I'm trying to run nachOS-3.4 (see http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tom/nachos/ ) on FreeBSD and the nachOS code was written back in '94-'95. As such, the code relies on some older system libraries and gnu tools: # To build a cross-compiler using the gnu tools: # grab the tools via anonymous ftp % ftp prep.ai.mit.edu ftp> cd /pub/gnu # REMEMBER TO SET BINARY MODE ftp> binary # get gcc, binutils, gas -- these or later versions ftp> get gcc-2.4.5.tar.gz ftp> get binutils-2.2.1.tar.gz ftp> get gas-2.1.1.tar.gz ftp> quit Instead of fighting to install nachOS on my current FreeBSD-4.4 system (which has an updated unix system call interface and much later gnu tools) i'd rather install it on the system it was intended for (FreeBSD 2.0) so that i can follow along with the nachOS install instructions. Any suggestions greatly apprectiated. many thanks, o-> el To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
