Not yet, but 0.1.3-pre1 shortly will be. The releases on the ELKS website can easily lag behind those being used since those with the abilities to create releases are also the busiest of the developers. The best way to obtain the current code is using CVS with commands like the following... export CVS_RSH=`which ssh` CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.elks.sf.net:/cvsroot/elks cvs -d $CVSROOT get elks elkscmd elksnet elksutils ...which will download the current code base for all four packages, and will drop it under the current directory. > 2) Version 0.1.1 gives me the next error: > > jsedano@taran:~/elks/elks-0.1.1> make Image > Q> #define UTS_VERSION "#0.1.1?Thu Jul 17 20:14:02 CEST 2003" =====8<===== CUT =====>8===== > bcc -0 -i -O -I/home/jsedano/elks/elks-0.1.1/include \ > -DELKS_VERSION_CODE=0x00010100 -DUTS_RELEASE=\"0.1.1\" \ > -D__KERNEL__ -ansi -c -o init/main.o init/main.c > make -C arch/i86 Image > make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jsedano/elks/elks-0.1.1/arch/i86' =====8<===== CUT =====>8===== > gcc -E -traditional -I/home/jsedano/elks/elks-0.1.1/include \ > -DELKS_VERSION_CODE=0x00010100 -DUTS_RELEASE=\"0.1.1\" \ > -D__KERNEL__ -o boot/bootsect.s boot/bootsect.S > as86 -0 -o boot/bootsect.o boot/bootsect.s > ld86 -0 -s -o boot/bootsect -M boot/bootsect.o > Boot.map > gcc -E -traditional -I/home/jsedano/elks/elks-0.1.1/include \ > -DELKS_VERSION_CODE=0x00010100 -DUTS_RELEASE=\"0.1.1\" \ > -D__KERNEL__ -o boot/setup.s boot/setup.S > boot/setup.S:588: macro names must be identifiers > make[1]: *** [boot/setup.s] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jsedano/elks/elks-0.1.1/arch/i86' > make: *** [Image] Error 2 > jsedano@taran:~/elks/elks-0.1.1> I'm not sure what that bug was, but it doesn't appear to be present in the current CVS version which is 0.1.3-pre1 so has presumably been fixed in the meantime.
