loadwb replacement crashes on OS<2.0

[alkis]

Hello all,

I got this http://aminet.net/package/util/sys/GoWB and it works on emulated a500+, a1200 but not on A1000/A500.

Anyone can spot any issue(s)?

#include <proto/exec.h>
#include <proto/dos.h>

#ifndef NDEBUG
void kprintf(const char *fmt, ...);
#define DBUG(...) kprintf(__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define DBUG(...)
#endif


struct wbgo {
  struct Message wbm;
  struct Locklist *locks;
  long debug;
};


int main(void)
{
  struct ExecBase *SysBase = (*((struct ExecBase **) 4));
  /* open DOS */
  struct Library *DOSBase=OldOpenLibrary((STRPTR) "dos.library");

  /* find the Workbench in ROM */
  struct Resident *wbres=FindResident((STRPTR) "workbench.task");
  DBUG("wbres=%lx\n", wbres);

  /* my process */
  struct Process *pr=(struct Process*)FindTask(0);

  /* my CLI */
  struct CommandLineInterface *mycli=(struct CommandLineInterface*)(BADDR(pr->pr_CLI));

  /* CLI-Output (must be closed for EndCLI */
  BPTR cfh=mycli->cli_CurrentInput;
  BPTR sfh=mycli->cli_StandardInput;
  struct FileHandle *mfh=(struct FileHandle*)BADDR(sfh);

  /* start workbench task */
  struct Port *newproc=(struct Port *) CreateProc((STRPTR) "workbench.task",0,((long)wbres+0x2a)>>2,5000);

  /* my very own process msg-port */
  struct Port *myport=(struct Port *) &pr->pr_MsgPort;

  /* startup message */
  struct wbgo wbmsg;

  /* initialize startup message */
  wbmsg.wbm.mn_ReplyPort= (struct  MsgPort *)myport;

  /* not used, for additional information only */
  wbmsg.locks=0;
  wbmsg.debug=1;

  /* send Msg and wait for reply */
  PutMsg((struct MsgPort *)newproc,(struct Message *)&wbmsg);
  WaitPort((struct MsgPort *)myport);
  GetMsg((struct MsgPort *)myport);

  DBUG("Got reply...\n");

    
  // Endcli

  // close Input() and Output(), Batch-file 
  mfh->fh_Pos=mfh->fh_End;
  mfh->fh_End=0;
  if(sfh!=cfh) {
    mycli->cli_CurrentInput=sfh;
    Close(cfh);
  }

  // cancel CLI
  mycli->cli_Background=-1;
  Exit(0);
    
  return 0;
}

For your convenience, attached a gcc6 compatible makefile project.

Alternatively, any loadwb replacement that works in all amigas?

Thanks

In the past i have made a working adf (in a try to make a smallest bootable adf) with GoWB.

I guess that the Crash is happening because of the missing library.

Indeed, having icon.library in libs: allows GoWB to work in a500/a1000.

Kind of defeats the purpose to have a disk freely distributable though if you are gonna include Commodore's code.

Thanks though!

There is also a icon.library even contains a few instructions (LoadWB, EndCli) for executing it from the startup-sequence, 1.x, 2.x, 3.x compatible, you can not replace it with any other icon.library.

Nice. Never seen the concept of library working as an executable as well. Neat.

I guess the package contains some more files than icon.lib. The icon lib isn’t executable afair.

It is executable. You can do
icon.library LOADWB
icon.library DELAY
icon.library ENDCLI

Great, I learned something new today!

Thanks a lot.
