We need an iBrowse replacement for 68k!!!

Yes, no change.  Snoopy isn't even showing that the file is being attempted to be opened - it's like the tag values are completely wrong or something.

Try changing it to match the ClassAct code (same tags).

Yea, bitmap.image should be able to use anything you have a datatype for but I thought your png datatype might be failing or corrupting the image.

I wouldn't think the following would be a problem since the code works for OS4 but sometimes it's good to cover the basics.

Code: [Select]


BitMapObject,


This should really be:

Code: [Select]


myImage = BitMapObject,


reaction_macros.h defines:

Code: [Select]


#define BitMapObject        NewObject( BITMAP_GetClass(), NULL


This would expand to:

Code: [Select]


myImage = NewObject( BITMAP_GetClass(), NULL,


Next, your:

Code: [Select]


BitMapEnd,


should probably be:

Code: [Select]


BitMapEnd;


I spotted a potential problem in the reaction_macros.h include file.

Code: [Select]


#ifndef End
#define End                 TAG_END)
#endif


This is after the first use of "End". I moved this before the first use of "End" as well as converting some tabs to spaces where it would help consistency and readability. Let me know if this modified reaction_macros.h causes any problems:

It's a longshot that this would be the problem but reaction_macros.h should be better this way if I didn't mess something up .

It is already.  I chopped the interesting (broken) bit out of my window creation macro.

reaction_macros.h defines:

Code: [Select]


#define BitMapObject        NewObject( BITMAP_GetClass(), NULL


This would expand to:

Code: [Select]


myImage = NewObject( BITMAP_GetClass(), NULL,


I've since modified (replaced) these macros to use a class pointer which is fetched once, as this is better from the OS4 side of things.  It hasn't made any difference, so I don't think that's the problem.

Next, your:

Code: [Select]


BitMapEnd,


should probably be:

Code: [Select]


BitMapEnd;


This is purely because I cut that code out of a longer window definition.

#define End                 TAG_END)
#endif

I'll try with that later (and with exactly the same tags as the example, as per Nova's suggestion above).  I'll also dump the tag values as that's my current suspicion, although I don't see how they can be messed up unless they are being treated as char or something.

None of that worked, I'm still getting a NULL pointer returned from NewObject.
I checked the tag value for BITMAP_SourceFile and it is correct (85019001).

I'm out of ideas.

This might be stupid suggestion, but maybe there is something wrong in your Reaction installation? Other words, them problem is not in code? Has you tried Aweb or some other proggies wich uses Reaction?

Not a bad idea at all. The simplest test would be to download this:

http://aminet.net/dev/gui/ClassAct2Demo.lha

and execute ClassAct/Examples/BitMap/BitMapExample in the archive. For me with AmigaOS 3.9, this opens a window titled "Bitmap Example" containing 2 images of buttons with text below them saying "Buttons by Supernov". The code generated in this example could be compared to that in NetSurf as well as testing the Reaction installation.

Yes, loads. I'm running the 68k code I'm compiling under OS4, and if I try on an OS3.5 install (which runs AWeb fine) I'm getting exactly the same thing. It's related to the build environment, not the execution environment.

@Chris
Is it possible to archive your AmigaOS 3 build with needed relative directory structure so I could make a single NetSurf assign and try it? The archive would probably be rather large so a link might be best but I could PM you my e-mail address for an attachment too. The zone on http://eab.abime.net/ is a possibility but I don't know if you have an account on EAB (English Amiga Board).

[chris]

Typically I've just built that ClassAct bitmap example myself and the sodding thing works.  Now to figure out what's different between that and the other example code I added a bitmap object to previously.

Just the NetSurf archive?  Sure, easily done.

There's no icon unless you install it, but you can run it from the command line.
If you use "netsurf -v" it will chuck out some debug.

this archive must be somehow os4 specific.. i couldnt decompress it properly neither under win or amiga..

It opened for me on Windows, but I used 7zip.

It is Lzh compressed.

Lha didn't work for me either but it decompressed with xadUnFile on the Amiga.

@Chris
I get the same result as you. BitMapObject = 0x000000 and the splash window is a narrow strip at the top of the Workbench screen. I'll check it out with the debugger and see what I can see .

To ask a stupid question, are we sure the image is actually in that folder?

Can we try and open it first and check that we get a valid file pointer?

splash.png displays fine with my datatypes using Multiview. I don't see anything wrong with the path. Chris has it nice and simply set up so everything is PROGDIR: relative.

Edit: There are no MuForce/MuGuardianAngel problems with the splash screen but there are some after which should be fixed. NetSurf runs and exits without crashing when I am using MuForce. The links below are the complete MuForce/MuGuardianAngel output and the Netsuf debug output.

It looks like GCCFindHit should locate most of the problems in the source .

It was compressed with Linux LhA. You can extract using xadmaster's LhA client, unfortunately the LhA command line tool doesn't support the compression mode used.

(32.699992) amiga/gui.c ami_gui_splash_open 5192: BitMapObject = 0x000000

if im not mistaken, according to the debug log only this one (splash image?) looks like problem? everything else seems to be going right so far?
