[fpc-pascal] building docs from cvs

2005-05-06 Thread Bob Barry
I am not an experienced latex user.  I tried simple "make html" in the "docs" 
directory,
as recommended by README, and error messages led me to get packages:
   latex2html-2002.2.1_pre20041025
   tetex-2.0.2-r5
   tex4ht-20050406_p1623-r1

With these packages installed, make halts on errors like:
   ! LaTeX Error: Lonely \item--perhaps a missing list environment.
   l.1302 ... "arg1" does not seem to be initialized]

Behavior was similar for dvi, txt, pdf, and ps.

Can someone suggest what's missing or required?  The gzipped user.log
is attached.

Thanks,

Bob Barry

This problem is fixed at my place, but I haven't committed it yet.
I'll try to commit it tonight.
Michael.

I am writing an operating system using your Free Pascal Compilier 1.0.10.
Most of my code is based on the IA32 opcodes in $ASMMODE INTEL. I
have two problems, both are of importance.
1. The very basic problem is with the video driver. Whenever I try to write
to the Video memory either there is no reponse, or I receive a run time
error 216. I tried all possibilities of using an absolute array, pointers,
and even FillWord, nothing works out.
 

Have a look at this:
http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~nickysn/paskernel/
It's a 'hello world' OS. In fact writing to the video memory is the only 
thing it can do :) It used to work with some older version of fpc (like 
1.9.2 or 1.9.4 - I don't remember exactly) and I think also with 1.0.10. 
When 2.0 comes out, I'll update it. :)
