William,like I said every search I do is not helping - and I do alot of searching, and I can get the project out of git hub.
I think you misunderstand, I appreciate how important GitHub is and more importantly the effort people put in to create the code. If I didn't I wouldn't be referencing it. I had already managed to get the project out etc. The issue I have is the large jump from code to building a kernel with modification, ensuring it is built with the correct components etc and ensuring that every subsequent C project I write can pick up and use the new library.. I think you have perhaps forgotten how long it takes to learn or you did it incrementally. There is alot of it and it is very daunting - wonder how many people have been put off by the scale or the attitude.
