Carlos,
Last time I checked you were unable to compile the kernel using winLegOS or
DJGPP. For those not familiar with the inner workings on winLegos it is
essentially a pre-built Hitachi cross-compiler with several gnu utilities
running under MS-DOS. This was made possible by use of DJGPP, a port of
several GNU Tools to MS-DOS. Actually there really isn't (or should not be)
anything called winLegOS since it is all GNU Tools, DJGPP ports of GNU
Tools, or legOS pre-compiled utilities. I guess the last gives some
justification to the labeling.
I have done some work at upgrading the information on DJGPP or at least the
steps to build the cross compiler. This can be found at
http://brickos.sourceforge.net/docs/install-DJGPP.html. I also have a
couple of patches for brickOS 0.2.6.09 and 0.2.6.10. This allows for better
configuration and an issue with getopt.h files. I have been busy lately
(MATLAB Programming Contest!!! See
http://www.mathworks.com/contest/trucking.cgi/home.html) and have not been
able to coordinate an upload of the revised DJGPP/GNU tools for brickOS. And
since DJGPP is not Win32 there is an issue with USB towers (i.e. it is not
supported!).
Besides I really don't think anyone is using winLegos anymore or really
wants to.
