Hi stephan
I wrote to you off list but my e mail is being strange, delivering some
messages and not others and not receiving messages from some people at all,
also its not putting messages in my sent items folder. I have written to you
off list, but just thought i'd send to the rb list as an extra check to make
sure you get this, as i did mail you off list before but my mail obviously
decided to be weird.
Anyway in answer to your question, i'm trying to compile for an h140, and
the build error i get is
screens.c:(.text+0x72e): undefined reference to `talk_time'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status.

It would have been quite alright to ask :-).

I did do a test compile before sending it out... You must be using a
different target... Tell me off list what player you are building for and
what error you are getting.

The tool I use is called quilt:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt
It manages a stack of patches: push (apply), pop (unapply), and more
importantly you can have it refresh patches when you edit files. VERY
convenient. You'll have to google a bit to see how to get that going under
Cygwin.

Good luck
