Yet I've not received any replies about Mr. Chris's mail about oskit10. If I'm missing, please ignore. Now I'm trying to compile Fiasco with oskit10, which I've downloaded from CVS on 14/Dec/1999.

Is it possible to compile fiasco based on oskit10? I think there are some files missing (flux/*/*)??

I think, yet porting of fiasco onto oskit10 is not completed. The "flux" was a directory under old OSkit tree. +-- l4 ... | +-- oskit + flux - x86 - ... | | | ... | +-- oskit10 - oskit - x86 ... | +-- linux22 In the recent OSkit, the "flux" is renamed "oskit". Several macros in the old OSkit (especially the most basic type-declarations in flux/x86/types.h) were removed in the recent OSkit, so, making symbolic-link from oskit to flux does not solve the problem completely. (in following, "oskit directory" means oskit10/oskit, "flux directory" means oskit/flux.) Furthermore, editing the original files under "oskit" directory is not recommended. Because, a few types are used in Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD device drivers, with different declaration (I found vm_offset_t, vm_size_t, boolean_t). If editing the original files I creadted "flux" directory, copied files from "oskit", and rewrote all #include <oskit/machine... to #include <flux/machine... , and added following declarations to types.h. /* ******************************************** compatibility for old OSKit flux/x86/types.h ******************************************** */ #ifndef _FLUX_X86_TYPES_H_ #define _FLUX_X86_TYPES_H_ typedef oskit_u32_t natural_t; typedef oskit_addr_t vm_offset_t; typedef oskit_size_t vm_size_t; typedef oskit_s8_t signed8_t; typedef oskit_s16_t signed16_t; typedef oskit_s32_t signed32_t; /* originally signed long */ typedef oskit_s64_t signed64_t; typedef oskit_u8_t unsigned8_t; typedef oskit_u16_t unsigned16_t; typedef oskit_u32_t unsigned32_t; typedef oskit_u64_t unsigned64_t; typedef oskit_f32_t float32_t; typedef oskit_f64_t float64_t; typedef oskit_bool_t boolean_t; typedef oskit_s8_t signed_min8_t; typedef oskit_u8_t unsigned_min8_t; typedef oskit_s32_t signed_min16_t; typedef oskit_u32_t unsigned_min16_t; typedef oskit_s32_t signed_min32_t; typedef oskit_u32_t unsigned_min32_t; #endif /* _FLUX_X86_TYPES_H_ */ Sorry for without patch, still I could not complete the building of Fiasco with oskit10, and my working directory is too ugly. Some sources for Fiasco kernel are already rewritten to use "oskit" instead of "flux", but RMGR and SIGMA0 are still using "flux" directory. Taking a glance on Mr. Michael's patch (porting Fiasco onto new OSkit), it seems that the patch modifies Fiasco kernel, and RMGR and SIGMA0 are left...? Mr. Michael, Please let me know, RMGR and SIGMA0 will be ported onto oskit10 in future? or, they are already ported and I'm missing any points? My building was stopped in building RMGR. $ ld -o rmgr -T rmgr.ld \ crt0.o startup.o rmgr.o oskit_support.o \ exec.o globals.o init.o memmap.o trampoline.o \ irq.o cfg-parse.o cfg-mem.o \ -L/home/drops/lib -L../../../../lib \ -L../../../../../oskit10/lib \ -loskit_kern -loskit_exec -loskit_c -loskit_lmm ../../../../../oskit10/lib/liboskit_c.a(printf.o): In function `flush': printf.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `console_putbytes' $ ld -o rmgr -T rmgr.ld \ crt0.o startup.o rmgr.o oskit_support.o \ exec.o globals.o init.o memmap.o trampoline.o \ irq.o cfg-parse.o cfg-mem.o \ -L/home/drops/lib -L../../../../lib \ -L../../../../../oskit10/lib \ -loskit_kern -loskit_exec -loskit_c -loskit_lmm \ -loskit_kern -loskit_exec -loskit_c -loskit_lmm ../../../../../oskit10/lib/liboskit_kern.a(base_console_init.o): In function `base_console_init': base_console_init.o(.text+0x2c6): undefined reference to `main' I'm afraid that the recent oskit cannot be used for the server...? suzuki
