In the documentation sent with Manx Aztec C v5.0, they state that libraries from v3.6 and earlier will need to be recompiled, as the format changed incompatibly. I haven't checked to see if the v3.6 linker option "+L +L" still works, allowing Manx to link against Lattice libs (I never used it under 3.6). I just finished re-compiling the ARP glue libraries from source. Manx changed the way make works, so I am having trouble compiling my program that will use the ARP interface... BTW: Manx changed the default .c.o action in make so that if the source is in a different directory than the current, the object goes in the other directory, instead of the old Manx (and current Unix -- I think) action that the object goes in the current directory.
