- I have noted a behaviour closely resembling the above, in
- attempting to run my freshly-compiled MiNT 1.08. I've tried it
- only in TT-med, and I only have ST ram on my system.
-
- I used gcc 2.4.2 to compile the executable, with the -DMULTITOS
- switch.
-
- Abnormal behavior:
-
- MiNT loads normally, then the Multitos welcome screen appears;
- accessories are loaded. Then, just before the desktop shows up,the
- system soft-crashes and all the accessories are killed. The
- desktop appears, but the colours look slightly corrupted.
-
- >From that point on, almost every application I've tried to run
- crashed. Curiously, the landmines game that comes with the
- Multitos distribution, worked. So did procalc.
-
- At first, I thought the compiler or the minor changes I've done to
- the Makefile could be at fault, but now it looks like it might
- have to do with the source?
