Also, there should be an agreed-upon installation/configuration of make and the order of including library files in compilation.
The point is there needs to be either an unzip-and-go file with detailed instructions or an .exe installer release for this, and efforts in areas like the error parser need to be combined so we aren't duplicating each other's work. Astronouth's work is great but in my opinion not well documented, especially for those new for FIRST or Eclipse.

Between the whitepaper on CD, Astro's work, and all the threads on CD it really isnt to complicated. Maybe Astro can work on some docs, but it didnt take me long at all to set up. Maybe its just that I have worked on several projects where its nothing more than a forum with many people all posting slightly modified code and then the end user having to put it all together. Astro has a SVN server up, so if we get those who are insterested in developing he can give them access and we can have a unified project going.
