Re: [Geekos-devel] Geekos compile with cygwin info request

[Alx B. <aob...@sy...>]

Thanks David! changing nasmw to nasm in the makefile helped me along.

Right now geekos-0.1.0 compiles for me on Win982E w/ cygwin but doesn't 
"work".

I think it's only fair that I send you back my few (pitiful) changes.
(The changed/added files are in an attached .zip file)

I added part of libsupc++ from FreeBSD to the directory structure for
__cxa_pure_virtual (I'm assuming this is what balks when a pure virtual 
C++ method
is called but I really don't now) and I commented out well, everything 
in it except
the skeleton of the function. I added pure.cpp (I changed the name from 
pure.cc
in libsupc++ to .cpp).

I changed the makefile to add the source for pure.cpp and the libsupcpp 
directory
(Again changed libsupc++  to libsupcpp.)

I changed nasmw to nasm in common.mak.

Now, I got geekos to compile and tried to run it in Bochs and here's 
what I got:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also start bochs with the -q option to skip these menus.

1. Restore factory default configuration
2. Read options from...
3. Edit options
4. Save options to...
5. Begin simulation
6. Quit now

Please choose one: [5]
00000000000i[     ] installing win32 module as the Bochs GUI
00000000000i[     ] using log file ./bochs.out
# In bx_win32_gui_c::exit(void)!
========================================================================
Bochs is exiting with the following message:
[MEM0 ] ROM: couldn't open ROM image file 
'/fs/unsupported/bochs/bochs/1.3/BIOS-
bochs-latest'.
========================================================================

Bochs is exiting. Press ENTER when you're ready to close this window.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again any advice regarding this would be greatly appreciated!
