And it works! But one could be more questioning. Starting with a newly minted Mint xfce, so easy to do as a Virtual Machine, there is indeed a gcc 4.8.2 already there. Starting an rpcemu 0.8.11 build ./configure indicates "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables, See `config.log' for more details", which didn't help much. Trying to compile a simple "Hello World" failed but that did indicate that "stdio.h" was missing. Headers then. All that needs to be installed is 'lib6-dev', which is included in 'build-essential'.

'liballelegro4-dev' is available from Synaptic. -- David Pitt _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
