[Oslib-devel] Re: makefile in examples directory?

[luca a. <l_...@ho...>]

Hi Bryce,

First of all, thanks for getting interested in oslib. I hope that it will be 
usefull to test bochs (BTW, thanks for all the great work that all you bochs 
guys are doing).

Coming to your problem, I think you are experiencing some kind of 
downloading fault...
Which sources are you using? Did you download the 0.1 release (osl-0-1.zip), 
the latest snapshot, or did you do a checkout from the CVS?

I just checked the CVS from the web interface, and the examples makefile is 
there... It also is in the 0.1 zip file.
So, I hope that downloading the 0.1 release from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oslib/
(or doing a CVS checkout from scratch) will solve your problem.

After unzipping the file, you will have to copy the correct mk/*.mk file in 
config.mk, and do make install (make all will fail because it does not 
install the libraries in the correct directory).
That should produce all the .xtn files in the examples directory.

Let me know if you have other problems.
(Warning!!! Due to a known bug in oslib - I never had the time to fix it -, 
the most recent versions of GRUB cannot be used... I am currently using 
version 0.5.95)

As a side note, I tried to run some oslib examples on bochs some time ago, 
but my code uses some strange PIT modes that were not supported by bochs. I 
see that the current version of bochs implements a more complete PIT model, 
hence I will try it again, and I'll let you know the results.

                                Luca
