Foolishly sloppy language from me again: I meant "Makefile" as a form of synecdoche for "the Build Process." (And I suppose in lieu of "detritus" I might have said "artifact," too.) But my intent was clear (I hope): fully functional HEX files reside within the distribution, and can get a new user, especially on an Arduino, up and running right away. After some experimentation with these non-specific builds, a user who cares to can figure out how to customize the HEX file to suit their application. That's exactly how I got started, and the path I followed to build my Uno R3. And now I do all my Amforth dev work over SSH to a headless Raspberry Pi with InoTool for a USB attached Uno (either commercial or homebrew). For USD 35 I have a completely dedicated Amforth development station. But without the early ability to experiment with those existing builds in the distro, I might never have been motivated to figure it all out. You should publicize those files more: "For evaluating Amforth, or even if you're merely curious about Forth on Arduino, you may use one of the existing HEX files for the <list of Arduino boards supported> found the <folder of the distro>." Heck, you could even copy that family of HEX files to a higher level in the source tree, and call it "Demos" or "Test Images" or the like. Just a thought. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Amforth-devel mailing list for http://amforth.sf.net/ Amforth-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amforth-devel
