How to recompile (under AmigaDOS)
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need a fairly complete unix programming environment. You also need
|
||
|
|
gcc, I don't think any of the commercial compilers could recompile the
|
||
|
|
kernel. The central configuration directory is sys/arch/amiga/conf. CD
|
||
|
|
there, and take a look at the file AMIGA. Things you might change in
|
||
|
|
this file are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
timezone: change to your timezone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options: comment out modules you don't need, to make the kernel
|
||
|
|
smaller. Good candidates for exclusion are probably
|
||
|
|
the ISOFS (CD filesystem), ISO and TPIP (implement OSI
|
||
|
|
sockets). PCFS is entirely untested, so you might
|
||
|
|
get rid of it as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
config: this is a vital line, it tells BSD where to find the
|
||
|
|
root filesystem and the swap partition. The device
|
||
|
|
name is composed of `sd', which is the disk driver,
|
||
|
|
the unit number (6 in the distributed file), and the
|
||
|
|
partition (A==root).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disk: make sure there's an entry for your SCSI unit, the
|
||
|
|
kernel as distributed supports drives at units 0, 1 and
|
||
|
|
6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tape: if you don't have a tape drive, you can remove those
|
||
|
|
entries, and save some space in the kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pseudo-device: you can safely remove `sl' and `bpfilter', please don't
|
||
|
|
remove `ite', or you'll end up without a console...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you're happy with the config file, you have to run it thru the
|
||
|
|
config program. config is included in the bin directory of this
|
||
|
|
distribution, together with the loader. In sys/arch/amiga/conf, do
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
config AMIGA
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After a moment, config reminds you to do a make depend, well, you can't,
|
||
|
|
there's no mkdep at the moment;-) Just make sure all object files of
|
||
|
|
previous runs are removed, then `make', and cross fingers. The make
|
||
|
|
process will need some binaries found in the bin directory of this
|
||
|
|
distribution, so add bin to your PATH before starting the compilation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The distributed console bitmap font is *UGLY*. I'd strongly suggest
|
||
|
|
you CD to sys/arch/amiga/stand/dumpfont, and generate a new font source
|
||
|
|
file containing the topaz.font of AmigaOS. This looks *much* nicer
|
||
|
|
than the free Mach font, but since it is part of AmigaOS, it is
|
||
|
|
owned by Commodore, and may not be redistributed, you'll have to regenerate
|
||
|
|
it, sorry. Dumpfont will output a new source file to stdout. Redirect
|
||
|
|
this output to a file, and then copy it to sys/arch/amiga/dev/kernel_font.c.
|
||
|
|
If you can't get dumpfont working on your system (or if you're
|
||
|
|
crosscompiling from a non-amiga system), copy the ugly
|
||
|
|
sys/arch/amiga/dev/kernel_font.c.distrib to sys/arch/amiga/dev/kernel_font.c
|
||
|
|
instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run into problems recompiling, configuring, etc. first try to
|
||
|
|
find a solution yourself. I would prefer to work on BSD than to answer
|
||
|
|
tons of email, but if you're really stuck, you can reach me at mw@eunet.ch.
