Same here..
That Gavin package...that might have been the one I downloaded...but even
that one had a crazy directory structure, and all the compiled EXE's had
names about 16 letters long! How about something simple like
GCC
MAKE
what else do you REALLY need in a developers kit? Maybe a debugging
program, but on an RCX what good would it do. I think you need to debug the
old fashioned way when writing for that unit.
The person that packages a set of DOS (and therefore, windows) compatible
tools, with a simple directory structure (include, bin, source, etc) and
small filenames, along with some sample programs and rudimentary docs -
will get a TON of downloads! (and traffic to their website, presumably)
If I had more time, I'd do it!
