dcfreedev is hard to setup and uses an outdated version of kos.

did you uninstall the old version first?

Code::Blocks is nice, Dev-C++, also, and Eclipse is, too. The only problem is that Eclipse is so large and would take up so much room on the CD that you wouldn't have much room for config. Plus it adds all this Java support you don't need, then you'd need the C/C++ plugin. But Eclipse is pretty, albeit large.

Question.
I"m trying to get back to learning Unix (awk, sed, vi, regular commands) can this DcDev ISO allow me to do that?

well apart from make and gcc there souldn't be any other standard unix commands in there.
You can install cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) if you want an unix-like environment in windows.

Yeah, the Dev ISO installs Cygwin.

well according to him the ISO installs Cygwin but strips all standard Unix commands.

true? not true?

Nah. You can use ls, cd, etc. I know because I've used them before.

I was recompiling kos-ports, and this happened:

Can someone confirm this to me?

you should probably click excluir. I'm pretty sure what happened is that it's using some sort of heuristics that for some reason identify a compiled 'load_wav.o' as something commonly found in that malware/virus.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Actually, it does go to the KOS directory, but the prompt line doesn't show which directory we're in:

I had to manually add the PATH=/bin:$PATH line to /etc/profile in order to get the "ls" command working. Take a look at this:

There is no home directory, there's only a few files in /etc, and probably there's a lot more missing.

I may have done something wrong. When installing the DC Dev ISO R2 for the first time (thursday, when I made the above post) I forgot to uninstall the old version of cygwin first (that's what happens when you do this kind of stuff late at night). When I noticed this on the next day I went on to uninstall cygwin so I could reinstall everything the right way. Cygwin wasn't listed in the "Add/remove programs" window, and I couldn't find any kind of uninstaller for it on my start menu, so I just deleted the C:\CYGWIN directory. And then I reinstalled the DC Dev ISO R2 following each step perfectly, and got these results.

First off I just wanted to say don't try to mount the CD image on a virtual drive. It seems to have problems when mounting it on a virtual drive.

Fragger and WGR7: I don't know much, but I do know "profiles" is supposed to have more information than that. You should check the way you're installing Cygwin.

Ross L.: I'm not sure if the URL is still right, but the subversion package on the CD has a set of instructions to do just that. It just doesn't do it for you.

Yes, mounting it in Alcohol doesn't work, so I extracted the contents with IsoBuster. And for some reason no data-data images burns correctly here.

When reinstalling it I followed the instructions accurately. The problem must be somewhere else, and I think it must be related to having a previous version of cygwin installed. Deleting the old cygwin directory may not be enough to uninstall it correctly.

Offtopic, but have you tried using BootDreams to burn DiscJuggler images?

I dunno what's the prob with Cygwin. Maybe someone else can help you.

I had the same problem with the BASH-Shell. There was only the Prompt "BASH-3.00$". And I can?t see some path, but the path creation works you just can?t see it. It was the first time I tried to setup KOS. I had not installed KOS or Cygwin and things like that before.

But after I typed

Code: Select all

PATH=/bin:$PATH

in the Profile file in \Cygwin\etc\ and then typing make in the BASH shell the installiation proceeded. I think it was the path that you start in the BASH shell, \Cygwin\bin\.

After a german tutorial I made my first image with hello.c in the dreamcast\examples\ directory, but they say I would only see a black screen and no "Hello World!". Could that be?

Is GCC installed with or ready to install with the ISO from Lyingwake? Is there an easy way to integrate a compiler? If I search in the Cygwin Directory for GCC there are many matches.
