There have been three messages recently about problems assembling Elvis,
so I suppose a net post is worthwhile. I put together versions 1 and 2 on
an XT with 640K of memory and a 130K ramdisk, under Minix 1.5.0. The trick
is to compile Elvis with the given makefile (you have to chmem at least one
of the compiler passes) and then delete the executable. (Version 1 crashed
in asld before producing an executable, but version 2 produced a duff
executable without complaint of any sort. On my machine it had a stack size
of -32100 bytes (ie. negative), which chmem wouldn't touch.) Then reassemble
all the .s files using either a command line prompt, or if you haven't the
energy, a shell script just for the asld command.
Don't ask me why this works.
Good luck - Will.
