John,
If your laptop is running Windows, then the easiest way to compile
everything is with the Mingw compiler. Just install Mingw (one time
deal) and then there's a batch file distributed with the SIMH source to
compile all the binaries. Pretty much automated (except that you have to
make a "bin" directory, the batch file doesn't make it, and if you
don't, it will "look" like everything is compiling but you'll get no
executables!)
I'm replying to the list in case anyone else is starting down this Road.
I downloaded (12.2MB) MinGW and extracted it, all okay. But:
Make a "bin" directory... where? I made one in the PDP11 folder, MinGW
has one in it's tree, but, as you said, executing the batch file makes a
lot of stuff happen, but no executable is in evidence. I located MinGW in
the simulations folder, and altered the 'path' statement in the batch file
to point to it... that much seems to work fine.
Also, I rem'ed out all the other simulators in the batch file, leaving
just the path statement and the PDP11 simulator active.
Now if I can just locate all these files I'm supposedly generating. ;}
Well, I'm learning...
TIA All...
