Re: [Simulavr-devel] simulavrxx - state of affairs

[Klaus Rudolph]

Hi all,

the situation is still the same as the last years. I actually have no
projects with avr and I could not spend time for the simulation at all.
Compiling the sources is still very simple by using a simple Makefile.
All the things around like autotools seems to be broken. Bill has
dropped his activity as he wrote in his last mails.

I have running simulavr on my linux box at home without any problems. It
could be that there is a need for some minor patches because of new
warnings of actual gcc toolchain. But nothing which is really a
technical problem. My local sources are compiling without warnings. Only
code generated from swig are source of some warnings but also without
effect in the tool itself.

I have not checked in something since years and the old linux box is not
running anymore. So it is possible that I have not actually access to
the cvs. :-)

But I will look for it and put there my last local sources if possible.
I also will check in my Makefile. I will not start with configuring
autotools. If someone wants to do that: Good luck :-)

As in the past I will answer on all technical questions as I did the
last years. But there where not many questions at all. :-) Maybe all
using studio and are happy.

So let me look for the access for cvs the next days and will be back as
I have finished the last updates... If you got no answer next days...
feel free to remember me! :-)

Have a nice weekend!
 Klaus
