No offense taken. I agree with you, I used to know all this complex stuff by heart but now if I would try to get it up and running myself I'd probably spend a lot of time. Yes, the build system is overcomplicated. I think it already has been improved with GoboALFS but I haven't kept up with the details. Lucas is the one who has the answers right now. Sorry for not having better answers and just pinging Lucas again :) -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
