Have you tried doing
make initin either of those directories? That's supposed to be the way to compile anything in the ELKS and ELKSCMD trees nowadays.Yes we have tried ...

I got always this problem whith the file "
linuxmt/type.h" not found. Searching to understand the errors messages, it seems to don't be in the directory "/usr/bcc/include/" ... So, it would be a problem from Dev86xxx ?Is there another package which give the same binaries (almost bcc) and the same compatibility with elks ...
I'm never sure whether we're supposed to use the dev86 or bin86 packages, as both appear to contain the same programs. You could try both and see whther it makes any difference.

I think there is people who'd like to help on this project (as me), but who are lost in this stack of coding page.
For example, it would be good to work harder on an efficient documentation (I think) which would explain what.
We're always looking for people willing to help with the documentation. That side of the project is in a mess at the moment, due to the lack of communication from Al Riddoch, who ran the original website. I've done the best I can with what I have available, but I'm well aware that much from the original site is no longer available as I'm not able to reproduce it.
As a start, if you can put together a set of questions people like you are asking about the code, I'll try turning them into a "Developer's FAQ" on the website, and see if that helps.

I think remembering myself that there were a good documentation on the old website. It was possible to browse the sources, finding some functions throw all the sources ... Am I wrong ?
It was (probably still is) possible to browse some very old sources, but the original website hadn't been updated since early 1997, and what was on there was way out of date as a result. I've not been able to sort out how that was done, as I've not had access to the code used to do it.

PS: Please excuse the english-mistakes and tell me if sth isn't
understandible.
I presume that "sth" is "something", and other than that, I understood your comments enough to answer.
Best wishes from Riley.
