[Coco] NitrOS9 build instructions....

[David Ladd]

This is what I fallow on Linux systems that use apt-get like Ubuntu,
Raspbian, Debian.
I also normally have a personal source folder in my user home directory.
This is where I do most of my work.

You will of course have to change these steps or modify for your use as
needed, but otherwise these are the steps I do on fresh installs of Linux

1) make sure you have mercurial installed.  If you have apt-get would
normally be:
sudo apt-get install mercurial

2) you will need to acquire lwtools and build them
hg clone http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/hg/ lwtools
make -C lwtools && sudo make -C lwtools install

3) you will need to acquire Toolshed Project and build
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/toolshed/code toolshed-code
make -C toolshed-code/build/unix && sudo make -C toolshed-code/build/unix
install

4) now you need to acquire NitrOS-9 project and build
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/nitros9/code nitros9-code
cd nitros9-code
make && make dsk && make dskcopy
The final disk images should be in a sub directory called dsks


Again these are the steps I take to build lwtools, Toolshed Project, and
the NitrOS-9 Project.  Your mileage may very and customization might be
needed.
