Thank you for your explanation. However, I'm still bit confused. [Quoted] I already have sample programs under demo directory and I'm trying to run for example sample1. So, the following steps I have to follow:

1) proc sample1
2) cc sample1.c
3) make -f demo_proc.mk build EXE=sample1 OBJS=sample1.o

Do I have to be under demo directory to write my code? And now, I should get the out put of the program.

Please advise.

Also, do you mean if write any other code, this should work on demo_proc.mk? Received on Fri Oct 18 2002 - 00:00:35 CEST
