[analog-help] Re: Windows Vista?

[John Harman]

Jeroen,

There is a small modification which I made to a copy of analog and posted here back in November which *appears* to detect Vista running on 32bit platform, I don't have a 64bit machine to use logfiles from for testing.

I've included the modified code below showing the before and after. It appears to work for me and you are welcome to check, use and confirm yourself.

Make sure you keep a backup before modifying anything though as this hasn't been tested to the extent of the main analog codebase (I'm not a 'C' programmer by nature).

I believe that Stephen Turner (the primary author of Analog) has suggested that he doesn't foresee himself finding time to make any such updates any time soon which is what led me to this.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

John Harman

Hi Paul,

Line 874 and 876 are the lines which I amended before adding 875 in - below is a comparison of the two files (assuming it works through the mailing system) which shows how it was before and after,   if that helps you. 
It's possible that if you missed a }{ or something then the compilation would fail. I think I'm right in saying that there wouldn't be much point me posting a compiled version of it unless you were using the same platform (i.e. type of linux/windows) as me which is why analog is generally done from source.

Hope this helps.

Hey John,

Thanks for your help.  This is all pretty new to me!

I have downloaded the analog source code, although the server seems to be on
its knees. In the tree.c file, it’s just line 874 that needs to be
overwritten, with this bit from your snippet, is that right?

          else if (*c =='6') {
           *name = "Windows:Windows Vista";
         }
         else if (*c >= '7' && *c <= '9')

Also, the compilation.  I have never done this before, so get as far as the
NMAKE/f bit and then rather crash out, with the feeling that I am probably
missing something.  Might you be able to post the compiled file somewhere for
download, or I can post it somewhere too, if everybody wants a go!

Tx again…
