Hello, There isn't (yet) any runtime support for C++ programs in the operating system (Visopsys), but I think you'll find that the C is programmed in a fairly object-modelled way. There are problems building from source in Ubuntu >= 10. The linker does some fancy/unusual things with the object files...

Hi Mac, Here's a link to my latest development ISO: http://visopsys.org/files/misc/partlogic-2011-08-26-iso.zip No special instructions; hopefully it will "just work" ;) I've made quite a few important changes to the way USB controllers, hubs, and devices are handled, so I'm very intereste...

No worries, thanks for replying.

Yes, USB support has been a bit spotty so far.

However, I've been working on it pretty intensively over the last couple of weeks. If I were to provide you with a version built from my latest sources, would it be possible for you to re-test?

Hi Mac,

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me whether your keyboard and mouse are attached via PS/2 or USB?

Yeah, it looks like gcc/ld is somehow expecting a straight binary program (vloader) to be a Windows executable. You'll have to figure out how to get gcc to link a straight binary under cygwin.

You'll have to research that one, I think.

Told you it might be difficult

Is your 'osloader' directory missing from your 'src' directory?

(the errors you're seeing are because you're trying to execute the Makefile, instead of running the 'make' program which uses the Makefile)

What happens if you type unzip the Visospys source zipfile, change into that directory, and type 'make' ?

Those are for internationalization. They are templates for GNU gettext translation files. They're text files, and inside them you'll find strings to be translated ("msgid"), and a place to put the translation ("msgstr"). There's currently a German translation for a lot of things ...

You're very welcome. Let us know how you get on.
