Failure to build from current CVS

2000-09-01 Thread Chris Rutter
I'm sure this problem is dumb and stupid, but I know nothing about these documentation tools; perhaps someone here could point me in the right direction. I'm trying to build current CVS code for boot-floppies on ARM, with `language chooser' turned on, but it all ends in a sticky mess: gcc -c -D_

Partition file support

2000-07-28 Thread Chris Rutter
In ARM-land there's a to-be popular method of avoiding partitioning your drive (most of the users wouldn't ever manage it, and there are no resize utilities): create a 200MB (or whatever) raw file, sitting somewhere on your ADFS-partitioned drive (i.e. wierdo Acorn/ARM/RISC OS filesystem format),
