UGH!!!!
what a night.
I was up VERY LATE helping bruce put BrickOS on his brick.
(start with the left leg of the flame suit, next the right leg, ok, now
the pyro jacket, and next, the special pyro gel.)
I had not done it up until now, but with marios pointer to Bricxcc and
those 2 files it was a breeze.
Turns out bruce was missing a brickos.srec firmware, that for some
reason never was installed....
long story short, I found it for him on line (cause bruce is not so good
with google)
bruce and I now have a firmware on our bricks. easy as pie.
OK, next step, lets find a sample C code somewhere, and "compile it"
then Down load it on to the RCX.
EASY!
!!!!B U L L - _ * ^ !!!!!!!!
of all the sample c code for the RCXen out there, they all have these
stupid #includes[H.].....
OK, I can find a directory of includes. BUT when i use BRICXCC to
compile the c, it never sees the includes and gives me (and bruce
errors.)
so i went to bed!
3 hours later, princess started crying, and now daddy is now is slightly
blearily eyes on this day, THE COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!!! (-23C or
-36C with wind-chill) (-32.8 degrees Fahrenheit)
NOW, on my allotted 15 min break, I surf the net to A) learn C, and B)
figure out how to compile c into something.
this is where Lugnet is GREAT! i find this LUG
http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/rcx/legos/?n=*3595,-20&v=b
and OH MY GOD, look at how many entries Steve H has in there asking
about questions for his "software"
so. that's where i am.
if someone can explain in SIMPLE words, how to take a bit of obfuscated
c code and turn it into something my RCX likes, I'm all ears!

| (...) not going to happen. It's not that I don't want to. I'd love to explain it, but it's just not simple. First, I suggest you direct your questions to John Hanson (controller of BricxCC) He sounds like he knows what he's talking about. (...) (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) <description of flailing deleted> Chris, I've only played with BrickOS a little, but I had good success. This kind of environment is very familiar to me. I use cygwin terminal to get to the directory that contains C examples. I type make. All (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) A very cold breeze... :-) (...) If the "2 files" you mention are the ones I put up on bricxcc.sourceforge.net then the brickos.srec firmware should be installed to the brickos\boot directory. That's where it gets put if you do a full make from (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
