Hello from Gregg C Levine I am getting some darned strange error messages from the Python based builder script. It seems to reject the way the config file is setup, in favor of something totally different. Well I tried that. It did not work. So, I setup a shell script file to automate some of the steps. And with the exact same config file, as the one I've attached, I ended up with the exact same output from the scripting output. Even thiough the output is provided as a an attachment, I am going to paste it here: Script started on Sun Nov 17 17:49:12 2002 root@drwho:/usr/src/lobos/work# ./buildit.sh Process config file: /usr/src/lobo/freebios/src/mainboard/intel/l440gx/Config ===> Warning: /usr/src/lobos/work/l440gx.config:4: /usr/src/lobo/freebios/src/mainboard/intel/l440gx/Config not found Will place Makefile, crt0.S, etc. in /usr/src/lobos/work/l440gx-build/l440gx /usr/src/lobos/work/l440gx.config:10: arch, target, or mainboard must be the first commands, not option root@drwho:/usr/src/lobos/work# exit

This is on Slackware 8.0, with the current collection of tools, as of when Slackware 8.0 was released. And I am open to suiggestions. Gregg C Levine drwho8@worldnet.att.net "Oh my!"
