I guess I qualify, since I built the pre-build oskit for Debian. =) There are two patches required to make it build. I recommend just apt-get source'ing oskit and working from there. > - What is the label to use when getting OSKit-Mach from CVS? Better > yet, what is the exact command? If you're not comfortable with CVS, you can fetch a build from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/cvs/gnumach.tgz. It's updated nightly, and is setup so you can just use cvs update to keep it up to date. > - What configure options did you use to configure OSKit-Mach to > build against your local OSKit tree? Was cross compilation > involved? I sort'of cross-compiled it. If you fiddle a bit with mig (basically build it locally), any i[34567]86-elf compiler will do. In practice this means that you don't need to build a cross compiler if you're working on GNU/Linux or (I think) a recent version of FreeBSD. The tricky part is the `make' line, without which you have an Oskit-mach with no drivers. Currently I use ``make kernel-ide+ethernet_vortex+ethernet_lance+ethernet_ne2000'' which covers all I need on my machine and those of my friends. Adaptec support is b0rked is Oskit. gcc-3.1 will compile a usable oskit-mach fine (or it did a month or so ago. Roland hadn't applied his alpha changes, so I don't know anymore). It also compiled Oskit, but I haven't tried running the result of that one. Tks, Jeff Bailey -- One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures. -- George W.
