So thats a nope then. I downloaded a older version which should have worked with Windows 7 as well.

The first command failed so the second one will.

Internet seems to say 'run the first command again and it will probably work', which I don't find satisying, but there we go.

Then perhaps add an 'apt update' between the PPA and install commands.

I did run them again, it didn't seem to error on the apt stuff the second time, but still couldn't download the files from vinces site anyway.

Let me see if I can spin you up a VM.

Here you go. There's nothing sensitive in here and anyone should be able to use it. It's just proof of concept, really. No bells nor whistles.

This is probably taking the Mickey out of the forum's file hosting, but feel free to download it and delete the attachment if you wish.

This is a Virtualbox image. It'll expand to about 2GB and could use up to 8GB if you filled up its disc. Install Virtualbox and choose 'Add' from the main panel.

Before you boot, edit its settings and tell it your network card to use for the bridge.

It'll boot to a commandline only Debian install and try to advertise to you its IP address on the login prompt which will let you SSH into it.

It should also respond as a samba mount: (start->run) \\exxos.local\exxos

Username is exxos. Password is exxos.

In the home directory is a git-cloned repository of Thorsten's TOS2/3 work.

I have run make with the parameters for the UK TOS2.06 version. It's worked and made an output file (in glue).

Here's the result of that:

In short: it just works. Use the Samba mount to edit the files and get the images off. Just log in, 'cd' to the repository directory and type

Code: Select all

make TOSVERSION=206 COUNTRY=uk

To build it again.

Code: Select all

make clean

beforehand to ensure a clean slate.

No idea how to do that ? I went looking for it and got to

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

But then it just said.

At this point I don't even know if your talking about Linux or Windows box?

Its not that thing which says "will disable your internet connection while it installs" is it ? I tried to install terriblefires tool chain a few years ago, and the program did that.. I then spent 4 hours trying to get my internet connection to come back on!

I don't think you shoudl be allowed near computers.

Maybe. ISE is distributed as a Virtualbox container, IIRC. You may already have it installed.

I don't use Virtualbox really (I used VMWare Fusion), but it is pretty much the standard for chucking VMs around so it's not some niche bit of kit that no-one's tested.
