Hello Johannes, thank you for the quick reply! I have been watching your Fosdem lectures on youtube and the Fosdem website to try learn how to use Goa.
Yes I had visited the link on source forge however it said: "*** Genode migrated to https://github.com/genodelabs/genode *** *** From version 24.08 on, release are exclusively available from *** *** https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/releases *** *** The files here are kept as an archive only." So I thought since you have migrated to github now, the latest tool chain is on the github repository releases, but I couldn't find the pre-compiled genode-toolchain for 24.08, so I thought I must have to compile it myself. "From version 24.08 on, release are exclusively available from https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/releases"; Is 23.05 on source forge the most recent pre-compiled tool_chain available currently? Thank you, I will use that now instead of compiling myself.
