Hi, I installed legOS and cygwin a while ago ... OK, it was version 0.2.4 ;-) But what I've done differently is that I didn't took the original gcc-sources from gnu.org, but the sources of the compiler in cygwin. Maybe you would also like to check (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  RE: Turning the RCX off and on again (was: New pbForth 2.1.0 (and firmware speed))
 
I need to look at some items for Joerg, but I'll also look at a small supervisor that integrates the View,Run,Prgm,and On/Off buttons. This hsould be pretty easy and would be a good bit of example code. Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
