I've now got Qmake installed on my QPC setup, so I execute with :

For quick success, everything is pre-configured in my QPCDemo.win. Maybe just boot from that. Then add the SMSQ/E WIN file to win2_, type "dev_use 8,win2_" and everything is ready.

Alternatively, QMake is configured using the standard QJump configuration utility ("config" or "menuconfig"). Probably described a million times somewhere. Including the QMake manual...

And what's gained by that?

I just thought QMAKE did it.

Do what? I don't get it.

Thanks for that, I hadn't spotted that in the manual....

The version of config I had said that there where no config blocks, however downloading MenuConfig from Dilwyn's site worked, I'm still getting build errors, but deffo getting further now.

And success!

Once I figured out that having smsq338.zip and a folder called smsq338 (perfectly legal in windows), on a dosX_ folder confuses the build process!

So :
dos3_ = folder\ (with smsq338.zip on it).
dos4_ = folder\dossmsq338
dev8_ = dos4_

unzip with
ex unzip;"-d dos4_ dos3_smsq338_zip"

Then build with
ex qmake;"dev8_dv3_qlsd_rom"

Hit Do and out pops DRIVER_ROM

So next stage is to modify for my hardware (different I/O address, and can use propper I/O reads / writes rather than having to fool it!). I'll probably make a copy of the qlsd folder, get it working then I can easily do a kdiff3 between the
folders and merge the changes back in.

Then it would be useful to make it build time configurable.

Sounds like it's a level 2 config block in that case. The original Config only handled the level 1 blocks, while MenuConfig can do both.

Indeed, that's what I figured.
