If you need motors, check out toys. They are clearing out their stock (I've heard April they're outa-here) and everything is on sale. The 8735 Technic motor kit was 24.?? last time I looked. Shipping is a tad steep, so you may want to get several at (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I've spoken too fast. Re-reading the error message I saw the real problem. "controlThread" or "&controlThread" are the same.

(...) In C you should call execi() like this: execi(controlThread, 0, NULL, 2, DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE); /* Removed `&' */ since a function is like an array name: it is an address. Probably the same applies to C++. bye Bernardo (24 years ago, 18-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi all, sorry if this is a rediculously trivial problem, but I'm having some problems with execi on legos0.2.5 , I can't seem to get g++ to compile when I use it, I pass it a 'correct' function.....like so : int controlThread(int argc, char **argv) (...)

0.2.5 is the most recent, but there have been a number of problems reported with my (admittedly slightly sloppy) packaging of it. There will be an 0.2.6 with fixes for these problems, but unless someone else steps up and does it, it won't happen (...) (24 years ago, 17-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

OK, I tried putting a makefile.common in the root directory(it turns out that I found it in the /util folder). It didn't work.

Ok, big surprise: it turns out I'm a moron.
