Recompiling QM

Ashley: /* Recompiling OpenQM */ - Change of library locations in buildgpl script

==Recompiling OpenQM==

If you want to recompile OpenQM there are two different sections you need to look at: the C code and the QMBasic code. If you make any changes to the code then you really should run buildgpl again, as this basically rebuilds the system from the ground up.

If you alter the C code in gplsrc simply run "qm -stop", then buildgpl. This will compile your code and link it into the main routines. Depending upon compiler and library versions you may need to change some of the QM_GCC_OPTIONS in the buildgpl script. Try these in various combinations:

* remove -Werror
* add -Wno-packed
* add -Wno-pointer-sign

Recent Ubuntu (11.10) and other distributiuons have moved some of the library locations. You may have to edit the QMLIBS line in the buildgpl script. Try these

* QMLIBS="-lm -lcrypt -ldl"
* QMLIBS="-Wl,--no-as-needed -lm -lcrypt -ldl"

If you change the basic programs in GPL.BP, however, you first need to compile them. First login to the sysprog account using "qm - Internal"; this allows you to compile the internal subroutines that would normally throw a compiler error. Then compile your altered routine. As GPL.BP.OUT doesn't exist immediately after an install, I'd suggest avoiding "* CHANGED" unless you actually want to compile them all. Finally exit qm and run .buildgpl. I'm not sure why this is necessary, but without it the changes only appear in the system account; running buildgpl propagates the changes properly.

Quick checklist:

After changing some C-code:

* cd /usr/qmsys
* qm -stop
* ./buildgpl
* qm -start

After changing Basic code:

* qm -Internal "BASIC GPL.BP progname"
* ./buildgpl

Gene and Ashley discovered that there was a missing file that prevented QPROC being recompiled. TODO:- recall and document this.

Welcome to ScarletDME.org. [[ScarletDME]] is a OpenSource [[multivalue|MultiValue]] database, a community fork of [[OpenQM]] originally developed by [[Ladybridge]]. This project was founded on the 28th November 2008 to independently develop future versions of [[ScarletDME]] and contribute to [[OpenQM]].

Submissions to this project must be under the GPL version 2, with the option to use a later version if the licensee wishes. Or they can be licensed under the LGPL if you wish to encourage and allow incorporation into proprietary products. Contributors to [[ScarletDME]] are welcome to submit changes back to Ladybridge as well, for inclusion in Commercial QM. See [[Commercial submissions]] for details. We encourage submission to Ladybridge, the founder of this MultiValue database. We do recognise their processes are not as easy as traditional GPL projects. So we simply offer an easier forum for development with less stringent controls on contribution and participation.

'''Name change''' ''Some of you may have noticed The new Logo (to your left) With the new Brand name, ScarletDME (Data Management Environment). This is to be the new name for the GPL project based on Ladybridges GPL OpenQM; something to distinguish GPL from commercial. Changing every name reference will take a little time to complete, until then the names GPL OpenQM and Scarlet/ScarletDME will be synonymous. You can reach this site via [http://www.scarletdme.org www.scarletdme.org].
The server is a VMWare Server 2 Virtual Machine located in a high-bandwidth datacentre in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is hosted by [[User:SteveB|SteveB]] who maintains a daily backup to a secondary datacentre in Amsterdam. If you can provide a stable high bandwidth backup mirror, please contact him.

'''This server is DOWN/SLOW around 04:00GMT nightly for 15mins while backing up.'''

If you have a question on USAGE of the community version of Scarlet, then send it to the [http://groups.google.co.uk/group/scarletdme general email support group].

If you want to discuss DEVELOPMENT of the community version of Scarlet (eg. php5 module) then send it to the [http://www.scarletdme.org/mailman/listinfo/openqm-dev development email group].

While the email lists are best for getting attention, permanent changes in this wiki will have a longer term impact so feel free to add or change ANYTHING in this wiki.

Raw I/O

Ashley: clarification of stdio usage

==Raw terminal I/O in ScarletDME==

If you want to read from input without any character translation, it's necessary to disable some of the helpful processing that SD does. By default the input stream
is converted from lower case to upper case (and vice versa), and Ctrl-C is processed as a break character. The output is formatted so as to require user to
press <return> after each screen full of characters.

The following bit of code completely disables ALL formatting:-

execute "TERM 32767,32767 NULL"
echo off ;* Disables iput echoing
prompt "" ;* Disables input prompt character
junk=@(0, 0) ;* Disables output paging
junk = junk ;* Supress compiler warning from above line
term_settings = ttyget() ;* get parameters
term_settings<1> = 0 ;* Ctrl-C treated as the break key? (PTERM BREAK mode)
term_settings<2> = 0 ;* Case inversion on? (PTERM CASE mode)
ttyset term_settings ;* set parameters

Once you've done this, it is still necessary to take care getting piped standard input (stdio) into Scarlet. Like this:-

$include syscom err.h
count = 0
s = 1 ;* flag for more chars in stdin - we assume so at beginning
loop
count += 1
string=keyin()
if status() = er$eof then s = 0
query_string := string
while s
while count < 1000000 ;* upper size limit
repeat

Glen is working on a single statement that the compiler can interpret to do the case conversion disable.

I've tried to reproduce this bug, and it appears to be fixed in the 2.6-6 release of the GPL OpenQM GPL. Hence it should also be fixed in the CVS, but nobody has checked yet.

==Steps to reproduce==

Create a file called TESTFILE with a dictionary entry F1 of:
1: D
2: 1
3:
4: F1
5: 5R
6: S

Now run this program to get some data in:
<nowiki>
open "TESTFILE" to file else stop

for i = 1 to 2000
data = i
write data to file, "rec":i
next i

data = ''
for i = 2001 to 2100
write data to file, "rec":i
next i

end
</nowiki>

Now
SELECT TESTFILE WITH F1 > 1500
works fine;
CREATE-INDEX TESTFILE F1
BUILD-INDEX TESTFILE F1
SELECT TESTFILE WITH F1 > 1500
Segfault.

==General Bright Ideas==
* point SORTWORK to a RAMFS mount, would provide very fast sort handling. (Ashley notes: Altering the SORTMEM parameter does the same)
* A bit blue-sky, but something I've wanted to work on for ages: full Unicode support.
* Construct a "High performance" benchmark and tuning section
*Define a "core" of standardised multivalue capabilities that is implemented in all systems, so porting between systems requires zero modifications.

Ashley: Suggestion of ScarletDME abbreviation usage

Change '/usr/qmsys' to something more appropriate.

:[[User:Diccon|Diccon]] Suggestions? /usr/scarlet /usr/scarletsys, easy and very subjective, as it depends on the config file. Only applicable to installers and packages.

:[[User:Ashleyn|Ashley]] how about /usr/sqsys. Basically swap instances of "QM" for "SQ". as this is the same length, it could be an general rule to implement. Easy and Lazy :-)

Ashley:

==Raw terminal I/O in QM==

If you want to read from input without any character translation, it's necessary to disable some of the helpful processing that QM does. The input stream
is converted from lower case to upper case (and vice versa), and Ctrl-C is processed as a break character. The output is formatted so as to require user to
press <return> after each screenful of characters.

The following bit of code completely disables ALL formatting:-

execute "TERM 32767,32767 NULL"
echo off ;* Disables iput echoing
prompt "" ;* Disables input prompt character
junk=@(0, 0) ;* Disables output paging
junk = junk ;* Supress compiler warning from above line
term_settings = ttyget() ;* get parameters
term_settings<1> = 0 ;* Ctrl-C treated as the break key? (PTERM BREAK mode)
term_settings<2> = 0 ;* Case inversion on? (PTERM CASE mode)
ttyset term_settings ;* set parameters

Glen is working on a single statement that the compiler can interpret to do the case conversion disable.

If you want to read from input without any character translation, it's necessary to disable some of the helpful processing that QM does. The input stream
is converted from lower case to upper case (and vice versa), and Ctrl-C is processed as a break character. The output is formatted so as to require user to
press <return> after each screenful of characters.

The following bit of code completely disables ALL formatting:-

execute "TERM 32767,32767 NULL"
echo off ;* Disables iput echoing
prompt '' ;* Disables input prompt character
junk=@(0, 0) ;* Disables output paging
junk = junk ;* Supress compiler warning from above line
term_settings = ttyget() ;* get parameters
term_settings<1> = 0 ;* Ctrl-C treated as the break key? (PTERM BREAK mode)
term_settings<2> = 0 ;* Case inversion on? (PTERM CASE mode)
ttyset term_settings ;* set parameters

Recompiling QM

2008-12-07T13:28:23Z

Ashley: /* Recompiling OpenQM */

==Recompiling OpenQM==

If you want to recompile OpenQM there are two different sections you need to look at: the C code and the QMBasic code. If you make any changes to the code then you really should run buildgpl again, as this basically rebuilds the system from the ground up.

If you alter the C code in gplsrc simply run "qm -stop", then buildgpl. This will compile your code and link it into the main routines. Depending upon compiler and library versions you may need to change some of the QM_GCC_OPTIONS in the buildgpl script. Try these in various combinations:

* remove -Werror
* add -Wno-packed
* add -Wno-pointer-sign

If you change the basic programs in GPL.BP, however, you first need to compile them. First login to the sysprog account using "qm - Internal"; this allows you to compile the internal subroutines that would normally throw a compiler error. Then compile your altered routine. As GPL.BP.OUT doesn't exist immediately after an install, I'd suggest avoiding "* CHANGED" unless you actually want to compile them all. Finally exit qm and run .buildgpl. I'm not sure why this is necessary, but without it the changes only appear in the system account; running buildgpl propagates the changes properly.

Quick checklist:

After changing some C-code:

* cd /usr/qmsys
* qm -stop
* ./buildgpl
* qm -start

After changing Basic code:

* qm -Internal "BASIC GPL.BP progname"
* ./buildgpl

Gene and Ashley discovered that there was a missing file that prevented QPROC being recompiled. TODO:- recall and document this.

== HELLO SUBVERSION in Windows==

This is a minimal but totally functional how to checkout from, and commit to, gpl.openqm in Windows using the Tortoise Windows Explorer shell extension. Think of Tortoise as a folder sync tool which pops up reconciliation screens where conflicts occur between people's edits.

The interesting bits of source code management jump out at you later when two people work on the same file at the same time.

*You commit a file which has also committed by someone else AFTER you checked it out
*You update your depo from repo and someone has committed changes to a file that you have already locally changed.

In these cases you get presented with opportunity to compare and reconcile the two edits in a neat side by side window.

=== Other tools===

Visual Studio - http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/

Eclipse - http://subclipse.tigris.org/

Netbeans supports it natively now too. <Diccon> Bean a life saver. (Can we have a few hints, Diccon?)

=== Installation ===

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

Might need a reboot

=== Checking Out ===

Right click on your desktop and choose SVN CHECKOUT

Fill in the details

URL? https://gpl.openqm.com/svn/qmvdb

Checkout Folder? D:\Documents and settings\steve\Desktop\TESTIT

Click OK

Do you want to create the directory? Yes

Do you want to accept the unsigned certificate? Yes

Wait while it downloads the whole repository

Finished: OK

After you click on the folder or refresh desktop with F5, the new folder TESTIT should have a big green tick over it indicating all synced with the repo

Subversion puts a hidden folder called .svn in any folder it is managing

===Acquiring rights to commit===

To commit you must have a username and password which is given by an admin with root perms on gpl.openqm.com with the following command where xxxxxxx is the username

htpasswd /etc/subversion/passwd xxxxxxxxx

=== Committing ===

#Open the folder TESTIT
#Create a file called testing.txt anywhere in the folder structure
#Close the folder and notice that it has a big red ! on it showing that something is commitable
#Right click on the TESTIT folder (or indeed any subfolder)
#Choose SVN Commit
#It shows a long list of files that it thinks could be committed - in your case just the testing.txt file - you have to check all files that you want uploaded or check Select All
#It helps to add a message explaining why you are committing
#Click OK
#Enter your committers username and password
#Screen showing upload progress
#Click OK when finished and note that the red ! has changed back into a green tick

== GPL.OPENQM.COM ==

This site is dedicated to the development of the GPL version of openqm by providing a traditional open source environment where anyone can acquire or provide up to the minute bug fixes and developments.

This is a purely GPL project but individual committers are obviously entitled to also submit their work in parallel to Ladybridge, perhaps using diffs, under licences which allow incorporation into Ladybridge's non-GPL codebase. This will minimise the fork and perhaps facilitate further GPL releases from Ladybridge.

The subdomain name is granted by Ladybridge but this server is not their responsibility or under their control.

The gpl.openqm.com server is a vmware 2 virtual machine located in a high bandwidth data centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is hosted by steve.bush@neosys.com who is responsible for daily backup to another data centre in Amsterdam. If you can provide stable high bandwidth backup or VMware 2.0 hosting to mirror outside Europe please contact him.

You must register and login to edit this wiki.

== How do I use this site? ==
If you have a question on how to use the GPl version of OpenQM, then send it to the support and discussion mailing list.

If you want to discuss development of an issue (eg. PHP5 module), and there is no page here for it, then login, and add a page for it. Others will add their contributions to that page.

There is no general discussion forum, because you are expected to edit this site through the wiki links. Feel free to change ANYTHING. If we don't agree with what you do, we can change things back.

There is a developers email list, but really we want you to edit this wiki site directly. That way things don't get lost in the historic trail of emails, and then get asked again.

Ashley: /* Development */

Things we need or want.

If you can do this for the project pop your name by it to claim the job, and contact the Dev mailing list.

To keep in touch with this slowly evolving agenda register, making sure you check "email alerts on pages I watch", login and click the "watch" tab at the top of this page.

==Development==
*Makefile - '''TAKEN''' - [[User:Diccon|Diccon]] (Thanks to Andruk Tatum for the Original on Google group, only minor tweaks to get working on our source)
*Lastest version DEB package
*QM API list compression
*Revelation binary computability
*QPROC system call
*Svn Linux howto
*[[Logo]]
*XML Database layer
*XQuery Engine

==Sysadmin==
*Sort /var/www or Apache so we dont have to multi sym link to get dirs visible.
*ftp access? (not sure if we need this)
*A proper Bug Tracker. This page will do for now, but it would be much better to have a real tool.

==Bugfixes==
*ERRMSG to hold more than one error

Ashley: Discussing proposed developments

I wonder how we can restructure it so there is one discussion area for each item on the page, rather than one discussion for the whole page.
