Hi all,

I am trying to install DDK on Cherent inside of Virtualbox. I got the
ddk32.dd image from the arcive. I install it with:
install Drv_200 /dev/fva0 1

The command /conf/DK386 gives an error about missing patches, but
reading the script it looks innocuous.

Then I try to build with:
cd /usr/sys
Build -ip asyn at vtkb

The make operation tha follows fails with:
don't know how to make /usr/include/sys/timeout.h

I tried to copy timeout.h from /usr/include/kernel, but then if fails
on the next C file with undefined CCVTOUT.

At that point I figured that something must be very wrong in my
system.

Any hints, pointers that could help me ?
Are there any documentation somewhere other than the Coherent User
Guide ?

About 1 year ago I installed the DDK on an old 486, but I don't
remember what I did and the HDD died ...

Sorry for the noob question.

Thank you all,

--Frederic

ddk available in the archive is for coherent 286 version 3.2, NOT for
386 version.
So it is obvious it will NOT work in Your version of Coherent.
DDK was available once for mwc customers.
You should ask Robert via email. If he agrees one of us could send You
the copy of ddk for Coherent 4.2.x

Coherent 386 has builtin emulator for 286. You can run 286 executables
in Coherent 4.2.x. But in order to build the 286 executable in Coherent
386 You need the full development environment, like cc, ld etc,
libraries and headers etc.

thanks Andrzej, that helped a lot. I will e-mail Robert.

I don't really know what I did on that old 486 PC, but that clearly
must have been wrong.

thanks again,
