That worked~!
Thanks Allen~!!
Man, it scrolled line after line for like 25 minutes, maybe 35 minutes.
(I finally walked away)

Okay, so now I've done my first compile?
Well, here's what I got - 
Went back and checked the dro.c file, and 
sure enough, that line you told me take out was back,
so I edited it out again.

Now, the problems - 
emc-sim runs, but I still get no encoder feedback.
emc-generic runs, but no feedback.
emc-mini won't even run after clicking it.
emc-run gives the popimage, but never comes up after that.

What'd I do wrong?
