Just compiled on a slackware 10.x box.. the picloader at least..
Code:
root@server:/ftproot/ifi-picloader-0.4.2.orig# make
[G++] Compiling PICloader...
[G++] Compiling PICreader...
Please run `make install` as root to continue with installation process.
root@server:/ftproot/ifi-picloader-0.4.2.orig# make install
[G++] Compiling PICloader...
[G++] Compiling PICreader...
Please run `make install` as root to continue with installation process.
[CP] Copying binaries...
Its a bit weird, as it looks as if it compiled twice. The readme file could use a bit of work also
Edit: Noticed a small bug.. you can download things to a non-connected serial port, and it appears to work correctly, but doesn't actually download
