No problem, i have been busy with other things too, and my motherboard died on saturday, so i could not do much work this WE. > > Also, would your new SDK still use a fixed path or should it be possible > > to install it anywhere ? > > > > Fixed path?

Well, once you build and install the SDK, the PROJECTROOT gets expanded in the Imakefiles/Makefiles, and it has problem during the build phase if you moved it, since it tries to erase files in the old location, for which it may not have the rights. I was able to override this behavior by calling make wile overriding one of the make variables, i forgot which one right now, but i think it was something like USRINCDIR or something such. Ideally it would be easy to build in any place, possibly not as root, and then to be able to install as root, and with the install path accepting the $(DESTDIR) prefix, so the drivers can be installed into a package.
