I'm encouraged by your efforts Carl and I don't have time to do the gcc work so
Michael, I'd like to take you up on your offer. I do have two of the RCX bricks
and a number of USB/IR towers and Linux machines. Carl, I've limited time so
rather than applying the patches one by one to replicate the code base your
using (which we _will_ have to do eventually) can you offer a ready to build
code set? I'm only asking this to get a first test so we can prove/disprove
that Michael does have something to work towards. That is that it does run so
he can work on updating the toolset. What do you think? Other ideas welcome,
too. I'm trying to enable us to get working without a larger time commitment
for the time being...
Sound reasonable?
Again, I really appreciate the time both of you are (or will be ;-) spending!
Best Regards,
Stephen
