The HOWTO was originally written as part of a class related project. I've
recently found another project that will again give me time to work on
it, so hopefully I won't need too much help. But stick around- this list
will certainly be where I come when I have questions.

As least as I understand it, these may be fatal problems, i.e., you may
not be able to get it compiled at all. Give it a shot, and if you can get
something worked out, by all means, let us know- that is certainly a big
wishlist item. If not, please don't be too disappointed- get egcs and try
again. You'll certainly find legOS worth your time.
Good luck-

| Luis, No probs. I should have looked there first 8?) If you need something done, I'd be happy to document my experimentation, and mail it to you to include in the HOWTO. I also read on the NG that gcc 2.95.2 has a bit of a problem in some of the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
