It's quite possible that the -nostdinc line will block out the getopt.h
mentioned in an earlier post. Could this be what you recall having to move?

This would be Markus's bit, but do we have anyone who knows
cross-platform make stuff well? I think this should be simple to fix, if
we had someone who knew what they were doing.

I thought the perl aspect was gone? As far as I can see, it is only the
old-style firmware disassembly that needs it, and that should be easy to
comment out. Am I correct, Markus?

On three separate Linux boxes (a dell, a sony, and a VA Research) I have
also been unable to use the fast mode. Don't feel too bad :)

Yay.

dll should work with the old compiler- I have not yet compiled the new
compiler (the weird 2.95.2 problems I spoke of earlier) but I can get dll
to work just fine. Is there an error message?
Anyway, thanks for the update/info, Jonathan- hope the book continues to
sell well-
