Works here! (I'm *that* happy :-) At least it compiles, I don't have any
I2C-display around...

Thanks for the good work!

I'm going to introduce a '--with-python' switch, which is disabled by
default, so it won't disturb. As soon as this is fixed, I want to
release 0.10

There are some compiler warnings (about unused arguments) which should
be easy to clean up.

Another question: The current i2c code uses a 'real' i2c bus (which I
don't have in my notebook, at least I cannot connect anything to it).
I've seen in serdisplib that it's possible to 'emulate' a i2c bus on the
serial port; and I got a (very strange) display from Pollin yesterday,
which is also driven by i2c, and their sample program use the parallel
port for i2c emulation....

Should we add support for it?


bye, Michael
