Re Z80<->8088, was: Linux on TI?

1999-09-17 Thread Henrik Sorensen

Hi
Just my nickle worth...

As far as I was told, the Zilog company was founded by some developers from Intel that 
 disagreed on the calling convention(and probably other things too).
As to the 8/16 bit I dont remember the Zilog code, but then again at takes one word 
from an expert to end a discussion, and I'm no expert.
Also I was given the impression that the 8086 was a Military grade of the 8088. But 
Intel has used a lot of energy to downgrade their top CPU to satisfy more market 
segments. So the 8088 might be a civilian version of the 8086.

missin timezone, and a bcc-cc1 error

1999-09-08 Thread Henrik Sorensen

Hello

I got past the FILE *in =sdtin; problem as a result from the input from this list.

I've gotten a bit further. When compiling elksemu/elks_sys.c
  I get an error in line 557 (and 580?) about the tz size is unknown.
I figured the problem was with the struct timezone. So I copied the 
/usr/include/time.h to the directory edited the file and added the struct from the 
elks/include/time.h and removed the reference to extern long int timezone.
This helped.

1) What have I done wrong in my installation since I had to do this.
2) Wont there be a conflict at link time when there exist a 'struct timezone' and a 
'long int timezone' ?

After doing a 'make all' from linux-86, I tried doing an /elks/make (after doing make 
config; make dep; make clean.)

 But I get the error bcc: 'exec of bcc-cc1 failed'
bcc -D__KERNEL__ -O -I../include  \
-0 -c -o sched.o sched.c
bcc: exec of bcc-cc1 failed
bcc: error unlinking /tmp/bcc2248

3) Is this a result of my tampering with time.h ? Or have I gone avry somewhere else ?


  Thanks

   Henrik

Q: get compile error compiling objdump85

1999-09-07 Thread Henrik Sorensen

Hello 

I'm just starting into the ELKS system.
I'm atempting a make in linux-8086, and I encounter the following error in the ld 
directory 
'objdump86.c:19: initializer element is not constant'

I'm running on a Linux Red Hat 6.0 2.2.5-15 #1 Mon Apr 19 22:21:09 EDT 1999 i686
using GCC gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release).
I'm using it out the box so to speak.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong ? Or where I should go look ?

Where are the gcc error codes explained ?

  Sincerely

 Henrik
