I use synaptic to get fltk-dev package. I already had the fltk libs from yesterday. I'm nearly succeeding and here's a list of the relevant parts of my Terminal command lines and the final lines output running the commands: m...@mike-laptop:~/fltk-1.3.x-r6960$ make ... m...@mike-laptop:~/fltk-1.3.x-r6960$ autoconf ... m...@mike-laptop:~/fltk-1.3.x-r6960$ ./configure ... config.status: creating config.h m...@mike-laptop:~/fltk-1.3.x-r6960$ make ... Compiling pngpread.c... Archiving ../lib/libfltk_png.a... === making src === Compiling Fl.cxx... /bin/sh: g++: not found make[1]: *** [Fl.o] Error 127 make: *** [all] Error 1 m...@mike-laptop:~/fltk-1.3.x-r6960$
So please can you advise what to do next? Oh! and prior to finding about MailReactor I'd browsed the web and not found and Mass emailer for Linux. I have been using Atomic Mail Sender on Windows XP for some years but I want to end up never having to run Windows again. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
