Building NitrOS9 using Cygwin
This how-to will attempt to guide you through the process of making your own NitrOS9 disks from the latest source. Cygwin version 1.7.1 was used by the author.
Install Cygwin
If you do not already have Cygwin installed on your system, you will need to download and run the Cygwin setup.exe
You will need to select the following packages on the "Select Packages" screen:
cvs, gcc-core, make, zip
These are easy to find using the search box. You may want to install other things, but these are the only packages required to build NitrOS9.
Obtain and build the Toolshed tools
cd /usr/src cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@toolshed.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/toolshed co -P toolshed cd toolshed/build/win32 make mkdir ~/bin make install export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
Obtain and build NitrOS9
cd /usr/src cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nitros9.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nitros9 co -P nitros9 export NITROS9DIR=/usr/src/nitros9 cd nitros9 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 /usr/src/nitros9/level2/coco3_6309.
