a) What the fuck is an "svn repository"
svn, or "Subversion" is a source control system. It allows you to keep track of changes to a piece of software as it develops.
Ok. That doesn't help me whatsoever- English is not my native language, let alone whatever that language is.
b) How do i build his utility? There's no .exe files in the directory?
The build instructions are on the page. There is no .exe file, because it doesn't run under Windows. I've never used Windows and I don't even know anyone who has it, far less software development tools for it.
Oh ok, this helps. You've *never* used Windows? Wow. I figured it was a c++ program from the file extension..?
Obviously I am wrong. But I only use Windows so...
c) What does any of this mean?
first line pulls the latest version of the code from my server
second line changes to the directory containing the code
third line actually builds the code into the utility.
Oh ok, i get all this bit
, but being on Windows only, It doesn't really help me.
Or, of course, you could just ask me nicely to roll a ROM set for you. I could probably even burn it for you, but I'd need to price up blank EPROMs and postage - probably about £30 all in.
That's an extraordinarily kind offer, thank you. I'll have a think about it. I've joined the hr16 yahoo group, so i'll see if any of those kids can help, or the burnkit people, Otherwise, I'm in the ass end of the world so it might not be possible.
But again, thank you
