Hi,
Thanks, but when I do a make in micro, it fails.

This is error .
************error log *************************
[root@localhost micro]# make
rm -f altera_keb_plx_5e.rbf MPEG1_6.HLD kfir_micro.h
dd bs=1 if=/dos/c/windoze/system/KfirLib.dll skip=1700008 
count=32385 of=altera
keb_plx_5e.rbf
dd: /dos/c/windoze/system/KfirLib.dll: No such file or directory
make: *** [altera_keb_plx_5e.rbf] Error 1
************error log *************************
The previous release does not have any of these files.


Thanks and Regards
Deepak
