Hi folks,

I have recently been using the edbrowse 3.7.1 package provided by
my package manager on two systems here, debian sid, and archlinux.
I wanted to switch to the git version on both systems, with these
results:

On archlinux, I did a git clone using the URL shown on
www.edbrowse.org, changed to the edbrowse/src directory, did a make
as normal user, and got a successful compile.

On Debian however, the make failed  because of a missing tidy.h  file.
So I then retrieved the latest tidy-html5  master.zip as per the
README, but that compile failed also, because cmake was unable to
successfully compile the simple test program.  Evidently it did not
locate the cxx compiler, which on Debian sid seems to be called cpp,
a simlink to cpp-7, and I'm not sure what to try next.

I repeated the  process capturing the output, and include it below,
about 65 lines.  Any suggestions are most welcome.

I appreciate all the work you folks have been doing and am anxious
to see some of those improvements in action.
