I know!. I've been reading them. I wanted to short-circuit to the choices that worked small outfit, not go through all the blurb instead. This may sound strange, Friedel, but life is simply too short for all the reading I have to do. I actually made a 13MB download. Somebody compiled an archive, as follows: 1. fpga.linux.tar --> install.sh & fpga.tar. This wanted csh, (and I only have bash) so a quick hack followed fpga.tar had: bzip2 & fpga.tar.bzip2. Bzip2 was looking for some stupid library, and wouldn't run. So I used tar -jxvf, thinking "what was this guy taking?" That made me up a nice spread of stuff, which won't run without a lisence :-(. They're mailing it to me. > Hi Declan, > Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle produced > 139.000 hits asking it for FPGAs the first one was www.xilinx.com , looks > very much linux stuff. > > Cheers > > Friedel > > At 07:23 a.m. 03/04/03 -0800, you wrote: > >On Thu, Apr 03, 2003 at 04:08:35PM +0100, Declan.
