Chris,
I've only played with BrickOS a little, but I had good success. This kind of
environment is very familiar to me.
I use cygwin terminal to get to the directory that contains C examples.
I type make. All the example files are then compiled and target executables
created.
I list the files in the directory to find out the target suffix. I know it is
not .rcx, but I can't remember what it is.
I copy one of the example files to balancer.c
I edit balancer.c the file using vi, notepad, whatever.....
I edit the Makefile to add balancer to the list of programs to be compiled.
Back at cygwin terminal, I type:
make balancer.<fill in the suffix here>
Wait and watch for error messages.
If no error messages download balancer.<fill in the suffix here> to your RCX.
At lunch I'll get my laptop and try to be more specific.
Kevin
