps more interesting?

We’re in a forum where people still ignore C!

ahahaha 100% right! XD

I do feel I went too far with Rust for the “locals”, but then again I am just having fun! :)

Currently use raspberry theme but may go back to sovereign with some nice graphics for my RPCEmu installs (on linux).

Hey Martin – that is looking really good – i recall in previous times many lamenting that there was no decent graphic design resources available to RISC OS – well now there is – keep doing what you are good at – this gives something back to RISC OS that others can’t – whether or not one will use the new themes or is here for the retro experience – as i get older the bright displays bother me on long sessions so I personally am keen to see the integration of the dark themes – but will repeat previous request, please get rid of those puzzle piece icons in configure – they are extremely dated from a previous time – simple icons (eg prior to arrival of the puzzle pieces) would be my wish, but i might be the only 1.
