Re: [ros-kernel] compiling

[Royce M. I. <ro...@ev...>]

I've been looking around a little bit, and playing with it, and I'm finding
a lot of stuff missing.

For example, I have a batch file that sets up my MinGW environment. I tried
to run it, and my PATH environment variable came out like this:

PATH=C:\MinGW\Bin;%PATH%

My include and lib variables are similarly broken.

So, I'm thinking I could start by adding support for that. I've already
found the function I need to change in NTDLL.DLL
(RtlSetEnvironmentVariable), and I've pasted it into a test app so I can
modify, and test it without rebooting frequently.

Unless somebody's already working on that, I'll do it.

Then, as you suggested, I'm going to start "hacking". I can't run Norton
Commander, yet, and I'd like to get that working. I also noticed that EDIT
and MC don't work, either. Personally I feel it would be critical that the
command prompt work well :)
