|
|
Hello, I have spent several hours trying to install BrickOS on my Windows ME system. I am a novice with C/Cygwin/linux, so have been diligently searching the Lugnet posts for clues. That has gotten me a little farther each day, but now I am _really_ (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Thanks, Max, John, and Ed for your help. I will try some of the suggestions this afternoon after work. I will also post some more helpful output if someone will remind me how to port Cygwin output to a text file (and DOS output?) I read the command (...)

Ed, John, and Max, (et.al.?), Here's the output from one of my sessions. I started to follow some of John's instructions (got through the make strip alright, even though it's unnecessary), but I didn't want to go too deep until you people see the (...)

I ussually get this error message after I have done some upgrading Cygwin packages or installling new parts, etc. The best answer I have (and the one I use) is to reinstall Cygwin. (...)

(...) I am inclined to agree with Ed. I think your cygwin install is fouled up somehow. Can you check the version of the cygwin1.dll in your cygwin bin directory? I'm running 1.3.12-1 (which is a fairly old version). John Hansen (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) O.K. I will try a re-install of Cygwin, although I have re-installed at least four times previously. As I say, I get a little farther each time.
