| Hi there, I just tried to install BMax on a live Knoppix distribution. All works well. I try to use the bmk tool from command line, but I cannot compile my own written modules. But I can compile the whole brl modules directory. So why does my own module do not compile. It says "input file not found". The module does compile on Windows and Mac. Can someone help? |

| Try to make sure the case of folder / filenames are consistent, otherwise it won't work. eg : mod / brucey.mod / Coolstuff.mod / coolstuff.bmx wouldn't work because "Coolstuff" and "coolstuff" are not the same case. I always make everything lowercase, then you can't go wrong. |

| Thanks Brucey, this helped me to get to results. After I wrote everything in small letters it say "mkdir failed". I had copied the mod folders from a windows partition through vmware to ramdisk of Knoppix. The file and folders had all the starting date of Linux time (1970...). After I played with the permissions of the .bmx file and the folders the date were updated. Now I was able to compile with bmk. Strange...? |
