in order to improve user experience it would be necessary to have detailed feedback. "it did not complain at all" is not very helpful.

i just had another look and i found that comenting out
OFLAGS=-O3
in the config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt solved it so now i could compile xsample and py and the seem to work fine.

what exactly happens when "OFLAGS=-O3" is not commented out? Can you paste the console printout, as well as the compiler version?

I have a hard time understanding how this line can be a problem, except when the compiler itself is buggy and crashes etc.

nice, but the whole process requieres (in my opinon) a pretty good level of understanding linux and the compilation process and details. It would be nice if it was easier.

thanks,
