Re: [MiNT] Daily mintv4e.prg

[Heinz Schmidt <heinz.schmidt.atari@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

this is great news and amazing stuff.

I just received my FireBee and immediately tried to use today's trunk build. Being a bit rusty on a simple MinT setup, I'm not sure what I'll have to do to quickly make it boot on my FireBee. I just extracted the contents of the trunk archive, copied it to C: on my CF card deleted all but the mintv4e.prg, edited mint.cnf to set gem to xaaes. and started it up. It starts booting but ends up in a loop telling:

pid 0 (MiNT) : doing timeout code for pid 2
pid 2 (update): Syncing filesystems ...
pid 2 (update): Syncing done

I guess this is all fine and I'm just missing things in my Mint installation and/or my mint.cnf is just crap.

Who could kindly jump start me on a quick and simple Mint setup for the FireBee? 

Kind regards and BIG, BIG thank you to every one who contributed to ForeBee and MiNT,

Heinz Schmidt

Hello.

Thanks to Alan's latest commit, the daily FreeMiNT trunk archive now contains a fully functional mintv4e.prg which works perfectly over FireTOS on the FireBee.
http://www.freemint.org/builds/freemint/

xaaesv4e.km is also fully functional, but it has already been the case for a long time.

The above 2 components will be updated every night, as usual, ready to use for FireBee/FireTOS users.

The other components (ext2.xfs, xaloader.prg...) are not automatically built for ColdFire, we will have to update the daily build script and/or the makefiles in order to build them.
