It's not an OS, its a program.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: User name is 'bob', password is 'bob'.

you still have all your sources #included in header files.

You should put your actual program code in .c files and only prototypes and other definitions in the headers.

I know, I write terrible code. I have yet to fix that, and I will try to later.
Right now I just want to get the functions working.

P.S. But did it compile, and run, and work?

[ucosty]

I haven't yet. It still doesn't build out of the box for me.

Code: Select all

Thats weird, it worked for me when I downloaded it.

What version of gcc do you have?

-JL

[ucosty]

Cygwin's GCC 3.4.4

[Alboin]

I've it compiled. I'm on Gentoo x86_64, with GCC v. 4.1.2.

Some things....

• When I resize my terminal, your shell doesn't. (There are lines left, as if it's not refreshing.) I'm not sure if it's supposed t refresh or not....
• I type in a command, let's say gcc, and the "gcc: no input files" jumps to the middle of the terminal. Also, after each command, the screen clears itself; IMO, not a favorable thing.
• Why does he clock refresh every 5 seconds? It doesn't matter, but, well, you know.
• the Backspace key doesn't work. It instead prints '^'.
• Maybe the prompt should be shorter....?

I don't know where you're going with it. At the moment, I'm kind of comparing it to bash, so, tell me if there's some twist I'm missing.

Thank you.
First, it should resize when you press F5, or hit enter twice.

Second, the output is in the middle so all hard coded windows can be in the first half of the screen. And I'm working on making an output window.

If the clock refreshes too fast, then junk is sometimes printed on the screen. I'm working on that too.

Thanks for this info, I'll work on the problems!

OK, here is a new version, Beta 2 or something.......

I fixed a lot of problems that were suggested by Alboin...

And I separated the header files into C files (did that 5 min ago)...

Let me know what you think!

My only complaint is the line formatting. If I execute a program and the line printed is too long, it doesn't wrap within the shell's boundaries.

Other than that, it's quite an improvement.

Yeah, unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to control the programs output in system() or similar functions...
Thanks.

And it compiled OK, I assume. I didn't test it that much after I separated the C files.

For a quick hack, you can just redirect the program's output, and then print it afterwards. Actually, this is a very bad idea, but it sounds better than nothing.

Code: Select all

	char *meowgd = malloc(strlen(cmd) + 10);
	sprintf(meowgd, "%s > tmp 2>&1", cmd);
	system ( meowgd );  //Execute Command
	free(meowgd);
	
	//Print file 'tmp'

CRANBERRY SAUCE, meow....

[piranha]

Thanks, but what happens if the program wants input? Does it still work?
