(see http://rockbox.haxx.se ->recent cvs activity,daily builds,cvs compile status,bleeding edge builds,bug reports,patches.... ) just cool! ok - we cannot really compare these projects side by side, they are very different. >No, simply UML 2.6 works only if you don't enable module support. Obviously >this is a bug, and patches have been posted around 5-6 times or so(search in >the archives, but some modules could not work anyway because some symbols >must still be exported); but no fix has gone in Jeff's patch. see what i mean? 5-6 times posted - but people need a helping hand to find them. ok - i cannot arrogate, to tell you code wizards(respect!) how to work - but perhaps i can give some pro`s/con`s. okok - last words - i shut up now ;) regards roland ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
