I did not have to "fix" this in the last pull of lwasm I did, its already
fixed. Perhaps your copy is the older one?
Here is that bash script, perhaps it can be adjusted to work on windowz
too?
#!/bin/bash
# since I'm always forgetting to sudo...
if [ `whoami` != 'root' ]; then
echo
echo "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
echo "this script needs to be run by root"
echo
echo
exit 1
fi
mv lwtools lwtools-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M) && \
hg clone http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/hg/ lwtools && \
cd lwtools && \
make && \
make install && \
cd .. && \
echo && \
echo && \
echo "lwtools has been built, next is toolshed" && \
echo && \
echo && \
chown -R gene:www-data lwtools # make visible to the web && \
mv toolshed toolshed-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M) && \
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/toolshed/code toolshed && \
cd toolshed && \
make -C build/unix install && \
cd hdbdos && \
make && \
cd ../.. && \
chown -R gene:www-data toolshed # make visible to the web && \
echo && \
echo && \
echo "toolshed has been built and installed, next is nitros9" && \
echo && \
echo && \
mv nitros9 nitros9-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M) && \
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/nitros9/code nitros9 && \
cd nitros9 && \
hg update lwtools-port # this step is temporarily needed && \
export NITROS9DIR=$PWD && \
mkdir dsks # this step is temporarily needed && \
make dsk && \
make dskcopy && \
cd .. && \
chown -R gene:www-data nitros9 && \
echo && \
echo && \
echo "this completes the build of lwtools, toolshed, and nitros9"
And thats it. Does it all, and since the "&& \" above, with a newline
IMMEDIATELY after the backslash, has the effect of making the whole script
into one command line, an error anyplace will stop it right there with the
error still on screen, not scrolled off in 300k of additional output so the
error has to be laboriously searched for in the consoles history
scrollback, if you even see it go by. No clue if that is at all valid on a
winderz boxen.
