What is the problem of bundling X11 install.sh as it is done by other software? It has clear benefits over your proposal: 1. It works with cross-compilation. 2. It works not only with Solaris 11 but with a lot more operating systems as well. 3. It is proven way already. -- HE CE3OH... _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
