Markus, I have been away for the last week or so. What have I missed in the discussion on LNP? I would like to get cracking on this. I have 2 or 3 guys over here who want to get into this too. -Jake Jacob S. Barrett jsbarrett@acm.org (26 years ago, 28-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.

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)

How about a ./configure script? It just needs to ask two questions... write the answers in .config or Makefile.common or whatever suits your fancy and you're done once and for all. (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
