Hey Pete,
Thanks for the quick and helpful response. I first tried
./configure --without-javadx;make, but it still tried to do javac,
so I chose the next easiest method, and edited java out of the
SUBDIRS in Makefile. That worked, but now I have two more questions:
1: When you invoke dx and click on the Samples button, by default
it looks for samples in whatever the current directory was
when you invoked it. You can see the samples (which look
very interesting) that were installed by changing the Filter
field to read -
/usr/local/dx/samples/programs/*.net
Is there a way to change the default, so I don't have to tell
everybody to manually change it to see the samples?
2: I can't get the tutorial to work. When I click on the Run Tutorial
button, I get an empty window with File on the menu bar,
with one option, Quit.
