Yes, all libraries and headers required for building Xastir are installed. All except GDAL and festival, that is --- GDAL is barely used in Xastir and not worth building in for most users, and not including festival is just a habit at this point. I do not recall whether the VM contains a current checkout of CVS Xastir or not, and I'm not near a machine with the VM installed for at least another few hours. If Lee knows the answer perhaps he'll pipe in before then, but regardless I'll double check tonight and see. When I had built the earlier VMs I always had a CVS checkout and a build directory there ready to go, and Lee emulated my approach when he built this VM, so I'm guessing there is. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "It's so simple to be wise: just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." --- Sam Levinson _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
