I last built fbc on linux a couple weeks ago. There was some weird bug in the configure cross-compilation options, so I had to edit the Makefile (but you won't if you don't want cross-compilation). Also since I was compiling on a 64 bit multi-lib system, I had to edit the Makefile for that too since the configure output was totally incorrect. If you're building rtlib you have to do it twice, once with multithreading and once without. Also if you don't have objinfo installed (I never do), you'll have to configure --without-objinfo. I'm not sure how you're meant to package everything together; I just stuck my custom compiled binaries into the official linux binary installer before installing it. So I guess it's not so straightforward. _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
