I'm looking at porting brickOS to FreeBSD. I guess the first step is to get the
crosscompiler etc. going. Which version of gcc and binutils is the best to use?

However, I have binutils-2.15 and gcc-3.4.0 running under linux and had only minor
problems.
In that case you should apply my gcc-3.3 patch, which fixes some bugs and
warnings in brickOS that the new gcc/binutils complain about. You can find it at

Most changes in this patch are related to the new binutils not gcc, though.

Thanks, I'm up and running using binutils-2.15, gcc-3.4-20041217 and your
gcc-3.3 patch to the cvs version of brickOS.

I also have the USB Tower working. Would the brickOS guys be interested in
FreeBSD patches to firmdl and dll?

(...) I think the latest official gcc-binaries for brickOS are still 2.95.x. However, I have binutils-2.15 and gcc-3.4.0 running under linux and had only minor problems. Make sure you compile gcc without the stdc++ libraries or just ignore the (...) (20 years ago, 9-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
