yo group,
I used jcvs (in windows nt 4.0 )to checkout the JJOS project; i looked at
the code and found it extremely interesting;
so I booted linux (redhat 5.1) to build it;
I went to the directory where jcvs put the files (c:\temp\jjos, in linux
as /dos/temp/jjos);
the dir contains readme & install files, and also the a file called
build ( a shell script that calls the makefiles for making
the nativecode for host & i386);
the build file also has the rights to be executed (ie the file got xrw
rights, it should be executable);
but when I enter build (or ./build) it only tells me that it doesnt find
the file;
I then tried to do manually what the build file would do (go to the
/arch/host/nativecode dir & call make);
but make didn't get far, it immediatly stopped complaining about
missing separators;
I looked at the make files, and found that some lines were lacking
a "\" at the end, so I inserted this in (I think) all makefiles;
after that, make didn't complain about the separators,
but seemed to have troubles with the relative paths:
: No such file or directory../../common/bytecode/Makefile
'. Stop. No rule to make target `../../common/bytecode/Makefile
when calling make in /jjos/arch/host/nativecode/;
well, thats obvious, cause if after doing ".." twice, you're only in
/jjos/arch/ while the common dir, is in /jjos;
so to solve this problem, I looked at some makefiles for this code and
changed that relative path to an absolute path, but that didnt change
anything;
after all that trouble, I copied the jjos dir to my linux partition,
I thought that my troubles might be caused, because I had the jjos
dir on my fat partition;
but that didnt change anything;
so I kept fooling around, and found some other make output:
[root@localhost bytecode]# make
: No such file or directoryystem/Makefile:1:
/jjos/common/bytecode/jos/system/event/Makefile
/jjos/common/bytecode/jos/system/Makefile:4: *** missing separator. Stop.
the path is valid; it seems that I forgot to add the separator in this file;
so, I think that's all; I hope my description is detailed enough;
maybe my system in short again:
cvs client: jcvs;
linux: redhat 5.1, german version, I didnt change anything
in the development tools;
also installed the nasm & etherboot correctly;
jdk: blackdown jdk 1.1.7;
hope someone can help me there;
