Thanks, it's a slow and painful process, and we'll end up with less granularity, at least at the beginning. What I want now, is a MVP to be able to build current calibre :/ Out of curiosity, would webengine even build on arm? What I see it building is full blown blink/chromium engine. And this thing has lots of fancy dependencies, both software and hardware. -- Jan Rękorajski | PLD/Linux SysAdm | baggins<at>pld-linux.org | http://www.pld-linux.org/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
