Liam,

What exactly are your errors using cygwin?  Post them here.  I might take a
couple of posts back and forth but I do believe it is possible.  I have it
running on Windows 98 and I know other have been successful with Windows.
What windows OS are you using?  As for Linux I am sorry but can't help you
there yet as I don't have Linux.  But I have seen some people taking about
success with USB (atleast at first glance).

I, too, have been at it for three weeks.  gcc and bintools build OK under
cygwin, but
  when it gets to the cross-compiler, the whole make process craps out. • The
compile
  fails
  because some of the cross-compiler sources are (complaining about) • missing
include
  files.  I gave up.  I moved the whole thing to Linux but now I have • another
problem:
  USB.  I thought I could get around this by building the RCX programs • under
Linux,
  copying them to my Win98SE box, then using firmdl3/dll (which I did get • to
build under
  cygwin).  For some reason, the 0.2.6 utils built under cygwin refuse to
recognize
  --tty=USB (or RCXTTY=USB).  When the tools are run, they say "USB: No • such
file
  or
  directory"  So, now I can build legOS apps for my RCX, I just can't get • 'em to
the
  brick!  I'm about to throw in the towel for good.

Actually there is a set of updated instructions for Windows with the • most
recent being for brickOS.  brickOS is the continued development • effort foe

legOS.  AT the request of The LEGO Group the name has changed.  So • the
    most
recent information can be found here lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos and • at the
brickOS development page http://brickos.sourceforge.net/.  The • updated
windows instructions can be found at
http://legos.sourceforge.net/cygwin/INSTALL-cygwin.html.  The • updated
instructions also appear on the legOS SourceForge website,
http://legos.sourceforge.net/cygwin/INSTALL-cygwin.html.

And of course if you have any issues post them here.

Follow these instuctions word for word:

http://legos.sourceforge.net/files/windows/cygwin/legOS-0.2.4.html

inserting 0.2.6 in place of 0.2.4 wherever it crops up and you'll • have
    no
problems. (Well, it worked for me using Win98 so hopefully it'll • work
    for
you)

Hi all,

I've been trying to get LegOS working on my Win XP machine using • the
cygwin emulator but I cannot execute "Makefile"; hence I • downloaded
"make"
from the fs foundation but I am new to this, so have no idea how • to
install
make --- generally I am stuck as to how to proceed with setting • up the

whole
thing properly to run legOS.

I've already followed numerous instructions over the net, but I • think
    my
lack of unix knowledge is showing terribly now:)

If anyone can help, I'd be really really grateful.

Cheers,
Sen
