Hi, Dan. Thanks for trying to build it. Please let me know why make failed so I can fix it. There's very little to the code generator, so it should be pretty easy to fix the makemake script. As for porting the GUI, there are a few reasons I haven't bothered. First, it's hard. The GUI is 80% of the work in Datadraw. Personally, I'm more of an algorithms guy, and less of a GUI guy. Also, I haven't needed any new features in the GUI for about 5 years (though I'm looking forward to adding support for 64-bit values in the data type window). The code generators change all the time, but it compiles on Linux. Finally, DataDraw isn't a very popular tool, so I hate to put a lot of work into it, since it's also very mature, stable, and already does what I need. If there were users other than QuickLogic, Synplicity, ViASIC, and myself, I'd be more interested in upgrading the GUI, but as it is, there are more important tasks.
