First off, congratulations to the LisaEm team on the 2.0.0 release! For anyone who hasn't seen it yet: https://github.com/arcanebyte/lisaem/releases/tag/2.0.0 (https://github.com/arcanebyte/lisaem/releases/tag/2.0.0)
This got me thinking about Alex's incredible work compiling LOS from source. I've been wanting to try it myself, but I don't have access to real Lisa hardware—so a LisaEm-only workflow is my only path forward at present. The challenge is getting the source files onto a Workshop disk image in the first place. Alex mentioned in the thread that he transferred everything one file at a time over serial on real hardware, which obviously isn't an option for me.
I'm curious: has anyone successfully imported the LOS source files onto Alex's starter image using LisaEm? I've attempted to set up an emulated serial port between the host and the emulated Lisa in the past, but I was never able to get communication working.
The 2.0.0 release notes mention improved Pseudo TTY serial port functionality and better documentation for both "Shell" and "Pseudo TTY" modes, which sounds promising. Has anyone had a chance to experiment with this yet?
Also, a related question: is Alex's glue.c patch still needed with LisaEm 2.0.0, or has that been addressed upstream?
Would love to hear if anyone has figured out an emulator-only workflow. Thanks!
