Hello, I recently bought the LEGO mindstorms Invention System kit and I am
trying to get brickOS v0.2.6 working on my PC (Win98). I also have the USB
tower.
So far, I have found 4 bugs in the current script. I was able to fix 3 them or
work around them.
1. .\configure has to be run after make realclean
2. unix2dos *.* must be performed in the \build\include\sys directory
3. make fontdesign has to be run before running 'make strip'
The fourth bug I am not sure how to fix. I will read the code some more to
figure out what is going on. I have a USB port on my PC, so I followed the
instructions at the end to use the USB tower:
"If you have the IR tower connected to a different com port you can change the
default with the instruction: "export RCXTTY=COMx". NOTE: if you have a USB
tower this is "export RCXTTY=USB""
However, when I did this, I get the following error when running
./firmdl3 ../boot/legos.srec
USB: No such file or directory
After glancing at the makefile and the source for firmdl3, it is apparent that
_WIN32 is not being defined in the make process despite its presence in the
Makefile:
#^M
# BEGIN-configuration insert (do not remove this line)^M
# -------------------------------------------------------
TOOLPREFIX=/usr/local/bin/h8300-hitachi-hms-
SED_SFLAG=
EXT=.exe
CC=gcc
CFLAGS+=-D_WIN32
MAKEDEPEND=$(CC) -M
BRICKOS_ROOT=/cygdrive/h/brickos-0.2.6.09.newConf2
# -------------------------------------------------------
# END-configuration insert (do not remove this line)^M
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this error? Thanks.

| Ok, I think I figured it out...I don't completely understand the logistics of makefiles, but I changed the following line in Makefile.common: Before: CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall After: CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall I suspect that a later assignment to CFLAGS was (...)
