Hi, Thanks a lot for the response! Yes to search packages and list their content in Slackware it is pretty similar to your illustration. Slackware seems
to use iODBC in which case it would link with -liodbc I guess.

Hi,
I don't know if this actually fits the Bug Report category. I've been trying to install Midas on my Mac OS

Below are the steps we used to increase the maximum number of frontends that we could run.

|
The sizeof checks were originally invented by KO to check for binary compatibility between processes attached to the same ODB and event buffers. So if a
compiler generates different structure sizes due to different padding, one would see that immediately. I wonder however if the absolute numbers make sense |
|
12 Aug 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Suggestion, Increasing Max Number of Frontends
|
The checks for byte sizes of critical data structures have been added to ensure (enforce) binary compatibility
of midas with itself on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit intel, on PPC, on ARM, etc).

|
13 Aug 2017, Stefan Ritt, Suggestion, Increasing Max Number of Frontends
|
I agree that the binary compatibility checks are crucial. But I kind of find it strange if one gets an assert failure some where if one tries to change
MAX_CLIENTS. It is then not straight
forward to relate both things and understand the consequences. That's why I put a comment next to the definition of MAX_CLIENTS saying:

Quick reply.

The type INT has been defined in 1989 when I for the first time sent data between a 16-bit MS-DOS computer and a 32-bit VAX computer (good old
days!). At that time, uint32_t was not available at all. So much for the historical background.

06 May 2022, Stefan Ritt, Info, Increased timeout for program shut down

We had the problem in our lab that a frontend took about 6 seconds to gracefully
shut down, mainly it needed to park some motors. I found that the shutdown command
had a hard-coded timeout of 5 seconds, after which the frontend gets killed, and

Due to some request several limitations like the maximal number of clients to the ODB have
been increased in midas.h and committed to CVS. It is important to note that clients compiled
with the old limits cannot coexist with clients compiled with the new limits. You will get
