Re: [SLUG] Unzip and install
Thanks Miachel and Gottfried. I now have an opened file sitting as follows: /home/john/vym-1.7.0 Any advice on how I get it to actually run? John.

RTFM cd /home/john/vym-1.7.0 Look for a README or INSTALL text file and read them. It should state what to do. I got no idea what vym is, so cant comment further Thanks -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

From the FAQ on the website ( http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/faq.html#id47367 ) Make sure you have QT installed (more info about QT can be found in the link at Documentation-QT. For example in SUSE Linux you need the qt3 rpms.) Then run qmake to generate the Makefile and afterwards a simple make should build you the executable. To install the binaries you can call make install -- Pete, in an incredibly good mood because it's Friday afternoon -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
