From fnaumann@mail.cs.uni-magdeburg.de Fri Nov 7 23:07:35 2003 Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 16:55:53 -0500 (EST) From: Jim DeClercq To: mint_list Subject: [MiNT] general complaint/what the heck Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Delivered-To: mint@fishpool.com Delivered-To: mint@lists.fishpool.fi X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: mint-bounce@lists.fishpool.fi Errors-to: mint-bounce@lists.fishpool.fi X-original-sender: jimd@panix.com Precedence: bulk List-help: List-unsubscribe: List-ID: X-List-ID: I started MiNT, 1.15.12, xaaes, teradesk, toswin, to at least think about compiling something. Toswin window, bash, look at file structure for where gcc might want its files. Pico, to make up a hello.c file, to make sure that gcc was installed. gcc hello.c worked. Read man gcc and info gcc, to see where the default paths were. Quit toswin to move some files to where they belong. Restart toswin window intending to look at man make, to see if make could do a make file faster than me, and bash caused a bus error, and after that shutdown did not work, file not found. After that my u drive had many errors, and when those were fixed, was missing many files, including hello.c, hello.tos, and all the .c and .h files I had put where they belonged. EasyMiNT installer got bus errors from RPM, and could not find makefile. This happened several times. GEMAR tried to put files back, and MiNT directed them to the root of u, not to the structure they belonged in. What seems to have resulted in the ability to reload most, but not all, yet, of the files I used to have, was a very cold boot, by turning my TT030 off for about 15 minutes, and starting EasyMiNT installer from its beginning. All through this, TOS worked fine. Any guesses as to what happened? xaaes is 963, I think, Teradesk is the latest, toswin is 2.6.
