Thanks Jed, its really good to have a working makefile to compare against :) I'm still having issues though, it doesn't want to run vcpm, so I guess its necessary to show off my file to help with these errors:
http://pastebin.com/m6999acb1 Also, I should point out that this is orange box. I've had a couple of errors and ended up commenting out the "check:" section to get around them, nothing too critical. But this one stumps me: CPP_LIB="/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1/libstdc ++.a /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gn \4.1/libgcc_eh.a" : not foundke make: *** [vcpm] Error 127 Now, I know that error 127 means it can't find a requirement, and its pointing at a line containing two external library (archives) ... but both those archives definately exist. As do all the other GCC / G++ and xerces ones I configured. Is there something bleedingly obvious that I'm missing?
