Carsten-
I asked a local solaris guru, and he wrote me what could be a helpful
note on solaris aio. I've filed it (apparently) in the wrong folder, but
I'll try to post it tomorrow. He seems to believe that it wouldn't be all
that hard to make the stuff in dll work on Solaris. Like I said, I'll
find it tomorrow and pass it on to you.

Subject: LegOS 2.2 on solaris

G'day,

I succeeded in compiling and running legOS 1.7 on an intel solaris 2.7
machine.
However, as I would like to use  the networking features in 2.x, I tried
to compile
and run 2.2 as well. I can compile the package after modifying loader.c
in
util/dll-src/. The type of asynchronos communication used there seems
not to be
supported by solaris. As I'm not quite sure what's happening  in there
my
modifications obviously made some of the code break. So now I have (at
least I
think) a version 2.2 which is ok up to the point that  I can't use the
program dll. I can
download boot/legos.srec using firmdl3 ( using slow mode). So my
question is,
does anybody know how to port loader.c to solaris, or is it possible to
use 2.2
without dll, e.g. by compiling srec files like in the older versions (I
could live without
the dynamic loading features).

thanks for your help,
Carsten

Hi Luis, thanks for your help. I tried both versions, the one using aioread and the one using the ioctl. Both run better than before, but still don't work (both give similar results). I now get signaled when I can read from the serial port, but what (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
