Problems Compiling Files (Axon + Ubuntu)

[Jdog]

Hi, I recently switched over to Ubuntu and am trying to get my Axon working. I followed this tutorial: http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=8216.0

I am able to load files that I have previously compiled on my windows perfectly.  I'm running into problems though when I try to edit those files and recompile them.  I ran into the same problem as Ryltar in http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=10792.0. and am now using his makefile which lets me run make.  But when I run it and then upload the new hex, the changes I've made to the software do not show up.

Here is the output when I run make:

Code: [Select]

turdferg@turdferg-desktop:~/Documents/Robotics/my_robots/Axon/helloWorldUbuntu$ make

Does anyone know why this is happening?  Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi. Can you post the source code of the files you're using as well as the makefile?

In the meantime, take a look at this option:

But when I run it and then upload the new hex, the changes I've made to the software do not show up.

This may or may not be a problem, but sometimes I have this problem when I'm a bit sleepy . . .

Check the creation time/date of your .hex file to make sure you are uploading the most recently compiled .hex. Sometimes I upload another .hex with the same file name and get really confused for 20+ minutes . . .
