TOS 1.04 sources reconstructed

[ThorstenOtto]

I've added now also binaries for win32 for the compiler tools. So using a decent shell, you can compile it now also on windows. The MSYS2 or cygwin environments can be used for that.

[avtandil]

To my knowledge there were no ST with SECAM. Actually, I’m not even sure version with modulator were sold here. By the time the ST was released, SCART connector with RVB was mandatory on all TV sets and all the French ST I’ve seen so far were PAL using the RVB out (there is no CVBS neither ).

BlankVector, what can you say about this ?

great.
I've just tried under Cygwin and I see following error under :

Hm, strange, that file is supposed to be generated by the "touch" utility if it does not exist. Do you have that installed? It should normally be part of the coreutils package. As a workaround, you can just create an empty file common/localcnf.h The file is not really used when you want to create a binary exact image, only when you want to also include some patches.

Edit: you also need to install the "bc" package. This is a package which is unlikely to be already installed.

[Cyprian]

Ive checked and I have installed "coreutils" 8.26-2

Interesting is that at the first time make complained about lack(?) of "bc". When I've installed it manually it has showed me that error.

I see that "touch" is installed:

Code: Select all

$ touch --help
Usage: touch [OPTION]... FILE...
Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.

A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h
is supplied.

A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to
change the times of the file associated with standard output.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -a                     change only the access time
  -c, --no-create        do not create any files
  -d, --date=STRING      parse STRING and use it instead of current time
  -f                     (ignored)
  -h, --no-dereference   affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced
                         file (useful only on systems that can change the
                         timestamps of a symlink)
  -m                     change only the modification time
  -r, --reference=FILE   use this file's times instead of current time
  -t STAMP               use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time
      --time=WORD        change the specified time:
                           WORD is access, atime, or use: equivalent to -a
                           WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to -m
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Note that the -d and -t options accept different time-date formats.

---EDIT---

now after "make clean" and "make" something was built

---EDIT2---
success. generated "tos104de.img" is exactly the same as the original "tos104de.img"

Thanks Thorsten

I agree with the above. I only know French STF and STE. Both are similar:
- only RGB output through SCART/Peritel
- no composite/CVBS. Hence no SECAM, and no PAL either. So it's impossible to record ST output with a standard VCR (unlike Super Nintendo for example which outputs both RGB and composite/PAL it its SCART/Peritel connector)
- no modulator for antenna output. French ST requires a TV or monitor with SCART/Peritel input.

I also installed bc manually.
Then I trying to make image and get following error:

C:/cygwin/bin/bc.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygreadline6.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

I see a faq about that issue"

Wow, what a fantastic topic. Amazing work ThorstenOtto. I think I agree with ijor regarding the older versions - reversing 1.02 and 1.00 would be pretty useful in the long run.

Trying to build tos306de with BINEXACT=0 and I get this....

make[1]: Entering directory '/Atari/tos2x/tos306de/bios'
AS startup.S
AS nvram.S
AS ikbdclk.S
AS chardev.S
& 1961: invalid opcode

Anyone seen this before ?

[ThorstenOtto]

TOS 3.x is a different archive

I cannot reproduce that currently. Maybe you should try downloading the current version again (http://tho-otto.de/download/tos306de.tar.bz2), possibly it is an old error which has already been fixed. If that does not help, try manually executing

Code: Select all

../bin/linux/cp68  -I../common -I../include -P  chardev.S chardev.i

to get a preprocessed file (the line number 1961 refers to this file, not the source). Then look at the offending line.

[alanh]

Perfect. Thanks. The new download did it.
