I have been trying for a while to compile the networking code in Minix 1.5.10 for the PC but I have encountered a few problems to say the least. First of all, I have included the -DAM_KERNEL option in amoeba/mm and -DAM_KERNEL plus -DNONET in amoeba/mm and amoeba/kernel, in order to get the networking stuff running on just the local machine before I try it with the Ethernet boards. At the moment I don't have an Ethernet board on my machine but I believe that this is what the local configuration is for. The first error I got happened when the amoeba/kernel code was compiled. I had to change in the amoeba/kernel/Makefile the references to mpx.x and klib.x, to mpx88.x and klib88.x accordingly. I do not have by the looks of things mpx.x and a klib.x file. The system continued compiling after this alteration. Then after it finished compiling the kernel, I got an error stating that there was an unresolved reference to "_net_ini" which I pressumed came from the keyboard.s file but I didn't worry because I am not using an ethernet card anyway(should I have worried?). The BIG PROBLEM came when the ../tools/MAkefile was executed, trying to make net. Apparently I do not have the file amoeba/kernel/kernel that it required! Am I missing an executable file kernel from amoeba/kernel??? I saw that there is an executable amoeba/mm/mm and amoeba/fs/fs but no amoeba/kernel/kernel....... CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE ON EARTH AM I GOING WRONG..... I have worked on the problem for a while and unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with an answer. Suggestions, solutions, pointers, ideas...anything is more than welcome. -- =============================================================== |George Patapis---------------------TA PAN METRON ARISTON------ |gpatapis@macadam.mqcs.mq.oz.au ------------------------------- ===============================================================
