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_ stuck.  I am following the web pages "brickOS 0.2.6.10
Instructions for
installing on
Win9x/NT/2000/XP" by Paolo Masetti, and "brickOS step-by-step with
cygwin" by (I'm not online and can't check it.)

I've got Cygwin 1.3.22-1 installed.  I installed BrickOS 0.2.6.10.  My
Path
command looks like this:


PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\CYGWIN;C:\CYGWIN\BIN;C:\CYGWIN\H8300-0
00821\H-I686-CYGWIN32\BIN;

Problem #1 (really #314):
When I do "make strip" in /BrickOS/util, I get an error:

strip:  fontdesign.exe: no such file or directory
(From what I gather, this may not really be a significant problem?)

Problem #2:
When I type

./firmdl3  ../boot/brickOS.srec

it can't find the brickOS.srec.  It's not in the /boot directory.  I
can't find
it anywhere.  What command produces brickOS.srec?

Aha! Problem #3:
When I run Make in the BrickOS directory, I get an error message about
Random.c having some undeclared routines.  Maybe this is causing all
the following "makes" to be skipped?  I am not enough of a C programmer
yet to feel that I can fix Random.c.

I'm so close to the RCX I can _taste_ it!  Any help would be much
appreciated and probably save my sanity.

OK, the best way to get help is:
* Start with the *first* problem which occurs. Problem #3 is very likely the
cause of #1 and #2.
* Show *exactly* the commands you typed and the error output produced.

Remember, the more info you give, the more likely someone will be able to
see what the problem is.


Max.
