I don't really like compiling from within X. Especially, but not only, when running a system update, which also updates X, a window manager or a desktop environment, I think this wouldn't be a good idea. Shouldn't do any harm using X, when updating X, but I'm a bit cautious. Nevertheless, compiling a software package, even X software, should work without X, not only because configure, make and package managers of some distributions are CLI apps. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
