(...) I forgot to mention that one possible deficiency is the complements. They can be eliminated, for the most part, with careful counting of zeros.

Regarding the IR protocol, I have elsewhere suggested the following simple low-level format: 1 start, 1 stop, 2400 baud, odd parity 55 f0 f0 L ~L D1 ~D1 .. Dn ~Dn C ~C L is number of data bytes, valid range 1..255, less depending on buffer sizes Dx (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics)

Sorry, I have been out of the loop for quite some time now on the protocol. Next time will someone smack me when I voluntarily take a compiler theory course on top of 3 other computer sciences courses. I had no life for over a month. I am currently (...)

(...) you can specify where the .h files are using the -I switch... maybe you just need to check the Makefile (or Makefile.common) and change some paths there... or: check the configuration of compiler, sorry, I can't help with that... erik (25 years ago, 5-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
