Hi
We are a couple of 4th year Computer Science students who have been given the
enviable task of programming a set of 6 RCX's to do something "impressive"
(please forward any cool ideas for a project to
michael.yates@studentmail.newcastle.edu.au) anyhow in an attempt to start
along the path we have been investigating running legOS. Unfortunately we can
not seem to get it to compile under win95. We have followed a number of
howto's but it just doesn't seem to work. At the moment we are restricted to
developing under win95 (we do also have a solaris machine but we have read
that it too has some trouble getting legOS to run).

Anyhow has anyone gotten legOS 0.2.2 to run in win95?
We are trying to compile the distribution - the legOS site also has a link to
"ftp.webvision.com/pub/rcx-tools.ZIP" which is supposed to be an already
compiled set of tools for legOS. The preompiled tools would suit us down to
the ground, however the site has been down for at least the last two days and
I can not find the files linked anywhere else. Does anyone else have the .ZIP
that they could send me or tell me where else I could get the precompiled
tools from?
Alternatively is there anyonw who has written a really really good how-to or
anyone who has followd a really good howto and has gotten the distribution to
work correctly for version 0.2.2

thanks heaps for any help

michael

(...) There was a report at one point that someone could get the cross-compiler running on Solaris, but that never materialized. My own half-hearted attempts built binutils (a beta version which might not have actually worked anyway) but never made (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
