for you, but i have no time. simply compile it by yourself. use the source code zip and run "make" in the src directory.

you say "it wan't execute" so there must be a problem and the problem will be explained by the error message of your linux system.

did you start plpcfgbt from the command line? if not then do that. plpcfgbt has no gui.

this means your glibc is too old. so you have to compile the program on your system.

Post by: Elmar on May 30, 2012, 12:51:15 PM
the donation is not really the problem. i am so dumb and help mostly without getting any cent. but there is no "please" in any posting of you. you want help, so the word "please" is the minimum that others can expect from you. one please would have been enough. so i am not interested to help. i will not prepare a plpbt.bin for you.

but who cares. a last help from me: if you had looked a bit deeper to the documentation then i am sure you had found that http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/plpbt-parameter.html

final words: i dont want to be quibble, but no "regards" and similar are the other reason for short and limited answers.

ok , well i didn't mean to offend , but i didn't realize you were so soft hearted about this... but you did come off a little bit about "not having the time" (it would take a whole five minutes)  and suggesting "that I donate first" before you'll help , please re-read our postings and you might see how i'd take it that way....

i was just trying to figure out how to open a .bin file in linux...


as for the link you provided , i looked it over and Have seen all that info before , but still really doesn't help me much , i assume that in order to use that info , the plopBM needs to be on the hard drive???  is that right???


but if you could please help me on this i would be very greatful..

you said at reply 14 that you only want to have a modified bin. before i thought you want a plpcfgbt that works on your linux and i should compile it for you.

about the donation. i did not really think that i get a few euros/dollars.

however, i stop this now. attached is the bin file

bye
