  HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
Hello, I downloaded LegOS for windows, but am having some problems. When I try and make the demo programs I get the following errors: C:\legOS\Demo>make makefile:16: ../Makefile.common: No such file or directory (ENOENT) makefile:17: (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
Make sure there is no "SHELL=" in the environment. If this exists, GNU make will attempt to use the specified shell program. I have found the MKS Toolkit is incompatible with this port of Make. It took me several days to realize the SHELL setting (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have had a look and no SHELL setting. Anyother clues ?? Cheers Ian (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

No suggestions, but I have the same problem, starting with: makefile:16: ../Makefile.common: No such file or directory (ENOENT) I tried changing the / to \, but it didn't seem to help. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I also tried to move the files into the "demo" directory and then change the makefile, but I still got the same error. Ian (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
Try changing the references to the include files from relative to absolute, e.g.: #include c:/legos/makefile.common #include c:/legos/makefile.user David, are you running Windows NT, also? If this is a Windows NT specific problem, once we have it (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
No difference ... I even tried moving the files into the current directory, but that also did not help. David, do you have anyother GCC software installed on your PC ? I will try this at work on my other WinNT machine (I do not have any other GCC (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have tried it also on my machine at work. Same problem. Both are WinNT boxes with NTFS file systems. Has anyone else got it working on WinNT with NTFS ?? Ian (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
I fooled around with legOS on an NT here at work and could get the individual commands from MAKEFILE to execute from the command line. It looks like NT doesn't properly handle the long filenames from within the make program (and possibly other (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
I have also tried the make that came with Ming32. This seems to work better, however I get the following: (line numbers added for clarity) 1>>C:\legOS\Demo>make 2>>Makefile:44: .depend: No such file or directory 3>>djecho -o response " -M -O2 (...)

  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
legOS under WinNT - the saga continues. I've done further investigation. Long filenames (LFNs) are not fully supported in a DOS shell in Windows NT. I found a utility that enables LFNs here: (URL) it runs fine up to MAKELX. So it looks like the fix (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: HELP - LegOS for Windows
 
(...) The DJGPP tools are 32-bit. It's a limitation of the DOS shell (COMMAND.COM & CMD.EXE) that is the problem. Cygwin doesn't have a command line limit problem, but it has its own unique headaches. Read the number of posts of people trying to get (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
