 | | legOS on Mac OS X —Seb Nash
|
| | | Has anyone successfully installed legOS on Mac OS X? The OS has a FreeBSD UNIX-based layer, called Darwin, so I've heard that it shouldn't be too hard. Only, I'm finding that it is... My UNIX experience isn't vast, so I feel like I've tried (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | (...) Seb, It would help if you posted info about what you've tried, and what the results were. I don't use OS X, but I know a lot about FreeBSD, which by most accounts is fairly close to Darwin. I suspect a few others here know even more 8?) (...)

| | | | ROSCO, I realise that would indeed be helpful! Didn't want a long and boring first post however... I've basically having a problem bulding gcc as a cross compiler. I started with the legOS HOWTO pages at (URL) . There it suggests using (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | I haven't tried this, but, you should probably get the gcc source from the Apple CVS server? (URL) heard that they were folding their Darwin modifications back into the real gcc source, that's why gnu.org isn't shipping it yet. For now the Apple CVS (...)

But if the Darwin version of cc can be built to support the h8, you're still gonna have to (most likely) make changes to firmdl & dll programs to get them working with the Mac. Do (...)

Since no serial hardware exists on post-98 Apple machines, OS X omits the legacy serial driver APIs. USB is (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

If anyone is trying this, feel free to grab the OSX/USB code I wrote for NQC (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I am using a serial tower with a Keyspan adapter and the setup works great for NQC following your readme file. I had been wondering though, (...)
