How to "fix" a package depends on the actual issue, bug, new compiler warnings or errors as usually in the upstream package source. Common, easy examples are: adding a missing #include <> directive, adding some cast for new GCC C++ nitpicking, or changing some API calls to match new X.org, Gtk+, etc. issues. But this really is usually regular C programming topic. René -- René Rebe, ExactCODE GmbH, Jaegerstr. 67, DE-10117 Berlin http://exactcode.com | http://t2-project.org | http://rene.rebe.name Thanks for the reply. Am a sysadmin but am not a programmer. I just tried to do an embedded build with no changes at all into the ./scripts/Config script except to print the output to the screen. An error occurred during the building of the "gatling" package and the building is aborted. I disabled it from the "target/embedde/config.in" file and the build continued......an error occurred again in the "strongswan" package build,.. . i disabled it again and the building continued,....an error then occurred in the "mininet" package building,... i disabled it but the building then stopped after the "Searching for old lingering files ..." section. Something was missing.... As a sysadmin and not a programmer is there anything i can do to survive by continue using the T2 project to build custom linux distributions? Thanks in advance
