I had essentially no problems with brickos-2.6.08 - aside from noticing at
least a couple new headers I have to port to Pascal.  configure worked like
a charm.

I spoke too soon.  There is a problem with cygwin and Makefile.Common in the
new release.  The host utilities are not built with -D_WIN32 which (of
course) causes them to not work at all.  In Makefile.Common there is a place
where CFLAGS is set to a value regardless of its previous value.  This
should probably be changed so it works with both Linux & Cygwin.

ifdef BUILDING_HOST_UTILS
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   defines for build of native compiled utilities
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall

else  # ifndef BUILDING_HOST_UTILS


For Cygwin I can simply change that line to

CFLAGS+=-O2 -Wall

But for Linux that will duplicate the already existing value of CFLAGS.

After making this change everything worked perfectly, as far as I can tell. I had a lot of trouble trying to build the gcc cross compiler. With this build and the pre-build cross compiler from hitachi's website everything was very easy. Thanks! (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
