For my CoCo 3/6309 build, I could do this instead: make dsk PORTS=coco3_6309Īfter this, you will have all the sources, and have built all (or some) of the sample disk images for various types of hardware (CoCo 1/2, Cor 6309, CoCoSDC controller versus floppy or IDE hard drive, etc.).
I always build everything, but you can also specify to build just a specific port.
(i.e., if you are only interested in a Csetup, why build all the CoCo 1/2 and Dragon versions, or any of the 6309 stuff?). This will build absolutely everything, including tons of ports and disk images you likely do not want. Now we are ready to download and build NitrOS-9. Once again, I start in my “Downloads/CoCo” directory, and issue the following hg commands to download all the NitrOS-9 stuff: Not sure what this is, but it seems to be building HTML documentation or something.) (Note: Mine seems to fail looking for a command “markdown” at the very end. (Note: I had to use “sudo make…” here to get it to build on my system.) The different build/make process shows the different styles of the various developers that made these tools. Once again, I do these steps from my “Downloads/CoCo” directory: This is a series of command-line utilities that operate on CoCo/OS-9 disk images (like those used with emulators and the CoCoSDC interface). It will build the directory you specify from the command line (“lwtools”): hg clone lwtools I chose a poor location - “CoCo” inside my Downloads folder:įrom this directory, use the “hg” command to obtain and build the tools. These are the cross-compiler tools used to build 6809 source code from Mac/Windows/Linux systems. From a Terminal prompt, find a directory you want to download the lwtools to. This time, it refused, and I had to temporarily allow “Anywhere.” Not sure what’s up with that.) After the install, you will have the “hg” command available. The last time I did this, “Open Anyway” would let me bypass the security settings I am using. If you get this message, go in to your System Preferences “Security & Privacy” control panel and tell it to allow the installer to run: There are several ways to download it using various package managers (Fink, MacPorts, etc.) but I don’t have this installed so I am just using the standalone installer:ĭepending on your Mac OS X security settings, it may complain that this is from an unknown developer and refuse to run. I had 3.2 the last time I did this, and currently it looks like 3.8 is available. The NitrOS-9 repository uses Mercurial as version control.
