thanks @dfort for the info . At the moment I having a compiling problem maybe I have something not right or configured wrong .
I'm getting a "make: *** No rules to make target '/Makefile.platform.map . Stop"
First I tried "make clean"
This what I get
ml@ml-pc:~/Magic Lantern /magic-lantern-mymodifications$ make clean
Makefile.setup:5: /home/ml/Magic: No such file or directory
Makefile.setup:5: Lantern: No such file or directory
Makefile.setup:5: /magic-lantern-mymodifications/Makefile.top: No such file or directory
Makefile:13: /Makefile.platform.map: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Makefile.platform.map'. Stop.
ml@ml-pc:~/Magic Lantern /magic-lantern-mymodifications$
Then I tried the code sample from nikfreak
"make -j2
cd platform
cd 6D*
make zip"
then I get this
ml@ml-pc:~/Magic Lantern /magic-lantern-mymodifications$ make -j2 cd platform cd 6D* make zip
Makefile.setup:5: /home/ml/Magic: No such file or directory
Makefile.setup:5: Lantern: No such file or directory
Makefile.setup:5: /magic-lantern-mymodifications/Makefile.top: No such file or directory
Makefile:13: /Makefile.platform.map: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Makefile.platform.map'. Stop.ure what I missed
Yet all the file are there , not sure what I missed
Is there something missing in makefile.user.default file ?
this the content of that file

# Naming convention for Magic Lantern builds:
# General rules:
# - Always specify the camera and its firmware version number in the build name (e.g. 550d.fw109)
# - For non-release builds, specify the build date and author's (nick)name.
# - For experimental builds, add a short keyword indicating the particular feature tested.
# Examples for experimental builds:
# magiclantern-2010dec07.550d.fw108.cropmarks.a1ex.zip
# magiclantern-2010nov23.550d.fw108.selectable-audio.piers.zip
# Example for pre-release builds:
# magiclantern-2010dec17.550d.fw109.PRERELEASE.alex.zip
# Release builds:
# magiclantern-0.2.0.rc1.550d.fw109.zip

Dose anyone see what I'm doing wrong .
Thanks

Edit: I'm using the pre-configured Ubuntu from
here . I notice I didn't have the latest
extension installed , I'll install them and try again
