I will also attach the files since the upstream site seems 403 - forbidden currently

the .mak file needs to be appended, default rules and small fix:

where $S is the builddir:
    cp gdevhl12.c ${S}/src/gdevhl12.c
    cat gdevhl12-hl1250.mak >> ${S}/src/contrib.mak
-- add the device to the default builds
    sed 's#^\(DEVICE_DEVS6=.*\)$#\1 $(DD)hl1240.dev $(DD)hl1250.dev#' \
        -i "${S}"/Makefile.in "${S}"/src/Makefile.in
--
#if 1
        /* XXX - please report if you ever see this, then change to #if 0 */
That is in the afpl source and I had a report, so:
    sed -i "s:#if 1:#if 0:" "${S}"/src/gdevhl12.c

Basically the issue here is that we don't like adding unmaintained drivers to
the mainstream release. If someone could definitively report why the pxlmono
device isn't an appropriate replacement that would help.
