Hooray, I thought, MS let you download the toolchain, now I can compile drawterm with SSL

http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

almost

I used : mk -n 'CONF=Windows' 
on plan9 to produce http://www.proweb.co.uk/~matt/plan9/drawterm-compile.bat

but it failed, mainly due to a missing windows.h (the MS version I presume)

http://www.proweb.co.uk/~matt/plan9/compile_output.txt

there are some other minor errors too

such as auth.c(104) : warning C4013: 'des56to64' undefined; assuming extern returning int

oh well, it was close

my theory is that you need the inverse of this:

-/*
- *	Convert a Plan 9 key to a DES key.
- */
-uchar	*
-des9key(uchar *key)
-{
-	int		i;
-	int		m1[]	= { 0x00, 0x01, 0x03, 0x07, 0x0F, 0x1F, 0x3F };
-	int		m2[]	= { 0x00, 0xFC, 0xF8, 0xF0, 0xE0, 0xC0, 0x80 };
-	static uchar	nkey[DESKEYPLEN];
-
-	nkey[0] = key[0] & 0xFE;
-
-	for (i = 1; i < 7; i++)
-		nkey[i] = (key[i - 1] & m1[i]) << 8 - i | (key[i] & m2[i]) >> i;
-
-	nkey[7] = (key[6] & 0x7F) << 1;
-
-
-	return nkey;
-}

as Plan 9 packs a DES key into 7 bytes, the 8th bit being a 'parity' bit and
unused.

at least you don't need the inverse of sha1.

seriously, though, if you're missing <windows.h>
you're not anywhere near close.  it sounds like the
build environment is quite a bit different.  <windows.h>
is the equivalent of plan 9's <libc.h> -- it defines everything.

sure does.

what a coincidence - i downloaded it too for a look-see.
you'll need the windows SDK to get windows.h etc...

Might as well just include everything:

cd \usr\include
find . -name '*.h' -type f -print | sort | sed 's/.*/#include <&>/' >windows.h
make

a novel solution but it's messier than that ...

// happy disk filling!

i'd worked up the courage to look at the code, to satisfy my
curiosity. then i firmly clenched my jaw in preparation for
poluting my otherwise clean system with microsoft crap, and
went seeking the download. but ah! you cannont get anything
from there without IE running on a PC! thank you, microsoft,
for saving me from my weakness and helping to preserve the
purity of my system.

Well I certainly managed to start the download from phoenix/firebird/firefox
(whatever it's called this week)

// Well I certainly managed to start the download from phoenix/firebird/firefox

huh. blast, now i'm all curious again. have you played with your agent string?
the error i get back from the MS server basically says "sorry, try again using
IE on a Win32 box." there's nothing clickable on the page.

the SDK uses an activeX installer, last time I looked Mozilla didn't support ActiveX

So I think you arew talking at cross purposes

perhaps it lies about who/what it is?

ahh, that would explain it.

Nah - I suspect it was crossed purpose - I then tried to download the SDK
(vs the compiler) and got the "need IE" page.

Re: [9fans] Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

[Bruce Ellis]

gee i really want to download a huge amount of stuff that
*only works on windows* to somewhere else.  and i have
defective knowledge of downloading using my non-IE browser.

wake up.

Re: [9fans] Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

Further to this,  I've actually got XP on a machine now,  so tried to
download the platform SDK - no joy.  It turns out that the auto installer
needs a specific DLL and my machine has too recent a version!  Also the
direct links are broken.  However a bit of poking around in the release
notes (which are viewable) resulted in the paths.

So if anyone is interested,  you can grab it (330MB) from the following
prefix:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/

To which append the files:

PSDK-FULL.bat, Extract.exe,  PSDK-FULL.[1-9].cab, PSDK-FULL.1[0-3].cab

The above can be done with any http download app.

Now - to try and install the junk so as to recompile one program...

(I also now need to figure out how much space to give 9p on the laptop)

Nah - they should pay us to download that junk

they should, but i've done [coded] it.
