- I am having difficulty building ST Minix 1.6.23. Maybe someone
- could enlighten me as to what I might be doing wrong. Here are
- the steps I took to try to get it to work.
-
- 1) I loaded my 1.5.10 sources into a source tree.
-
- 2) I applied Andy's 1.6.23 diffs & patches from an ftp site.
-
- 3) I applied Frans's patches he posted on comp.os.minix.
-
- At this point all source CRC's looked fine except for the few in
- the libraries that I had mentioned in a previous post. But that
- turned out to be a non issue.
-
- 4) I modified config.h to match my system.
-
- 5) I built the library files that Frans calls out in his install
- doc. The only thing I had to do here which wasn't called out
- was to edit 68000/setjmp.s. The assembler wouldn't assemble
- this file due to syntax errors. I had to add a '.' in front
- of the first 11 lines of source directives. Then it assembled.
-
- 6) I replaced the specified files in libc.a that Frans calls out
- in his install doc.
-
- 7) Although it wasn't listed in the install doc, there have been
- several posts which seem to indicate that one must build cv
- before building the kernel. So I built cv, and coppied it to
- /usr/lib.
-
- 8) I went into src/fs and did a make. It compiled everything, and
- seemed to do the ld then it went to do the 'cv tmp fs' & make
- aborted with an error -256. I tried to do the cv by hand and
- it did nothing. I then just entered cv with no parameters, and
- it did nothing, not even print out a usage line, and from looking
- at the source, it should do.
-
- Questions:
-
- A) When building cv do you use the new libc.a or the old one?
-
- B) When building cv do you use the new include files or the old
- ones?
-
- C) When building cv do you have to copy the new head.o end.o
- & crtso.o to /usr/lib?
-
- D) If not, when must this be done if at all?
-
- E) I also can't find a crtso.s in the source tree, there is
- a ncrtso.s. Is this what I should use instead of crtso.s?
- After assembly, do you need to rename it to crtso.o?
-
- F) I seem to get the impression the new command binconv is to
- convert the 1.5.10 binaries to 1.6.23. Is that correct?
- At what point in the process do you need to compile this?
-
- I guess thats about all the questions I have for now. Hopefully
- someone will be enable to enlighten me so I can get 1.6.23 up
- and running.
-
- thanks
