  gcc build instructions for linux
 
Linux Tools for Hitachi H8/300 Microprocessor Development (URL) came across this site today. It has good instructions for building the gcc h3000 compiler on Linux. I thought people here might also be interested in the crt0.s 'C' startup source. I (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Alex: Downloaded the netphm files from your site. Your right, it was alot easier. Now all I have to do is build my scanner.

I'm going to make the pbFORTH a bit more user friendly shortly, by adding a MARKER word that essentially clears out all of your own definitions. (...) The (...)

  FORTH editor/IDE
 
Is anyone considering, or in the process of, writing an editor for pbFORTH on the PC? I am thinking of doing one in the style of RCX Command Center ((URL) but don't want to reinvent the wheel if there's one on the stocks. I haven't tried pbFORTH (...)

  Re: names
 
(...) Will you resist the temptation 2nd time around it TLGs lawyers decide that the 'LegOS' name is a possible infringement? :) Richard(OS) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  names
 
Hello, some friends asked me today why I did resist the temptation of putting my name in the OS name. (It just never occurred to me.) However, there was somebody around who speaks Polish. He pointed out that Noga is Polish for leg. Totally caught me (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Compiler
 
Hi Lou, new binaries would be nice. I did create an archive, but I didn't feel like pumping those Megabytes over my modem yet. Mine is about 3.3MB, though - did your install script really strip all those executables? Markus. (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: How do you convert light sensor data to bmp image
 
I just put a Win32/i386 port of netpbm on my ftp site (ftp://ftp.phred.org...bm-e.zip). Very little documentation, but it should be easier then uploading and downloading files from a unix account. I'd recommend generating the PGM, then using (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: toolchain
 
On the subject of licences: I always forget the details, coz they bore me, but as a result of working on Apache, I do know a few things: 1. There is an LGPL that is less restrictive than GPL. 2. GPL licences are not compatible with all other (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: How do you convert light sensor data to bmp image
 
Alex: Thank you for your suggestion. I was able to find a Windows95 site which described a way to utilize the PGM program. The site basically provides the files needed to call up a UNIX window on my PC. From the UNIX window, I can then utilize the (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: toolchain
 
(...) I am by no means an license expert, but I just happen to have been reading about the GPL, and the MPL is pretty similar, though there are, of course, differences. The doc that I read stated that you can apply the GPL only to the files that you (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Compiler

  Re: toolchain
 
(...) Read the MPL again. It's not clear to me that you need to MPL all your code if you include unmodified source from something that is covered by MPL. But if you include MPL'd source, you certainly have to make it clear what code is covered by (...) (26 years ago, 23-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: toolchain
 
(...) Yes, I believe GNU configure is covered by GPL. I already changed legOS licensing to MPL because Kekoa's math routines are MPL. I'm not sure if we may continue to use them if we change yet again. What's the status on menuconfig? Are those (...) (26 years ago, 23-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: toolchain
 
(...) What about a simplified gnu 'configure' ? Or would using that scheme mean incorperating the GNU license as well? :) Richard (26 years ago, 23-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Compiler
 
I have discovered that the instructions for building the compiler on the legOS site have changed. They now say to build egcs, whereas they used to say to build gcc. This could, conceivably, be why I cannot build good files with 0.1.7, since I'm (...) (26 years ago, 23-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: toolchain
 
Menuconfig would be a great thing. Xconfig would be even better, but I agree with Markus' concern about portability. The Linux kernel distributions get around the portability by simply providing all three config tools and letting you use the most (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: toolchain
 
(...) Exactly. Can you say "make config"? Ah, no, that won't do. "make menuconfig", maybe? We'd have to stay portable, though. That rules out "make xconfig" :-( (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) That would be funky :) * Location of H8300 binutils * Location of perl (mergemap script) * Serial Port (RCXPORT) variable? * Compile Options? eg --disable-task-management ? That sort of thing? Richard (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
