You will find all kind of GNUish Software in cologne.

Try ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de dir: pub/minix/gnu/m68k/*

(or ftp.uni-koeln.de dir: pun/thp/minix/gnu/m68k/*)

I would suggest the test version of gcc2.2.2.

You can try all you want if you want to find out what your compiler
does, but if you want to write correct and/or portable code you should
not do things like this. The code above makes the following
assumptions:

Arguments are passed in memory (some compilers pass the first few
arguments in registers).

The first argument has the lowest address. On the usual
stack-grows-down-architectures this means that arguments are pushed
right to left. Some compilers push arguments left to right.
Some compilers reorder arguments (e.g. according to their type).

Fixed and optional arguments are passed the same way.
Functions with a variable argument list are called the same way as
functions with fixed arguments. On many architectures a faster/smaller
calling sequence can be used if the number and type of arguments is
known. Compilers can take advantage of this.

So if you want to write portable programs using variable argument
lists, your best choice is using the macros in the <stdarg.h> header
file (Some old unix machines might only have a <varargs.h> file, but it
is usually trivial to create a <stdargs.h> from that, while the reverse
might not be true).

I have been a proud owner of Amiga Minix 1.5.10 for just about a year
now.
I gave up using minix quite some time ago, since I was unable to use a
hard disk. Now I am a Very proud owner of an A3000 with a HD and I have
a kernel that supports this HD.

So I kreated a partition on the HD and began to install the Minix
system.
Then I discovered that Disk03 (sytem binaries #1 (/usr)) was damaged and
disk04 (system binaries #2) was totally ruined. Then I attempted to
rebuild the missing commands with the C compiler when I found out that
importand commands like fsck and COMPRESS are on disk04 !!!!

Please E-mail me and suggest to me how this can be fixed.

thanks in advance. Mani Thorsteinsson.

Summary: User's Views & experiences.

Hello Netters,

I have been an end user of Macintosh and SUN workstations for the last few
years, and I am interested in finding out more about the MINIX kernel for
the Macintosh range of hardware.

I have read the FAQ and information files at the UUNET archive regarding the
MINIX kernel and costings, etc. What I would like is some views and
experiences of users of the Macintosh version, especially with regards to
the use of the package on low end Macintosh hardware.

I am currently studying towards an MSc with my thesis based on hyertext and
software design. Operating systems are sort of a hobby. I would simply like
to hear people's views of the MINIX system before paying out the $350 NZ
for the package, noting that New Zealand students are poorer than most ;-).

I would also be interested in hearing if there was a site that had the
disk images of the Macintosh demo version available for FTP, or if someone
had the demo and would be willing to make a copy of this demo available to me,
assuming that such distribution was legal and allowed by the publisher.

I would appreciate any e-mail information that the readers of comp.os.minix
can pass on.

This seems a bizarre counter-example.
I don't know of any GNU programs _not_ available with source code.
In fact it is a condition of distribution.

I didn't say I _would_ read all the source.
I said it should be available.
Anyone who runs programs without source from the net 
by someone they don't know is a fool, IMHO.

In the present case, the source must be very small
(since the size of the program was 15k, or so);
so why not make it available?
Isn't that the idea of Minix, anyway?

I have been asked to post a summary of what has changed since 1.5
No can do.  The diffs are something like 7 megabytes.  An awful lot
has changed.  The biggest changes are the move towards POSIX and the
new file system (which allows disks up to 4G).  There are thousands of
other changes.  In general, 1.6.23 is MUCH better than all previous
versions, and seems pretty stable.  I have been running it for months
without too many problems (except once in a while the floppy disk driver
seems to have trouble--this may be my medium detection algorithm).

The direction I want to go is more POSIX.  There is also some work on
microkernels going on, but whether that will go in or not depends on
how it develops.

One known bug is curses.  Does anyone have a curses library and header that
is complete and works?

I got MacMINIX to work on my Quadra without having to turn off the
'040 cache. Basically, I just added calls to FlushInstructionCache
at various places in the kernel until it worked.

Here is the code for FlushInstructionCache which should be added
to /usr/lib/libmac.a

	.extern _FlushInstructionCache
_FlushInstructionCache:
	move.l	#1,d0
	.data2	0xA198
	rts

(I put this code in a file called Cache.s in /usr/src/lib/mac/libmac)

Here are the places where I added calls:

In /usr/src/lib/mac/crt/crtmac.s after the relocation call has
completed successfully. (around line 34)
	bsr _FlushInstructionCache

In /usr/src/tools/macboot.c after loading all of the parts of the
MINIX kernel. (around line 326)
	FlushInstructionCache();

In /usr/src/kernel/system.c in the routine do_exec. (around line 288)
	FlushInstructionCache();

(might also need a call when shadow processes are moved)

This version has not been tested much so becareful if you make these
changes.

This won't work on Minix-Sparc. Function arguments are passed in registers
on a Sparc. The varargs functionality in Minix-Sparc is implemented in the
GNU C compiler which pushes all parameters on to the stack when a varargs
function is to be called.

BTW, your check for the last argument doesn't work. Not used stack positions
are not guaranteed to be zero.

A nice idea, but a little unpractical. For example, there isn't much likelihood
of me reading the entire GNU source and making sure I trust it before trying
to use it on my machine. You'd expect the GNU stuff to be safer than most,
but then it can pass through a lot of hands between FSF and your machine.

I've resigned myself to the idea that if we're going to use interesting and
useful free software, we're just going to have to trust people. Thankfully,
the Net exists because most of the people contributing to it can be trusted
in this regard.

I would suggest getting a couple of Intro books on Unix.

One, I would find a Unix Bible; Two, ask around the net for a users
guide to Minix, Three, If its not cost prohibitive, I'd take an intro
course in Unix.

Some of the messages I have received, I cannot answer because
the return address does not seem to work.

Inquiries about on-line distribution of TCP/IP
Xinu should be send to Dave Stevens, dls@mentor.cc.purdue.edu.

Thanks

 I just found this group and went looking for the FAQ, is there one?
Where can I find the sources to xinu? Is it in a book? (aka minix?)
I am a college student who is looking for examples for a project for
my OS class. Thanks...
