Hello Ed, problems, problems, problems :) <sigh> Never knew your DOS life is so complicated.

Hello Steve, (...) I don't see a problem in the inclusion of a legOS.srec. But I don't know what happens if you compile your user programs with some other compiler then that building the legOS.srec. And I think that compiling the legOS system is a (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Wow. Michael, this helps a lot. Thanks. But now I have some other questions... (...) Yes, that makes sense.

Ok, lets try to fiddle some things out. There seems to be a confusion about the software needed for running legOS and why. And there seems to be some confusion about what cygwin and DJGPP are. legOS runs user programs written in C and compiled to (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Is DJGPP easier to use from DOS (Windows)? Can CygWin be executed from a command line? When I set up my PC with LegOS (about a year ago) I installed DJGPP (with the help of a Unix friend), and I've been very happy with it. Recently, I just set-up a (...)

Michael, What I am hearing here and have heard in the past, along with my own personal experience, is that developing for legOS under Windows and more specific cygwin can be or is a pretty difficult task.

Hey All, I've talked with several people about this. First, a quick generalization: IMHO, there are two types of LegOS users: 1) Unix/Linux programmers who use LegOS as another platform for development, and don’t really care about building robots.
