Re: New Sourceforge Project, rtos port, LiveCD, etc

The school just allocated us two experimental computers. I've loaded Gentoo on both, and I'm planning to make the LiveCD's out of Gentoo (Catalyst), because Gentoo's fast and I love gentoo!


I've written ebuilds for the ifi-loader, and I have ebuilds for mcc, but I'm unsure of what I'm gonna do with them (i.e. make user wine-install C-Bot first, then install ebuild, or tarball up mcc against potential license issues).


Speaking of the Linux ifi-picloader, I did find a quite critical bug in functions.cpp that caused infinite loops on my machine... The author used looping construct


for (blah;blah;i=i++)

GCC would not accept i=i++, and i stayed at 0. I've alerted the author of the issue, but included it in my ebuilds, too.




Right now, I'm cleaning up default code, ready to release a makefile-packaged version. I'm also researching/learning how automake works, because automake scripts would make adding new .c files easier (automated Makefile entries).


By the end of the month or so, I'll have an initial Gentoo Console-only LiveCD out, for proof-of-concept.




Before I can do so, I want to know what kind of systems you intend on running the livecd on. Do we have anyone using something below i586?
