Notes for Linux platforms
For Debian/Ubuntu you can get prebuilt LWTOOLS and Toolshed from https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/m6809
Notes for Windows platforms
For Windows you can get prebuilt LWTOOLS from http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/contrib/tormod/
On Cygwin you might have to add "CC=gcc" to the "make" lines below. See also Building NitrOS9 in Windows using Cygwin
Obtain and build LWTOOLS
hg clone http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/hg/ lwtools cd lwtools make make install
This will build and install lwasm, lwlink, lwar and lwobjdump into your /usr/local/bin directory.
Obtain and build the Toolshed tools (if needed)
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/toolshed/code toolshed cd toolshed make -C build/unix install
This will build and install the toolshed tools into your /usr/local/bin directory.
Obtain and build NitrOS-9
Make sure lwasm is in your path, either by editing your shell startup scripts or by entering PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
in your active command shell.
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/nitros9/code nitros9 cd nitros9 export NITROS9DIR=$PWD make dsk
You should now find disk images have been created in the various directories. For instance, the boot disks for level 2, 6309 can be found in the level2/coco3_6309 subdirectory.
