Well it might look easy but when you look into it...:) > Since my knowledge of the system is limited to using configure and > autogen.sh scripts, could you explain the difference between having just > autoconf support and having both autoconf and automake support? Well autoconf create the configure script from configure.in(ac) configure creates Makefile from Makefile.in and config.h from config.h.in. (well in most cases). automake creates a Makefile.in from Makefile.am which suppose to make it easier to maintain your make files. I think it mostly a matter of taste I think, if you already have a working make file and they don't need major changes I don't think there is much point in moving to automake. Usually it can make the install and dist system easier to maintain and more flexable. > > and second unrelated question, how is the field of linking consoles to the > > computer goes? is there a way to emulate link over the net yet? > > Do you mean emulating the ability to connect several consoles to each > other?

Almost it, Just the adding of link using pport to the computer and then emulating the link above it;) Ely _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
