[Coco] To NitrOS-9 developers: Errors in build

[Bill Pierce]

Thanks for all the work Tormod... It just gets that much closer each time someone works on it. There were just too many changes made before the previous ones were ironed out and it's all snowballed. The repo has not been fully buildable since 03.02.08 was released. At least not as far as I know. Maybe even longer.

Subject: [Coco] To NitrOS-9 developers: Errors in build


Hi,
I won't have time to work more on the nitros9 builds for the next
weeks. I am also done with the low-hanging fruit that I can fix
without knowing nitros9 code and history.

The build.log reveals a few issues left. I usually do a grep -B1
":.*error" on it to get an overview of errors, in addition to search
for "Error". Just searching for "error" gives too many hits on the
actual file called error :)

- Many targets want to copy "ccbkrn". Revision 2655 removed ccbkrn,
from what I can see in the "hg log". Is it something that should be
put back? Otherwise all references to it should be cleaned out.

- The Dragon builds are broken. It references an "acia51" file that is
not there (serial port driver I guess). There are also some other
errors.

Apart from that there are not many errors left. More can be broken
without giving build errors though :)

On MingW lots is broken, it ends up with 100 (out of 185 on Linux)
items in the dsks folder, of which many probably is incomplete. "os9
copy" from toolshed seems to have some issues on Windows. I believe
Bob saw the same issues on Cygwin and I guess it is in general the
same brokenness on Cygwin as on MingW.

Best regards and happy coding,
Tormod
