Actually not.

You are right. The examples must go back to the time before autotools.
If you dig in the history of the mailing list you will find out that
there was autotools placed in but many people could not compile on there
systems. So we decided to move back to Makefile and a simple config.h.
As you can see, it works :-) But the examples are not back-patched yet.
Sorry for this.

Can you read the texi file first. Thanks! :-)
If you have to much trouble with the @..@ symbols feel free to ask for
patches.

There is no output :-)
You have not asked anything to print out. If you wish, try -t option.

....../simulavr -f hello -d atmega128 -Texit -ttrace
....../simulavr -f hello -d atmega128 -Texit -t/dev/stdout
last will print on screen, first in file "trace"

After execution you have the trace data in "trace". Or use other options
for statistics (not sense full without irq) or for debugging with
gdb/ddd or others.

Hope that helps a bit


For the examples I will take a look next week.
