    I didn't know about that option, as make --help doesn't list it. But as I read the full manual, I see that make -B just treats all targets as old. Or you could use make clean, which does this:

    Code:
    clean:
     -rm $(objdir)/*.o
     -rm $(objdir)/*.P
    
     
  2. Already tried the make -B option, but make clean did the trick, many thanks. [​IMG]
     
  3. Burbruee: I just noticed that my version of the makefile in the wiki doesn't match the current version. -DHAS_FPU has already been added as of 0.36 (and maybe 0.35 as well). Open up the makefile in a text editor and look near the top for a line that starts with CFLAGS, then change it to this:

    Code:
    CFLAGS := -Wall -O2 -std=gnu99 -DWITH_REPLAY=1 -DHAS_FPU
     

  4. Yes, that's the change tepples told me to make, so I've already done that. ^^

    ( And it's compiling correctly without errors. )

    with the last version of ubuntu (feisty) you can read a fat32 partition so i assume you can execute on it too?

    As for the live CD...It think you have to specify a location on the hard drive to install things, because, unless you have a very big ram, you wont be able to install many things.

    And for the gcc, and all that stuff, I had to install them with synaptics after the installation, so they dont come along with the typical installation
     
  6. I have a crazy idea: how difficult would it be to set up a ram drive partition? And how useful would it be?

    If you have an external hard drive ubuntu is getting fairly easy to install on them. All you need is about 5gb of space to install ubuntu and do what you want to do.

    The only external drive I have is a USB CF/SD adapter, for which I can buy a 1 GB card for under $20. Is Puppy any good? And is there an easy way to check whether my PC from fall 2000 can boot from a USB drive?

    You know... Honestly i think the easiest way to distribute lockjaw for linux is to release a version of just the source and required files that is made to install on linux with a makefile. There are so many different distributions of linux its not even fun. The way i have suggested makes it easy to span over multiple version of linux. Other then that you would be best to supply 2 different versions, a rpm install and a deb installer. But i believe you would need two different OS's to do that.
     
  10. Sadly, I think he's right...
