Ross-
My deepest apologies, but the HOWTO is sadly out of date- it refers to
version 0.1.7 of the software, which is similar in many ways but
drastically different in the makefile system. I'd suggest looking through
the README file for better discussion of what to do there.

As far as the HOWTO goes, I have no summer job this summer, so this will
be a prime task for me. There will be a major update of the HOWTO and an
automatic addenda system by June. In the meantime, hope that you can
figure things out on your own :)

Hi, all.

Well, just spent the best part of the morning downloading & compiling
the h8300 cross-compiler. All worked perfectly, as per the instructions
in the HOWTO. (I tried the binaries first, but was getting strange
errors when I tried to compile LegOS, so gave up & compiled my own).

So now I get to the exciting bit, and the HOWTO says set the TARGET and
type make to create srec files. Well I couldnt find where to do this,
and could only see lx files in the demo directory. The only srec I found
was boot/LegOS.srec.

So how do I actually get the software into my RCX to play? My VERSION
file says pre-0.2.4.

Thanks,

ROSCO

Luis, No probs. I should have looked there first 8?) If you need something done, I'd be happy to document my experimentation, and mail it to you to include in the HOWTO. I also read on the NG that gcc 2.95.2 has a bit of a problem in some of the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
