If only it were that simple; the build system upstream has been a mess. The author only supports a manually written makefile, which did not build the shared libs until recently. There is also a cmake system which has built the shared libs for a while, but does not build the "lz4" executable that uses a similar command line interface as other compression tools. Then there was talk of adding an autotools system as well for some unknown reason. What each distro has depends on which build system they choose. Now that both the manual makefile and the cmake system both build a shared lib, it should be possible to switch to it, but not until all (most) distros upgrade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
