Aquileo | Speech Sound driver

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 19:00:38 -0000

Hi;
Just wanted to share my personal disappointment., so perhaps it turns out into an asset for someone.
Back in the day I tried and failed at building a driver to echo text to the The Speech/Sound Cartridge.
In Basic it was just a matter of poking text into a data memory location, and back in the day I wrote an OS-9 driver that did just that but never worked.

Aquileo | #10 Dynamic PORT name for level 2 builds

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 22:18:33 -0000

Oh, I just noticed that with your change, if the specified PORT does not exist, you don't really get an obvious "File not Found" error. It does print a bunch out like it is doing something (I guess just assmbling "NOSLIB"). You just get:

make PORTS=fake_port 
[...]
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Before, it would show:

make PORTS=fake_port 
[...]
make: *** fake_port: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I am not sure that is a big deal, though, but if it is, something like this at the end of the "ifdef PORTS" check would again generate the error:
ifeq ($(words $(dirs)), 1)
dirs += $(LEVEL1)
endif

Even better! Works great for me specifiying multiple PORTS and mixing levels.
Thank you!

Nice! That is a good idea.

Taking this a bit further, what do you think of this? It allows mixing level1 and level2 ports. As a side-effect it bypasses level1/makefile and level2/makefile but that is fine.

Aquileo | Dynamic PORT name for level 2 builds

Names of PORTS for level 2 are hard coded in the makefile, unlike level 1. It would be helpful for making level 2 ports to new systems if the makefile would allow for dynamic PORT names, as it does for level 1. Possible solution patch:

diff --git a/makefile b/makefile
index 8a5625c5..f094f716 100644
--- a/makefile
+++ b/makefile

 dirs    += $(LEVEL2)

 dirs    += $(LEVEL1)
-endif
+#endif

This patch basically eliminates the hard coded port names and checks to see if the referenced PORT name matches a folder in the level2 directory, and includes $(LEVEL2) if it matches. It still works properly you to enter multiple port targets such as:

make PORTS="coco3 mc09l2"

Curtis has expressed interest in getting the EOU project's source into the NitrOS-9's repositry. I'd like to know what the current maintainers think the process should be.
