No, I don't have it working yet. However, I've made
progress, and I thought my experience might be
helpful to others who are more savvy with
the GNU tools than I am.
- I did get everything to compile. As Luis suggested,
the -nostdinc flag takes care of the redefined symbols
problem. I think I had to copy some of the lnp stuff
into the util directory to get dll to compile, but at
this point I can't remember for sure.
- Some confusion arises with executable file names. In
particular, the Makefile in util/dll-src tries to copy
executables up a directory level once they're built. Under
Win32, the names have .exe at the end which causes the copy
to fail. This also means "make clean" doesn't always work right.
- Perl scripts were a problem. The Perl interpreter expects
to be passed a Win32 path, but Cygwin passes the Cygwin
path, which could be very different depending on how
you've mounted your directories. Probably the easiest
way around this is to map your Cygwin directories directly
over your Win32 directories. I kluged through it by
mirroring my Cygwin structure under Win32 and copying the
Perl scripts there.
My current status:
- legOS is compiled and running on my RCX. Note that I did
have to use --slow for firmdl3, but then again my serial
ports under WinNT have always been a little strange.
- Everything in util is compiled.
- I'm able to make helloworld.lx.
- dll can't talk to the RCX, so I can't download user
programs. I guess lnp is not working there? I guess I
need to build the new compiler to get lnp working on the
RCX. But here my knowledge is very shakey.

| (...) It's quite possible that the -nostdinc line will block out the getopt.h mentioned in an earlier post. Could this be what you recall having to move? (...) This would be Markus's bit, but do we have anyone who knows cross-platform make stuff (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
