Hi! Thanks for your answer. That looks better.

Still I can't manage to get it compiling. I think I do not understand the syntax here.

As you might have guessed since I am not good with command line interfaces, I am working on windows Razz

Since my error is no longer "Package does not exist" but "Invalid build method", I suppose I got the first two arguments right:

umk MyApps KeyBuddy2

I do not understand why the general command line specification in the documentation is

umk assembly package [-[a][b][e][r][s][S][v][1][2][m][d][M][l][x][X][Hn]] [+FLAG[,FLAG]...] [out]

but then it is explained:

"build_method is build method that is to be used to..."

It's like reading in a recipe: "You need butter, sugar and milk." and later on "Cut all the apples into pieces."

Supposing the specification is:

umk assembly package build_method [-[a][b][e][r][s][S][v][1][2][m][d][M][l][x][X][Hn]] [+FLAG[,FLAG]...] [out]

I can't seem to create a valid build method. I tried

umk MyApps KeyBuddy2 MINGW.bm C:/testout

(since this was the only bm file I found in the upp directory tree)
and I tried

umk MyApps KeyBuddy2 GCC C:/testout
(since I got that from the examples)

Nothing worked.
Could someone create a working line for windows?
I would also like to know where all the flags are explained.

Sorry to appear so frustrated Smile

Thanks in advance!
