Yes, just trying to get a foot in the door myself. So yes I found today 
out that the code is not compiling for me either. Some ressources 
mentioned in the makefile seem to be missing, and at the moment I am 
stuck with the RCX facillity.
I am pretty sure it worked in some earlier stage. I have time tomorrow. 
I will tinker around and see if there is a version that compiles. Maybe 
that would be better start then just to pick the latest c++ commit.

I dont think so. For years now no one did anything on the Delphy code.

Yes.

I tried CodeBlocks, CodeLite, Eclipse c++ add in. Nothing realy worked, 
since no Project files were at hand and I am not experienced with any of 
those.
So basicly I now use Vi and the command line to go. If I get my foot 
into the door I may try again to switch to an IDE. But first step is 
learning what situation the code is in.

I can read c++ code. So far I understand the detail,s but do not have 
the overall picture. However I will return to the offer. I am real 
unexperienced when it comes to gui Programming. I am used to write data 
calculating code.
The wxWidgets Code uses very special features of the framework. So here 
to I will need some assistance I guess.

Any help is appreciated. If you have Questions or Issues, feel free to 
post them to me. Maybe together we will be faster, since my time is 
limited too.
