Hi there:

Thanks for your reply, its a bit clearer to me now. I have not used CVS before, so perhaps it time for me to do so. Any tips?

Cheers

I am pretty new to Linux, which is the platform I like to write external in. do I just use the 'make' command to compile the object?

Often yes, but for that you need to have a file called Makefile or makefile. Makefils are make what to do. There are many docs and introduction to makefiles on the web or maybe already on your harddisk, try "info make". But normally you would just use some other Makefile and edit it. A good Makefile to start with is in the CVS in externals/build/linux/makefile You can probably use it without any changes.
