I'm glad that Arch had a bug report linking to upstream, it made it a walk in the park, unlike trying to work out why a cmake package is failing to complete the cmake stage : if I wasn't a veggie I'd be looking for some entrails to use for divination ;) Douglas - if you haven't got to gtk+-3.22.4 I can take it (#8466), but probably not for about 20 hours. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
