Encountered a few missing package errors when running the script build-gcc .

(for the STUFF YOU NEED section):

Required packages were missing on stock Ubuntu installation.

MISSING PACKAGES: bison , flex and texinfo .

Yeah, it'll need a little converting. If you don't have it yourself by later today, I'll do the conversion myself. I just compiled the 1.07 rc7 code and am interested in how it does.

EDIT: Okay, here's musicdemo4 with the Z80 code and the makefile altered for sjasmplus. It was really simple.

Thanks. Got anything that works on Windows ? I do prefer Linux but stuck in the MS matrix for a while.

That's fine - feel free. Remember that I did a number of revisions to the code through the thread that did different compression levels, and better compressors. So be sure to check them all out and find the one that suits your purposes most closely. If you have any questions fitting the code in ...

Tested your demo on a JXD 1000 (Sunplus PMP8000-powered, using its Megadrive emulator.)

The audio plays back very well, considering the extraordinary compression ratio. 24 minutes crammed into a 4 megabyte rom is amazing.

I am interested in using your code in a slideshow (picture + speech) demo ...
