Are you saying that if someone wants to run a program that has

have to install a different version of Linux to run it?
if you aren't happy with the binaries your distributiion ships and your

My distro, Linux Mint 18, is a long-term support release... is it called "ESR"?
I think so.

I did. That's how I found the '.deb' that I installed. I didn't see any "you don't really need this"
tips. But it's moot now. I gave up on cross-compiling due to the problem, but I'm considering
Windows native compilation.
You see, all the folks I've known always downloaded source from inside git. That's why I thought git
had to have a full-time Internet connection. That I could download the '.git' and move it into the
Windows host surprised me. And before you note that I assume too much -- you're right! -- I rarely
get specific, unambiguous answers to questions and often resort to parsing for clues. If I get the
parsing wrong, it's my fault of course, but getting some sympathy from the folks here sure would be
nice.
I sure wish I could get of the s**t list here. What I'm trying to do is interesting, and I'd like to
both get help and share the results. If it's a journey that many have already taken, well, that's
okay for me because it's a worthy journey. If it (i.e., 5-5-5-5 pull-down) is not a journey not
taken before, then I'm a pioneer -- "How can you identify the pioneers? They're the ones with the
arrows in their backs! -- and I'm willing to spend the time and take the arrows.
