- I've been trying to put together a development environment based on MiNT 0.95,
- KSH 04A, MW2, and GNU CC, in order to write an application. While I've printed
- reams of documentation, I'm having some trouble getting everything to
- cooperate, and I'd really appreciate it if some of the more experienced users
- would help me get past some problems.
-
- 1. I'd like to start up GEM from MiNT first off, so I can choose between TOSWIN
- and MW2, or use Uniterm. I achieve this by not having an INIT.PRG, since
- GEM.PRG is no longer included in MiNT 0.95. Should I be using the old
- GEM.PRG instead? If I run it, do my environmental variables get stomped
- on by GEM, or will they be accessible by later shells?
-
- In any case, after MiNT boots GEM, I start MW2 using KSH.TOS -- and it
- doesn't recognize that it is a login shell -- so I have no environment. I
- must then manually load PROFILE.KSH and KSHRC.KSH. Is there a better way
- to set this up? Having to manually load these for each new shell is a
- pain!
-
- 2. When I run GNU Make, all I get is an "Out of memory" message. This is true
- even when I have nothing loaded besides MiNT and KSH; this is a Mega ST4.
- Is there another reason for getting this message?
-
- 3. Where in the GNU archives on atari.archive is the startup module crt0? I
- have the GNU libraries and GCC binaries, but didn't get this piece.
-
- 4. I'm assuming that I can use these programs without going to a MINIX file-
- system. Is this still true?
-
- 5. How do I start MiNT BASH properly? Will Ver 1.10 work with TOS filesystems?
- When I ran BASH.TTP from GEM (after starting with MiNT), I had an
- /etc/PROFILE and used a -rcfile BASHRC (both of these files were defined)
- in order to bypass the UNIXMODE filenames. What I got was lots of error
- messages, and only the last several characters of each line in the PROFILE
- file were displayed. Any ideas what went wrong?
-
-
- If all of this seems too muddled, I apologize. I've spent a couple of weeks
- printing out the GNU documentation using CS TEX (great package) and I've
- dutifully read everything else I could print out... No luck. So far I've just
- had tantalizing glimpses of what might be possible.
-
- I'd really enjoy seeing someone else's functional setup using some of these
- programs. All I've had so far is Mark William's C, and I want to start using
- ANSI C, MiNT, and C++ soon.
-
- Heartfelt thanks for any help straightening this out!
