It breaks there due to text file deficiencies (.xml, .srs, .xcu etc.) in my gbuild ports of connectivity and chart2, which I hope to rectify soon, but the fact we get that far means that all the code compiles and links, which is a huge milestone. The next major challenge will be getting it to run. With an incomplete/buggy UNO bridge, it will probably crash on startup. Regards Damjan
