legOS code checks a preprocessor define, CONF_RCX_COMPILER, I think, to
determine whether patched or unpatched compilers are used. The problem
is, I don't have an unpatched compiler around anymore. Also, I did all
my development with a patched compiler. So old-style support was added
quite late in the process, and it might be shaky.

A quick grep of the sources show that only a few things (other than lnp,
which depends very heavily on interrupts) need the interrupts- task
visualization and sound appear to be the two victims. If you don't need
these and don't want to worry about the compiler issues, just head to the
config.h for the project you are working on (or the global config.h in
boot/, just to be safe) and comment out the lines for sound,
visualization, and LNP.

Please understand that I am very busy right now. Later this week may
really mean Sunday.

We understand :)

Hi Luis, i got thes egcs-1.1.2 sources today and rebuilt the cross-compiler and legOS and -- it works now. Thanks a lot for your help !! Could you perhaps give me a starting point to get some understanding of how legOS works internally ? (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
