    BrickOS on Mac OS X —Matt Van Wormer
   I'm trying to compile BrickOS on Mac OS X. I'm actually surprised at how well it's been going considering it looks like no one has tried it yet. I've compiled gnu binutils-2.13.1 hosted on darwin6.4, targeted at h8300. That seemed to work fine out (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

     (...) ... (...) This is a bug in binutils versions 2.12.2, 2.13 and 2.13.1 . Get the latest binutils (2.13.2.1). Max. (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
   
        Re: BrickOS on Mac OS X —Ed Manlove
   Matt, I have been working with Michael Zapp on "porting" brickOS to the Mac OS X. We too had a fairly easy time with the binutils (ver 20020918). And both of us had issues with GCC although we have been working on Ver 3.1. I have not kept up with (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
   
        Re: BrickOS on Mac OS X —Matt Van Wormer
     Ed, thanks for the quick response. I wrote out a reply, deciding that I would scrap 2.95 and just go for 3.1, but then I got an email pointing out the problem I was having was a bug in binutils. So now with binutils-2.13.2.1, everything compiles (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
    
         Re: BrickOS on Mac OS X —Michael Zapp
      (...) I'll have to look at that. I currently have the compiler working from the GNU source but haven't been able to get the C++ BrickOS tests to compile. I used the raw GNU source, version 3.2.2 but I'll look at the darwin stuff (couldn't find it (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
     
          Re: BrickOS on Mac OS X —David Chen
      Man, this is fantastic. Since moving over to OS X about a year and a half ago, I've been ignoring my RCX (retired the tired/crash prone PC forever!! Running Linux now though) and haven't played with it for lack of a development environment for OS X. (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

      (...) Dave, We look forward to hearing how these tools work out for you. You should try Michael Zapp, (URL) about the USB applications. Ed (21 years ago, 16-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
    
         Re: BrickOS on Mac OS X —Michael Zapp
     (...) Well, I've had a pretty successful couple of days... If you go to (URL) you will find a tar ball that contains all of the Brick OS utilities compiled for OS X. I've tested them and have successfully downloaded BrickOS and a couple of their (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
   
        Re: BrickOS on Mac OS X —Michael Zapp
   (...) At this point I have a working compiler and have successfully compiled BrickOS (except for the C++ tests, which I have to look into). I'm working on the USB stuff and making some progress (see my other post...). If you're interested in trying (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
