So far I have added a 6809 version define in $NITROS9DIR/rules make as
that was only good for the 6309 version. I don't know of a reason it
would not build on a 6809 although there might be something 6309 specific
in nitros9.asm. Haven't looked as the build doesn't get that far.
I have disk space enough that I'd druther keep older versions around, they
have bailed me out on several occasions because I could go back and look
at known working code. boot_tc3.asm being a prime example, I got the clues
that let me fix that from a os9 pull before it was named nitros9.
Since the makefiles shipped in the level 3 directory are only a list with
no actions, I copied the level2 makefile in and adjusted it for level 3.
Now I have replaced all the "Level 3" string in the makefiles os9format
commands with "Level $(LEVEL)". This in the subdirs of level3
But just stepping into the level3 directory and typing make dsk bails out
very quickly. As follows:

and its done in 100 milliseconds.
So essentially nothing gets made, and I have not found where the bad
options being fed to lwasm are coming from. Notes interspersed with the
make output above.
That rel_32 error, and the OS9Defs error is also scattered throughout the
otherwise successful build of the rest of the dsk's as this was built.
I also note 2 other items, lwasm is being passed the --6309 flag for
everything, and ports.mak was never incorporated into the level3 tree.
Build fixing that underway now. I think...
2 hours later I have a 6309L3/coco3_6309 dsk built and mounted to /x0 in
drivewire, now all I have to do is concoct the mb and bootlist scripts.
Those 2 directories of the mountable image are empty. Everything else
seems to be there however.
But while I have a 63C09 in my machine, it seems like we ought to see if
we can redefine that --6309 flag being constantly fed to lwasm. I suppose
its possible that the makefiles, and the src code files can switch it in
and out, but it seems like a crash generator button that a typu could very
easily trigger on a 6809 powered machine.
Anyway, thats where I am for today. ?? Were there ever supposedly valid
mb and bootlist files for level 3?
And, are we still calling it 3.2.9? Seems like enough progress has been
made to call it 3.2.10, or if I can hack level3 into working, 3.3.0!
Cheers, Gene Heskett
