   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2017-08-04 13:05:54, you wrote to me:   
      
    NB>>> All I had to do was change "-mtune=generic" to "-mtune=native" in   
    NB>>> the project files.   
      
    WV>> Doesn't 'generic' work for the arm target? I use 'native' for my own   
    WV>> compiles. And there is a 'native' target in the project you can switch   
    WV>> to.   
      
    NB> No. It wasn't a valid option, so I went with the next best "generic"   
    NB> method. Otherwise, besides "native" there were only specific things, like   
    NB> "armv7" and the like.   
      
   Or maybe just leave out the -mtune option. That should work too I think.   
      
    NB> As for the native target in the project you can switch to. I was lucky   
    NB> I was able to figure out how to build it. I've never used codeblocks   
    NB> before until this past hour. ;)   
      
   You seemed to have done fine, in such a short time span! ;)   
      
    NB>>> I can't get FConfig to do anything, though. Is that normal?   
      
    WV>> As said before, FConfig hasn't been converted to linux. You will have   
    WV>> to use the windows version....   
      
    NB> That's what I figured after looking into it a little more. I tried getting   
    NB> into it a little bit, but the first file couldn't find io.h, then when I   
    NB> commented that out to see where it would go next, it errored on the next   
    NB> file with some invalid code. So I gave up so as to not wreck anything.   
      
   If it were that simple! ... ;)   
      
   The problem is mostly in the conio library, which is dos/windows specific, for   
   doing the text user interface. I want to replace that with ncurses, but that   
   will take some figuring out. And I fear they are wildly different, so it   
   wouldn't be a case of just replacing library calls...2   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
